Villanova vs. Michigan
Illinois vs. Georgetown
Xavier vs. Wisconsin
Rutgers vs St John's
Penn State vs. DePaul
Marquette vs. Indiana
Creighton vs. Ohio State
Seton Hall vs. Nebraska

Rematch of the title game is nice but both teams will look dramatically different. Nothing else really stands out. Creighton and Ohio State lose significant pieces. As does Xavier. Marquette vs Indiana is certainly intriguing. That could end up being the most important game of the Gavitt Games. Both could be tournament teams, so it would be an opportunity to pick up a Q1 win. Also Michigan State has yet to participate in the Gavitt Games, meaning they'll be contractually obligated to play in the next 4.

Not a great slate. Both leagues will also be down.

Providence and Butler are out and they may be the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the Big East, and Sparty punks out as usual.

I agree Marquette Indiana will be the most interesting game. I also feel like Nebraska is in this thing every year.

Nova is also playing Kansas next year. Strange scheduling.

Doesn't help that MSU and MD aren't playing either. Those are probably the two best teams in the B1G next season. And Purdue isn't either and they should be a tournament team. Not the best slate of games for sure. Not sure why MSU hasn't played a game in this series yet? Doesn't make any sense.

Of course. Now we get IU. Wanted them when the tanned one was still there.

Indiana is good at home. But will be nice to get them early. Hopefully Langford isn’t a freak immediately

Interested to see how Wisconsin and Georgetown play tonight. Wisconsin should probably win this game.

Xavier is fucking brutal

Wisco playing like Wisco. Sound and patient. And now it’s getting ugly.

X can’t figure out the simple offense of Happ or Trice that Wisco is running lol

Wisconsin plays X

But yeah they should win

Yeah I probably should have phrased it better. I want to see how g-town plays in general against Illinois.

Xavier might be the 2nd worst team in the league.

Wisconsin is good. One of my sleeper teams.

They return basically their whole team from last year which supposed to be pretty good.

Didn't see the game tho.

Wisco had 3 guys score 71/77 pts and 2 of the 6 they didn’t score were garbage time free throws

X simply sucked

Wisco has potential to be a quality team tho. But I’d be surprised if they were really good

Yeah X looks bad thus far. I think Wisconsin will end up being a top 40ish team. Somewhere in the 8/9 range.
