Glad to hear that -- I was a little concerned ESPN would shut the Big East out of Maui in future years since the conference bolted for Fox.

Creighton is playing in some tourney in Destin, Florida. I do not know who the other participants are or whether it is over Thanksgiving or Christmas.
It seems strange that we don't get asked to the CBE classic in Kansas City. It is right in our backyard and Creighton would probably bring 7,000+ fans to the event.

yeah. I remember back when Alaska used to be a great tourney. Gone way down hill recently. Would love for FS1 to pick it up and funnel some $$$ in there to get great teams to revive the tournament.
