Marquette To Face Illinois In 2021 Gavitt Tipoff Games

Hey, remember the Gavitt Tipoff Games?

It was the yearly eight game series between the Big East and the Big Ten in men’s basketball. The two leagues agreed to skip the series a year ago to simplify non-conference scheduling on both sides due to the pandemic and also because the season started by NCAA rule after the games would have been scheduled to be played.

But it’s BACK, baby, and YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles have drawn Illinois in this year’s event.

Television arrangements will be officially announced at a later date, but Marquette will host the Illini at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Monday, November 15, 2021.
