2023 Field Summary - Continental Tire Main Event, Las Vegas NV
San Diego State, Washington, and Xavier will headline the 2023 Continental Main Event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, multiple sources told Bracketeer.Org.
The fourth team in the event is currently TBD.
The event's official dates are November 17th (Semifinal Round) and November 19th (3rd Place Game/Championship Game).
Minnesota will not be playing in the Continental Tire Main Event in Las Vegas next season as initially anticipated. Xavier was slated to play in an event in Savannah, GA - but that will no longer happen, per sources.
San Diego State is coming off a memorable run to the National Championship game this past season and the Aztecs return Final Four hero Lamont Butler, Darrion Trammell, Micah Parrish, and have added Reese Dixon-Waters (via USC) in the Portal.
Washington is going all-in on offensive weapons as they have added volume scorers with Sahvir Wheeler and Moses Wood out of the portal, and a tough-as-nails glue guy in Anthony Holland. Braxton Meah is one of the most improved big men in the conference and is ready for a breakout season. The ultra-talented Keion Brooks also returns for the Huskies.
Xavier returns impact pieces with Zach Freemantle, Jerome Hunter, and Desmond Claude. Sean Miller went fishing into Conference USA’s section of the transfer portal to bring in Dayvion McKnight (via Western Kentucky), Quincy Olivari (via Rice), and Abou Ousmane (via North Texas) to assemble a veteran and dynamic roster to date.
