Prarie view
I was trying to find the best teams with at least 3 white starters. I assume Iowa will have at least 3 white starters between the McCaffrey boys, Bohannon, Rebraca, and possibly Wieskamp, if he returns.
Another idea for a 4 team OOC Tournament is the Time Zone Tournament Classic.
UCLA (PST/Pac 12)
BYU (MST/WCC)
Iowa (CST/B10)
Villanova (EST/Big East)
And this could change every year and have a host of different matchups, all in an effort to determine the superior time zone (hint.....which we all know is Central Standard Time anyway, but we'll let the others have something to believe in)
Haha of course we all know Iowa wouldn't be representing the central. Wouldn't even be in the top 10 for CT teams.

Iowa > all those other teams in the CST including f***Kansas, f***Illinois, f***Texas, f***Oklahoma, f***Oklahoma State f***Baylor (obvious), f***Texas Tech, f***LSU, f***Arkansas, f***Alabama, and of course.....f*** Wisconsin.
That about cover it?........

Haha nice. I'll give you Wisconsin, though.
In the past 40 years, has Iowa ever been the best team in the Central Time Zone? Maybe 1987? That's probably about it. To be fair, the Mountain Time Zone is absolute crap. You guys probably could have been the best team in the MT several times.

And yet Iowa > all those teams
Also, you put us in a 4 team tournament with time zone supremacy on the line, and it won't matter if the other 3 teams are NBA All-Star squads from teams in the other 3 time zones. Iowa will make sure that everyone knows why the central time zone is the best time zone in the world, let alone the U.S. (I was gonna say "holds the best teams" as well, but I can't back that up.....)
Collectively, the Pacific and Mountain are kind of pathetic. Since John Wooden stepped down in 1975, those two regions have combined to win 3 national titles (UNLV, UCLA, Arizona). In that same time period, Central has only won 4. So yes, 38 of the past 45 national champs have come from the Eastern Time Zone.
Here's another interesting tidbit:
This past Final Four between Gonzaga, UCLA, Baylor, and Houston was the first time in Final Four history without a representative from the Eastern Time Zone.

A mistake we're going to correct one year at a time......
Got it screwed up with the other dumb tournament Kentucky is in. My bad. Definitely think it should be a round robin then.
How much of Indians is in the Central Time Zone
I know Kentucky is like 50/50
Crazy thing is some of the Florida is in the Central as well and it touches the Atlantic

As of April 2, 2006, most of Indiana is in the Eastern time zone, except 18 counties in northwest and southwest Indiana that have remained or changed to the Central time zone. Indiana now observes Daylight-saving time.
IIRC correctly prior to then, they didn't observe daylight saving time.
@IUfanBorden
Time Zones are serious business in Indiana it looks like 😂
I was wondering because I thought a lot more of Indiana was in the central. I guess a lot of the counties went back to being in the Eastern
Had to look it up.
