Games will be played at the 16,000-seat MGM Grand Garden Arena, which is attached to the MGM Grand hotel and formerly hosted the Pac-12 basketball tournament
SDSU’s Reese Waters practices for a Sweet 16 game against UConn at the TD Garden in Boston last March. We already knew the teams. Now comes word of dates, times, television partners and a venue for the NIL-based Players Era Festival college basketball event in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving week.
“We haven’t decided what we’re going to do,” SDSU coach Brian Dutcher said. “We have some things to look at, depending on what our commitment is to the tournament itself, whether we have obligations beyond the games.”“In addition to an innovative format designed to invigorate early season tournament competition before the start of conference play,” the event’s website says, “there will also be live music, financial education programs, and multiple on-call NIL opportunities for players.
“Even if the MTE is structured in such a way in which two teams from the same conference will not play each other,” the NCAA memo said, “two teams from the same conference may not participate in the same MTE.” “Every game is going to be a challenge, we know that,” Dutcher said. “These are all really good teams. It’s what we need, being in the Mountain West. We need to play teams like this to give ourselves a chance to build a resume. I want to win every game, but if we lose one, it’s not going to be an end-of-the-world type of loss.”
