This looks great! Are those AI generated images? I may have to put together a rivalry like this myself!

Yes, AI generated, the writeup is also AI generated.

As are the team photos and articles in the Xavier news feed, plus lots more on Discord

Really cool, Stromstar.

Kinda dig the UD jerseys with the sky blue. Even if it wasn't intentional, Air Force/Wright brothers and all that.

Tomorrow SWO kicks off their second annual rivalry games. All 4 teams won their game today and I should be more competitive this year, (i hope).

Southwest Ohio Invitational: Clash of Titans

The 2nd annual Southwest Ohio Invitational promises an exhilarating showdown as four powerhouse teams—Xavier Musketeers, Cincinnati Bearcats, Miami Ohio Redhawks, and Dayton Flyers—battle it out on the hardwood. With rosters retooled and strengths redefined, each team enters the tournament with a unique identity and hunger for victory.

Xavier Musketeers: Precision Strikers
Armed with precision shooters and a stifling defense, the Musketeers pose a formidable threat to their opponents. Led by Harrison and Nolen, Xavier excels in shooting and ball movement. Look out for Colson to anchor the defense and thwart any scoring attempts in the paint.
Star Player: Sonny Harrison (SF)

Cincinnati Bearcats: Floor Generals
With a dynamic backcourt led by Ferguson and Belanger, the Bearcats boast an explosive offense and tenacious defense. Versatility is their weapon, as players like Rossi and Patterson provide scoring options from all angles.
Star Player: Curt Ferguson (PG)

Miami Ohio Redhawks: Sharpshooters
Hudgins and Lynch headline a deadly outside shooting squad, while Chance and Galvan dominate the paint. The Redhawks' elite 3PT shooting makes them a threat from anywhere on the court.
Star Player: Mark Hudgins (SG)

Dayton Flyers: Dominant Inside Force
Hull and Warner form an imposing frontcourt duo, controlling the boards and protecting the rim with authority. With Velez orchestrating the offense the Flyers impose their will in the paint.
Star Player: Fred Hull (PF)

Those are great images. Some of the fingers have the AI issue...but otherwise, they look great.

Good images. Those guys on the bottom though…
I think the bigger the players are in the image, the less cursed they can be made. Just curious, what kind of prompts do you give these AI? For the photos, and the write ups. I wouldn’t think an AI could make a decent write up. If you are just going to feed it all the info about the players traits, wouldn’t it just be easier to write it yourself? Or is the AI just kind if “guessing” about the player?

Three teams went 2-1 this year thanks to UC's overtime heroics against Miami of Ohio. Xavier will get the crown this year based on points differential.

Xavier 2-1 +22
Miami OH 2-1 +20
Cincinnati 2-1 +14
Dayton 0-3 -56

Dayton's promotion last year now has all SWO teams in D1 play. Starting the 4th year of the invitational, Miami has 2 titles, Xavier has 1 by the slimmest of margins. Can anyone beat Miami this year? Can Dayton win their first SWO game this year? Looking forward to it.
