SALT LAKE CITY – Big 12 basketball has an opportunity to establish as the best conference again during the popular “Feast Week.”
During the Thanksgiving holiday, basketball fans get to “feast” on excellent matchups in neutral court events.
Over half of the Big 12’s sixteen teams are participating in Multi-Team Events (MTEs) this week. At this point in the non-conference schedule, we gauge a team’s strength this season.
This week, the Big 12 has teams in the Maui Invitational, Battle 4 Atlantis, Rady Children’s Invitational, and other MTE events.
