The Bulldogs enter the tournament with the most basketball championships out of all the schools. The men enter with 27 titles and the women enter with 30. Both teams enter the week of the tournament with winning records. The men enter with a record of 11-7 and the women with a record of 12-7, with one game remaining for each on Wednesday. The women’s team has won the previous four tournaments dating back to 2014. The men have not lost a championship since 2015. They hope to continue to show dominance at home this weekend.
