Given that Saint Joe’s isn’t very good and Georgetown may not be (though the Hoyas handled both American and Siena with ease after dropping their home opener to Dartmouth), expect an all-Southern California final on Friday. ![]() That didn’t happen, so this edition, which sees the Hoyas lined up against three new opponents, will be the first streamlined Anaheim tournament.
