Over the next four days there are a number of college basketball tournaments to take place. Even though most of the country will be on a long weekend, it is difficult to fit college hoops in between eating, family gatherings, football, shopping, eating, more football and even more eating.
But if you get a chance to fit some hoops in, there are some real good tournaments going down. Here are the Big East teams that will be taking part:
Pittsburgh - NIT Season Tip-Off (Wednesday and Friday)
Tonights game is the marquee game: Pittsburgh vs. #4 Michigan at the Garden.
Louisville - Battle 4 Atlantis (Thursday thru Saturday)
This is an eight team field with four top-25 teams. The potential for high-caliber match-ups is probable. A Louisville vs. Duke championship would draw a few eyes.
Cincinnati - Global Sports Classic (Friday and Saturday)
This is a four team tournament taking place in Vegas. Cincinnati has yet to be tested, but a potential matchup with UNLV (a home game for the Rebels) would give them a feel for where they stand.
There are plenty of other games spread throughout the weekend (including Marquette and DePaul playing in consolation games tonight), but these are all the tournament games to be played out.
I'll be back on Monday with the first installment of the Big East power rankings, and will likely send a tweet here and there in the meantime.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
