We have more on WSU’s new tournament after the jump.

It should be an interesting field. Harvard and No. 15 Oklahoma are respected programs and Auburn is expected to rise under the leadership of new coach Bruce Pearl. BYU and New Mexico played in the NCAA tournament last season and should be competitive again next year.

The Cougars have played in the tournament once before, falling to Butler in the championship game in 2010.  The Cougars beat Mississippi State in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic that season, then upset No. 15 Baylor in the second round.

Each team will play once per day with a day off on the 24 ^th .
