We will be hosting an MTE / ULM is 1st known oppponent.

This looks great to me:

Tournament: Tech, Indiana, UCLA, Gonzaga, Tulane, Georgia Tech, UCSB, ACU

We have 2 spots to fill in our MTE. Looking at the available teams, I don't think NW State will be one, because ULM is scheduled to play them later (not that they can't play twice). Maybe Nichols State and a SWAC team. Maybe ORU.

Would be awesome to get TCU.
