    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.

              They usually have 4 pretty strong teams.

                Oklahoma State appears to be the fourth invitee.

                Louisville Basketball will reportedly be heading back to The Big Apple in the near future, and take part in the 2021 Empire Classic at Madison Square Garden.

                    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.
                            Not even a smile? What's your problem!

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