2015 Pre-Conference Tournament

[TT13]

I may have missed it but has it been announced which pre-conference tournament Marquette will play in next year?

Here's what I found for other Big East teams -

Wooden Legacy - Providence
Puerto Rico - Butler
Maui - St. John's
Orlando Classic - Xavier
Charleston Classic - Seton Hall

[🏀]

I believe they are headed to Italy, and I thought it was one or the other.

That will be a preseason trip if it occurs, not taking the place of the Thanksgiving week tournament that Marquette will play in.

They have that same list for the 2015-16 preseason tournaments, and most of the participants are named "tbd". http://www.bloggingthebracket.com/2013/12/2/5166356/2015-16-college-basketball-early-season-tournaments-events-MTE

Don't see MU listed yet.

I'm guessing we will find out in the next week or so. I think it's time for the Battle 4 Atlantis for MU. UConn, Gonzaga, Cuse so far in that one next year.

I remember Buzz talking about one of many of those tournaments in the Barclays Center.

Well if we can't make the NIT, at least we might make the Pre-Season NIT.

Expect the Legends Classic or Coaches vs. Cancer
Arizona State is already one of 3 teams in the Legends Classic

2K Field is set with the Dukies and Bucky out there. Tourney will be around same time as Marquettes, so its possible some Dukies might come out to our games.
NIT is out with Villanova already headed there.

but can a school do both in the same season?

Yes. Foreign exempt tours and regular season exempt tourneys have no relationship.

2015 - Nov 23/24 in NYC
2016 - NYC
2017 - Maui

Per Joe True.

Per Mike Broeker, we will be in the Legends Classic in 2015 and the 2K Classic in 2016, both in NYC. Both of these events play over 2 days, but also schedule 2 home dates for each of the high-major teams. One drawback to Orlando this year is that we were effectively shorted a home game because they didn't arrange an exempt game for us. That shouldn't be an issue with these two tournaments.

The year after that, per Matt Velazquez, we're back in Maui. No word on the rest of the field for any of these tournaments yet.

According to Wikipedia, the four schools in the Brooklyn bracket for the 2015 Legends are Cinci, Geo Wash, Nebraska and Tennessee. Of course, Wikipedia isn't always the most accurate info out there ...

I saw that as well, but think that is actually a different tournament. This is one of the difficulties with all these non-conference tournaments.

The one you are referencing is the Barclay's Center Classic, which started last night and features Virginia, La Salle, Rutgers, and Vanderbilt. The one we will be in is the Progressive Legends Classic at Barclay's Center, which this year featured Villanova, Michigan, VCU, and Oregon.
