I like the 4 teams here. Beats playing Norfolk St and similar teams.

Virtually assures we won't have the weakest non-conference schedule in the Power 5 again...

Nice! I'll make this trip for sure. Great slate of games.

Go Gophers!!

Las Vegas does a really good job of attracting college basketball. There must at least 3 conference tournaments there.

Nice. This year's event is Baylor/Virginia and UCLA/Illinois. Last year was Arizona/Wichita State and Michigan/UNLV.

Some awfully good fields. By next year....who knows? Gophers could be pretty legit.

Go Gophers!!

If it doesn’t include Thanksgiving I’ll probably make it too.

Assuming this means we’ll play 2/3 of those teams? A 4 team bracket type of thing?

Yes.

Would guess matchups of:

San Diego State vs. Pitt
Gophers vs. Washington

Just hoping it doesn't conflict with a home football game, I'd like to make the trip as well!
