Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

As per Jon Rothstein:
Ohio State at Xavier
Illinois at Marquette
Seton Hall at Michigan
St. John's at Indiana
Rutgers at DePaul
Creighton at Nebraska
Michigan State at Butler
Providence at Wisconsin

Villanova, Georgetown and UConn sitting out this round. Some good games and interesting matchups IMHO

So, the real battle for Ohio is finally allowed to take place.

Nova, Georgetown AND UCONN all being out of this in the SAME year makes little sense to me.

I am guessing Creighton/Nebraska was needed to get 8 matchups.

Looks like an easy 10-0 to me!

Some underwhelming matchups and lazy scheduling having Nebraska as part of the games.

Some good match-ups still without having Nova, Georgetown AND UCONN in the games.

disappointing, MSU had been reporting it might play Nova, but it makes sense, Nova has played in it every year.

Happy to see the Johnnies playing Indiana. Also playing Kansas in Big 12 challenge so a big improvement in terms of opponent and name recognition.

SJU has played 4 times in the Gavitt Games (twice vs Rutgers and once against Nebraska and Minnesota).

Sounds like Marquette was supposed to host Rutgers but some matchups had to be rearranged so RU could duck them.
