2019 Gavitt Tipoff Games Schedule, Betting Odds & More (Updated)

The first three times (’15-’17) the Big East and Big Ten competed in the Gavitt Tipoff Games, named after original Big East commissioner Dave Gavitt, the two conferences tied with four wins apiece. Last year, someone actually won, and that was the Big Ten, taking five of the eight Gavitt Tipoff matchups. In 2019, they’re back for the fifth time, with the event starting on Monday, November 11th.
