5/15/2018 3:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The Indiana University men's basketball team will host Marquette in the 2018 Gavitt Tipoff Games on November 14 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The matchup is part of an eight-game series between members of the Big Ten and Big East Conference. This is the third time IU will participate in the event. The Hoosiers defeated Creighton in 2015 and fell at Seton Hall last season. IU was 16-15 last season, while Marquette finished 21-14.
This will be the 10th meeting between IU and Marquette, with IU holding a 7-2 advantage in the series. The teams last met in the 2001 Championship game of the Great Alaska Shootout with Marquette taking a 50-49 decision. The teams last played in Bloomington in the 1985 NIT with IU capturing a double overtime win in the tournament quarterfinals. The schools also met in the Elite Eight in 1976 with IU capturing the Mideast Regional title with a 65-56 win. The squads also have played in Bloomington in 1932 and 1949.
The Gavitt Tipoff Games is named in honor of Hall of Famer Dave Gavitt, founder of the BIG EAST and basketball visionary.
Scheduled through 2022, the Gavitt Tipoff Games will be played on consecutive days in the first full week of the college basketball season.
Each BIG EAST team will participate a minimum of six times, while Big Ten programs will take part a minimum of four times. Teams from both conferences already meet in some traditional rivalry games, and those matchups will continue in the upcoming seasons.
