Just not the men’s team. The Maggie Dixon Classic, for those of you who didn’t catch the AP stories, will be a women’s tournament that is played annually at Madison Square Garden.
“The Garden approached us last year, but we felt that the first one should be at West Point,” Pitt men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon said. “The next one should be at Madison Square Garden since that’s where all of basketball starts.”
The second annual Maggie Dixon Classic will be played Dec. 8 at the Garden with a women’s basketball doubleheader featuring Rutgers, Duke, Pitt and Army. It is the first women’s doubleheader there since 1981, when Rutgers, Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion and Cheyney State took part.
Glad to see the women’s team is at least participating.
