Big 5 Classic

The tournament begins in November with pod play and concludes on the first weekend in December with triple-headers for the men's and women's competitions.This included the creation of the concluding triple-header, the Big 5 Classic, and the addition of Drexel University to the series.The motivation behind this change was to "resuscitate" the Big 5, as the series had experienced declining attendance figures in the preceding years.After pod play, the series moves to the Wells Fargo Center for the Big 5 Classic, a single-day, triple-header event with three games, held on the first Saturday in December.Tiebreaker rules for pod placement are currently unknown,[2][3] but a local media source speculated that NET rankings, which are not public in late November, would be used if necessary.
