Thanks for the info...but now I am confused. How does UW-Mil. fit into this? Why are they the only team in the tourney playine one game? Am I missing something here?

As I suspected, Univ-Wisconsin-Milwaukee is hosting a similar event. Their website has not been updated of late, but I was able to get the following from the UMICH site. I quote:

"The 15-game non-conference schedule begins with the Wolverines hosting the John Thompson Challenge Friday through Sunday (Nov. 10-12). The John Thompson Challenge will be a round-robin tournament format played at Crisler Arena as well as U.S. Cellular Arena (Milwaukee, Wis.). Following the three-game round robin play, hosts Michigan and UW-Milwaukee will play a final challenge game at Crisler Arena (Wednesday, Nov. 15). Teams participating at the Michigan site will be Central Connecticut State, Davidson and Eastern Michigan, while teams at the UW-Milwaukee site will be Radford, UAB and Washington State."
