The Holy Land of Hoops

Official announced that Creighton will be part of this event during Thanksgiving. Field includes Clemson, Georgia and UMASS. Field not that impressive but atleast it will be on ESPN.

There was more than one MGM Grand Event. It won't be on ESPN. More like ESPNU or espn3.

Jet, does that mean we also get two games at home in conjunction with the Tournament? If yes, I hope they're better than this year!

Yeah, it will be two cupcakes though.

Good event for creighton next year. Hopefully they win it.

Not every pre-season tourney has to be the maui classic to gain credibility. Just win as many of them as possible.

I'm really bummed we don't have any teams in battle for atlantis. That tourney was awesome the past couple of years.

This year, one semifinal was on espnu while the final was on espn2. Rest on espn3.

Too many tournaments are on the espn family of networks. The tournament at Barclays Center with Villanova and VCU was on tv while Michigan and Oregon was on espn3.

Hopefully some of those tournaments will move over to FS1 and FS2. That might be challenging, however, considering ESPN and ESPN+ operate a ton of them in the first place.
