NEW YORK – The BIG EAST and Big Ten Conferences have announced the matchups for the sixth annual Gavitt Tipoff Games, with eight men’s basketball contests set for Nov. 15-18, 2021. Game times and television network assignments will be announced at a later date. All games will be televised on FS1 or BTN.
The BIG EAST and Big Ten Conferences mutually agreed to cancel last year’s series after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of the 2020-21 NCAA basketball season and presented scheduling and timing issues.
The Gavitt Tipoff Games is a unique early-season series played between the two conferences and named in honor of Hall of Famer Dave Gavitt, founder of the BIG EAST and basketball visionary.
