"We've been fortunate to play in some incredible preseason events, but we've never been a part of something this amazing - both in terms of quantity and quality of the teams," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "This is sure to be an incredible experience for all the student-athletes."

Nike schools commit to event

"Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis may have pulled off his greatest scheduling coup.  Hollis told ESPN.com on Thursday that he has secured commitments from 16 schools to participate in a two-tournament men's basketball event in honor of Nike co-founder Phil Knight's 80th birthday."

I bet Portland is beautiful in November.

I hope they build an underground bunker and play it there.
