Seems like we are doing more tournaments/overseas/unique OOC matchups then we were trying to do prior to Coach Grant.

Maybe it's just me.

I wonder if it's because we are having to get creative with finding quality matchups because of all the success that has come with McCasland.

They mentioned on one of the previous games that teams can bond faster on road trips and tournaments because they have to travel together, stay together, eat together, etc and can't just go back to their apartments.

We got into the NIT one year…. Of course we all know how that ended…

Honestly all most every year for the last 10-15 years we have played in a tourney.

Grant has stated in a couple of interviews that these tournaments are the only way they can get challenging games.  Nobody will do a home & home with him.  Every Big 12 team in Texas and Oklahoma has declined at some point in the past 3 years.

Doesn't appear so.  Here is what I could find on MGS going back to 2012.  I thought it was interesting that the NIT Season Tip Off in 2012 is not clearly labeled on our website.  They just look like normal scheduled games.  Other tournaments are clearly labeled.  Maybe there are others that we did that are not clearly marked?

They must not be marked because we did one in California before…. As well as one where we played in Oregon or Washington I think. Portland was in that one. Most all of Benfords years we had tournaments. Some were just four teams. Which that was in 13-14. Just checked. 
 

15-16 we were in a tournament where we hosted games. I had oral surgery that year and remember going to the Idaho game right after. It was the mean green showcase tournament. 
 

it seems like almost every year we played in some form of tournament wether we host it or not.

We played a tournament hosted by Loyola Marymount in JJs final season.
