Per Rick Barnes. Will be in 2022 in Portland. It is 2 Nike schools from each of the P5 conferences, 2 from Big East, 2 other mid majors and Portland and Portland State.
North Carolina, Duke, UConn, Gonzaga, Michigan State are the other teams who are known to have accepted invites.
Who will the other SEC team be? I assume UK rejected the invite since Cal doesn’t play in these tournaments. Florida would have to be the smart money I assume since they made the finals of the PK80 last November.

Florida and Arkansas played in the inaugural PK80 tourney last year.
Not sure who the other SEC team would be.

I assume Florida will be asked back. UNC, Duke, MSU, etc. played in the PK80 as well obviously.

Could be a number of teams. There will be two brackets and two champions.
I’d assume they’d go with someone besides Florida, but who knows. Some of the other teams are the same. It will likely be a Nike school. So that eliminates aTm, SCar, AU, State and is that it?

Florida and Arkansas seem to be the only other legitimate options. Maybe LSU?

What happens if Phil Knight croaks before then?

Sources at Nike are saying LSU might not be invited because the organizers want to make it fair for the other teams to have a chance to win, more of a balanced tournament.
