I think you have to favor the Memphis Teams and Oak Ridge and Future in a tournment like this due to overall depth. While several teams go 5-6 deep with excellent players in a tournment were you have to play 5-6 games in three days, the legs go so depth is more important. Jump shots tend to go away as the finals approach. Thus the teams that can play 8-9 with significant minutes and still compete at a high level have an advantage.

Jadoka,

 

The only team that has significant depth is YOMCA most of the other teams have a short bench. Especially the Future and the Shooting stars. I would favor YOMCA to place first and it is really a toss up from there. The Future definitly has a shot at winning it and so does Oak Ridge and you can't count out the Wildcats especially if their bench can step up and play hard.

Being from East Tennessee, I feel as though the Oak Ridge Bulls will be the team to beat. No team has came close to beating these guys and I feel as though they're to tuff. But hey, I don't know much about the Memphis teams so who knows. My long shot will be the Knoxville Cagers, they shouldn't be playing in this tournament but they had a good showing in substate but they will be the first time out.
