The field for the 2015 Advocare Invitational (formerly the Old Spice Classic) includes five teams that reached the NCAA tournament last season, including two in Notre Dame and Wichita State who met in the Sweet 16 with the Fighting Irish winning. Wednesday it was reported by ESPN.com that the matchups have been determined, with the two teams sitting on opposite sides of the bracket.
The lone quarterfinal matchup with two NCAA tournament teams is the one between Dayton and Iowa, with both teams expected to make a return trip in 2016.
Archie Miller’s Flyers, who won games over Boise State and Providence before falling to Oklahoma in the Round of 32, lost just Jordan Sibert from last season’s rotation and will be much deeper than the seven-man outfit that nearly reached the Sweet 16.
