Article is about a future first-time sporting event. Event has not yet occurred. Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. Article can be recreated if occurs and if it demonstrates itself to be an notable event. Dolovis (talk) 17:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wikipedia may not be a crystal ball, but it can report upcoming, anticipated events, and if this does happen then it will definitely meet the criteria of notability. The event is being sponsored by the NCAA, so it can be expected to occur. There should be improved sourcing of the hype this event is generating, but that is a sourcing issue and not a notability or crystal ball issue. --AerobicFox (talk) 23:02, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above comments. Would also like to add that these are four of the most premier men's college basketball programs in the country annually, and this event is guaranteed to garner tons of press coverage. Jrcla2 (talk) 16:42, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
