Last week, ESPN's Andy Katz broke the news on a four-team men's basketball event featuring Ohio State, UCLA, North Carolina and Kentucky. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
Today, at Big Ten media day, Thad Matta confirmed the report, saying the event will begin next season.
In other news, Matta confirmed at #B1GMediaDay ESPN report of OSU-Ky-UNC-UCLA three-year tournament agreement starting in '14. #buckbk
