Very nice

Would that be two games or just 1 game?

One game - they already have a multi-game tournament scheduled for the '21-'22 season I believe.

It's always been 2 games in 2 days before.

This is right. Unless something is different in 2021, it'll be 4 teams, two semi-final games, and then the consolation and championship game the following day.

So Louisville v PC, Zags vs Potsdam State for a Ville-Zags final? PC draws well at MSG so if they upset Mack the Monkey it’s not a disaster.

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

They usually have 4 pretty strong teams.

Oklahoma State appears to be the fourth invitee.

According to that Louisville will headline, accompanied by GU, Providence, and OK St.

Is this part of the preseason NIT or another event?

I think that it's great that the possible #1 preseason team will be upstaged by Louisville, just for the east coast folks.

It looks to me like the inaccurate take of a Louisville-centric writer for ESPN....

Anyone find the dates for this event in 2021

Anyone find the dates for this event in 2021

It's usually the Thurs/Fri of the week before Thanksgiving so would think Nov 18/19, 2021.
