Bennett's Bracket

Semi-Finals:
Both the Kansas State Wildcats and the Missouri Tigers are dealing with a multitude of losses from last year’s rosters, and they were the team’s best players. Despite the losses, the teams have started the 2015-16 season a combined 5-1 and have looked impressive so far. Kansas State has been more impressive than the Tigers, and they will come out on top on Monday.
---Kansas State 78, Missouri 68

This contest should have been the Championship of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic, as opposed to the semi-finals. The two teams are the top two in the challenge, so it will make for a great opener. North Carolina is looking to avenge their loss to Northern Iowa that cost them the #1 ranking in the polls, and will make a big statement over Bryant McIntosh and the Northwestern Wildcats.
---North Carolina 90, Northwestern 76

Championship:
The result of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic should be a no-brainer, and barring another upset victory, the North Carolina Tar Heels should come out on top with relative ease. After getting past their toughest competition of the tournament in the semi-finals, the Tar Heels have the talent to roll over either the Wildcats or the Tigers. North Carolina wins and the game is never in question.
---North Carolina 86, Kansas State 70
