Lots of good matchups. The Kansas/SJU game with be the first basketball game at the new UBS Arena in Belmont (where the NY Islanders will play)....

No Marquette vs. Texas? Pretty good matchups overall.

It is awesome just to have basketball games scheduled for us to look forward to. Would have been nice to have Kansas or Texas with Christian bishop now playing in Omaha, but lots of storylines with Iowa State and McDermont so that should be fun.

How long is this agreement?

How long is this agreement?

Only through 2022. If the Big 12 ends moving to Fox, it might be salvaged. However, at least through 2025, I can see next year being the last year for a while.

Depends on what happens going forward. As of right now they're still set up to be a solid basketball conference, but there could be some additional membership shakeup coming. Long-term something with the PAC might become preferable.

It would be nice to see this extended even with the conference membership changing.

Agreed. My only comment on it is that the Crosstown Shootout should remain its own thing; Xavier v UC should not be merged into this arrangement.
