What is the College Basketball Crown?​

The inaugural tournament is a 16-team bracket held March 31-April 6 in Las Vegas and positioned as a competitor to the long-running National Invitation Tournament. The tournament, created by Fox Sports and AEG, includes the top two non-NCAA Tournament teams from the Big Ten, Big 12 and Big East; those leagues have TV deals with Fox. The rest of the field is selected at-large. The first two rounds are at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, while the semifinals and championship are at T-Mobile Arena.
