The tournament remains one of the most well-known preseason tournaments, along with the Maui Invitational and the Great Alaska Shootout. The tournament had a new format in 2006. The first two rounds were held at regional \"common sites\" instead of campus sites, making the format more like the postseason NCAA Tournament. The semifinals and finals were still held at Madison Square Garden. In 2006, the common sites were Charlotte, N.C., Nashville, Tenn., Indianapolis and Spokane, Wash. The tournament returned to its previous format in 2007 then returned to the 2006 format in 2009."@en . "Rhode Island"@en . "Virginia"@en . "UAB"@en . "FIU"@en . "Missouri State"@en . "Oklahoma"@en .
