Ranking the top 15 early-season college basketball tournaments and multi-team events in 2021--CBS Sports
5. Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis
- Date: Nov. 24-26
- Location: Paradise island, Bahamas
- Matchups: No. 24 Michigan State vs. Loyola Chicago, No. 22 Auburn vs. No. 23 UConn, Syracuse vs. VCU, Baylor vs. Arizona State (bracket play)
- Comments: All eight of these teams are featured in the top-85 of Matt Norlander's 1-358 rankings, and several of them have re-tooled rosters that will be put to the test in a three-day marathon. How will Auburn's front court look with potential stars Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler? What about Baylor, as the defending national champions replace three star guards? We'll have a much better idea of who these teams are once this event is over.
6. ESPN Events Invitational
- Date: Nov. 25-26, 28
- Location: ESPN Wide World of Sports in Lake Buena Vista, Florida
- Matchups: Dayton vs. Miami, North Texas vs. No. 4 Kansas, No. 12 Alabama vs. Iona, Belmont vs. Drake (bracket play)
- Comments: At first glance, this one looks a bit top heavy with Alabama and Kansas. But a closer look shows this is sneaky strong field. Drake, Iona and North Texas made the NCAA Tournament last season, Dayton and Belmont are perennially strong and Miami could be in line for a bounce-back year after an injury-riddled 2020-21 season. So while the Crimson Tide or Kansas will be expected to win it, there could be some drama here.
