Myrtle Beach Invitational
Dates: Starting Nov. 25 Original location: Myrtle Beach, S.C. New location: Orlando Who’s in: Charlotte, Dayton, Furman, Loyola-Chicago, Missouri, Nebraska, Pitt, Utah State Breakdown: The field here doesn’t look as strong on
some others on paper, but that could change. Dayton, one of last
season’s darlings, is a good start. Missouri, Nebraska and Pitt are all
high-majors looking to step up in their respective conferences. And
Furman, Loyola and Utah State have all been competitive mid-majors.

The most intriguing men’s college basketball players for the 2020-21 season--The Athletic
20. A.J. Green, Northern Iowa
You’re going to have to take a slightly longer view on this one,
although the insta-background on the 6-4 junior is notable enough: Top
80 recruit doesn’t leave his hometown to play college ball, takes home
Missouri Valley Conference freshman of the year honors and then averages
19.7 points as a sophomore for a 25-win team
to earn the league’s player of the year award. No, what’s increasingly
intriguing is Green’s potential to etch his name in the conference’s
record books over the long haul and thereby put himself in some pretty
illustrious company. He has 1,119 points in two seasons; if Green just
matches that output for the next two years, he’d surpass Doug McDermott
for fourth place on the MVC’s career scoring list. If he maintains
something close to his 2019-20 pace, he should slide into third. It’ll
take some big, big nights to push toward D.J. Ballentine (second place
with 2,464 points) and Hersey Hawkins (first with 2,569), but it’s a
pursuit worth monitoring.
Salukis could lose Puerto Rico trip after NCAA pushes start date--Southern Illinoisan
I was a little shocked at the collective disrespect sent AJ Green’s way by my 3MW colleagues. Green had a terrific 2019-20 campaign, earning MVC Player of the Year honors while leading the Purple Panthers to a top-50 KenPom ranking and an outright conference title. A shocking MVC Tournament dismantling at the hands of Drake may have lowered his value, though.
66. Cameron Krutwig, C
Quite possibly the best passing big man in the country, Krutwig is the offensive fulcrum for a Ramblers squad that could evoke memories of the 2018 squad that crashed the big boys’ Final Four party - complete with the big lefty dominating the paint. It may seem like he’s been around forever, and he’s continued to get better throughout the years.
