If you would’ve told Dave Gavitt before his death that Creighton and Wisconsin would’ve been playing in an early season non conference pseudo-tournament named in his honor he probably would’ve shrugged his shoulders. If you went a bit further and mentioned how Creighton was in the BIG EAST and that the so called ‘Gavitt Games’ pitted his upstart conference’s teams against the Big Ten’s, I imagine he probably would’ve smiled warmly and nodded his head. Although, I can also imagine Dave Gavitt riding a triceratops through the St. Louis Arch so take it for what it’s worth.
