Secret scrimmages, exhibition games, individual tidbits of news…

College basketball pre-season is in full swing now. Media days and tipoffs…fall practices (…we talkin’ ’bout “practice”.) have begun, and early ‘secret scrimmages’, and exhibition games are upon us! Outstanding.

Over on Reddit there is a dedicated page to scrimmages that get leaked. Here, we will only concern ourselves with Big East scrimmages and exhibitions. I will add to/update this posting as news surfaces in regards to Big East teams. Will update with X posts to inform of new happenings.
