Upon reflecting on the season, (the only way to quell my boredom during this college basketball- less period) an interesting premise came to mind. If the Portsmouth Tournament was expanded to include twenty teams as opposed to the traditional eight, these are the squads I would compile out of my "top" rated seniors. I attempted to create evenly matched squads. These interesting teams should provide some food for thought later in the season. Any feedback would be appreciated.
