The 2010 Men's Open tournament will present challenges for all teams in the tournament. 15 teams will try to dethrone the defending open champions: James Madison.
WAIT...I typed this already...gotta fix it...wait what's that?...James Madison won both open championships?...Oh...right.
Let's take a look at this year's open field to see how each team fared last year at the NCCS championships.
This year's field looks to be a tough go for James Madison. Four of the eight quarterfinal teams, including James Madison, return to attempt to capture the open crown. They include:
2009 Open Semifinalist: Villanova and quarterfinalists Colorado "Black" and Connecticut.
2009 Open teams who are also returning include Iowa State, Texas "B"*, Towson, Kansas and Virginia Tech. *-Texas returns but sent one team last year only to open. This year Texas "A" will be in the championship division while "B" plays in open.
The rest of the field includes newcomers for this year that did not participate in either tournament last year which includes: Boston College, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo "B", Central Washington, Fort Lewis College, SUNY Cortland, Miami (FL) and United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School.
Will it be the field or will it be a back-to-back open championships for James Madison? (Didn't I type this already? Oh...right)
It all begins on Thursday!!!
