According to a report from Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports and College Hoops Today, the 2023 Gavitt Games matchups have been set.
Last year, the Big 10 dominated the Gavitt Games winning six of eight meetings. The Big 10 has won each of the last three Gavitt Games dating back to 2019, winning a total of 17 of 24 matchups.
The Gavitt Tipoff Games are an eight-game series between the Big Ten and Big East conferences similar to the former Big Ten/ACC challenge and is named after former Big East commissioner Dave Gavitt. They were first held for the 2015 season which the two conferences split each of the first three Gavitt Games.
Since 2018, however, it has been heavily dominated by the Big Ten. The Big Ten has won 5-3, 5-3, 6-2, and 6-2 in each of the last four. The 2020 Gavitt Games were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the 2022 Gavitt Games, DePaul and St. John’s were the only Big East team to pick up victories while Penn State, Northwestern, Purdue, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan State all walked away with victories.
DePaul, St. John’s, and Indiana have had the most success in the Gavitt Games winning four games a piece. Additionally, UConn has yet to appear in the games since rejoining the Big East in 2020. They are not scheduled to appear in this year’s matchups.
No dates have yet to be scheduled for this year’s Gavitt Games and there is no expected announcement date at this time either according to Rothstein. Traditionally, the games are held in the second or third week of November.
