For at least a year we've been suggesting that with over 50,000 seats and
three powerhouse teams, the Triangle really should pursue a major preseason or
early season tourney. Our suggestion was the Winn-Dixie Classic. Eddie Landreth
has an excellent suggestion on the same lines - why
not move the Great Eight to the Triangle? It'd be huge here, a massive
hit. The area teams wouldn't even have to play each other, assuming they got in, and the
attention would be huge.
