NCAA Basketball: Previewing the 2017 PK80 Motion Bracket

The PK80 Tournament is going to be one of the best early-season events in NCAA basketball this season. Which teams reside in the Motion Bracket?

The PK80 Tournament is a 16-team tournament with two separate brackets that will take place over Thanksgiving weekend. Presented by State Farm, the competition is taking place in honor of Nike Co-Founder Phil Knight’s 80th birthday. The tournament will take place in Portland and brings some of the top college basketball programs in the country together.

With the field that the tournament has put together, it is hard to argue against the PK80 being one of the best early-season tournaments for the 2017-18 season. There are multiple top-25 teams and several others that will compete for NCAA Tournament bids. With all of these games occurring within the span of four days, the PK80 Tournament will be extremely fun and entertaining.
