year, ESPN and the MAAC will put on the Old Spice Classic at Disney’s Wide World
of Sports Complex in Orlando. Last season’s tournament, won by Arkansas, was a
competitive event that featured five teams who eventually played in the
postseason. Will this year’s group of eight yield the same success? The answer
