From: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/22855571/loaded-doubleheader-to-take-place-in-las-vegas-in-december

"A doubleheader involving Oklahoma State, Colorado, Marquette and New Mexico is set to be announced Wednesday at a press conference.

The event will take place Dec. 21 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, according to sources. The matchups are Marquette vs. New Mexico and Oklahoma State vs. Colorado.

What makes this interesting is that all four teams could be in the preseason top 25, with each of them in contention for a conference title. Marquette and New Mexico are the potential league favorites in the Big East and Mountain West, respectively. Oklahoma State is poised to be a preseason top-10 team, and Colorado brings back four players who started at least 18 games."

I know that this isn't news but I like the billing.

Very excited about this as I just moved to San Diego.  Does anyone know the setup of this?  Are they going to play two games over the weekend?

I was at the MGM Grand Garden box office when tickets went on sale at 10:00am this morning.  Got two aisle seats (only four seats in this row) at half court on the first concourse level for my wife and me.  We're looking forward to watching the Warriors in person!  Still working on the logistics for Arizona and California trips!

It CAN get cold. But you're indoors anyways!
