We did an early preview of this tournament back in July and it is still worth reading a few months later. This is the Rebels chance to show that they have the talent and more importantly the coaching to be a quality NCAA tournament team. This year the Rebels are 3-0 against lesser competition, so the opener Monday night against UCLA will be a tough matchup.
The tournament has technically already gotten underway with some games on the mainland and that info along with the bracket and schedule is below. Every game is also streaming on WatchESPN.
