Florida is a top tier SEC school usually I like it.

Old Dominion was very good this year. I dont know what they return, but looks like a good early season matchup.

I hope this isn't the only non-conference tournament we play in next year.

It is. You can only play in one tournament.

Pretty good tournament. Old Dominion is a decent team that will be fairly good next year and Florida will be MUCH better next year. If you can't beat ODU, you don't deserve to play Florida, and should get stuck with St. Joes.

So, we know we have:
ODU -- Fringe NCAA Team
Florida (hopefully) -- NCAA Team
Butler -- NCAA Team
Vanderbilt -- NCAA Team
Big Ten / ACC Challenge -- Likely NCAA Team on road

That's a good start to a non-conf. schedule.
