Kind'va funny every Big East school is on the World Wide Leader today.

FS1 does have a busy line-up. Two soccer games, Las Vegas Classic Indiana State-Illinois at 4pm, #5 TCU at Texas in football at 6:30pm and Memphis-Baylor in the other Las Vegas Classic game at 11pm. Bill Raftery is working those hoops games, so some might want ONIONS! with your Turkey.

Another good set of games, I think GT will struggle with Bucky, but other than that I think the others have a shot. I'll guess at the end of the day the Big East goes 2-2 in these games.

I figure 1-3 with Xavier getting the win. UW will beat GTown by double digits, Butler won't be able to get by OU, and GTECH has too much height/athleticism up front for MU. I hope we keep it under 10.

FS1 needs to get the contract for some of the big holiday tournaments.

Agreed. ESPN has the big tourneys, Atlantis, Orlando, Maui, and the NIT all locked up. I wonder how influential they were in creating these tournaments, may be difficult to pry those rights away. If they can't, it might be worth trying to start a few of their own. I'm sure there's no shortage of willing venues and with contractual connections to the Big East, Big 12, and Pac-12 there's at least a decent base of quality teams to start with.

CBS computer model picks MU to win.......not sure how.....lol

G-Town looks big and good. Will be a very difficult matchup for our young Warriors.

Nice to see Aaron Bowen playing well for GT...

I agree. They only picked up one Las Vegas Invitational.

Battle 4 Atlantis was on NBCSN.

CBSSN has about 4. Paradise Jam, Cancun, Great Alaska Shootout and a new one in Florida.
