Gavitt Tipoff Games

The Gavitt Tipoff Games is an annual eight-game series played between the Big Ten Conference and the Big East Conference to tip-off the college basketball season. The Gavitt Tipoff Games began in 2015 and will be played annually until 2022 as part of an eight-year deal. The Gavitt Tipoff Games are played at the home sites at the participating schools, with four hosted by Big Ten schools and four hosted by Big East schools. Each Big East team will participate a minimum of six times, while each Big Ten program will take part a minimum of four times.[1] Michigan State, the only team from either conference to not participate in the series through 2018, participated in the 2019 event.[2]

Each game played at a Big East campus will be televised by FS1 and each game played on a Big Ten campus will be televised by FS1 or the Big Ten Network.

The series is named in honor of the late Dave Gavitt, former athletic director at Providence College and the first commissioner of the Big East Conference.
