Yes. From John's article/blog a few days a go.

Within two weeks, the field of eight teams will be complete for the Gulf Coast Classic in Ostero, Florida, in which UConn will play Nov. 27-29, 2014. Already included the field are Villanova, Minnesota, Arizona State and Green Bay. Once the remainder of the field is signed, the match-ups will be announced.
I have been told neither Notre Dame or Tennessee will be a part of the field, so that’s not happening under the Thanksgiving sunshine.

Wisc-Green Bay is a really good mid major. Since 2000, they have made the NCAA's 10 times. Very impressive.

I would love to see them add Gonzaga.

Zags would be a plus pap. I will enjoy seeing how A'ja does among these teams. [It is the power of positive thinking.]

To be held in Estero, not Ostero.

They have a very good coach and play excellent basketball.

They are famous for their power sweep.
