It is free to register to set up an account, but then they charge a separate charge for each event you watch.

I'm planning on going. Is anyone else making the trip?

I am guessing the Jack Jones they are referring to was a singer of contemporary music plus Jazz winning several Grammy awards. He just recently died in October

That's may be, but nowhere was I able to find any reports that verify he is the Jack Jones this basketball event was named for. Although he was a good entertainer (Link), I don't see why they would name a basketball event after him. He did perform occasionally in Las Vegas, but so have thousands of other entertainers. But, there are no reports that he ever lived in the Las Vegas area (he was a life-long Californian), nor are there any connections he was reported to have had with college basketball.
And, you are right, the singer Jack Jones just died on October 23, 2024. But the Jack Jones Classic was played last season in December, 2023 (Drake played in the 2023 Jack Jones Classic), and the "Jack Jones Hoopfest" was played in 2022 at the Mandalay Bay Arena - https://www.facebook.com/MGMLive/pho...510877/?type=3

There was also an event called the Jack Jones Shootout played in 2021

There was also an event named the "Jack Jones Shootout" played in April, 2021, but I don't think that is connected to these other events. It doesn't appear to be a college basketball event, and it was played at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. - https://www.facebook.com/hoopcitybc/...458450/

I signed up for ballertv. They gave me a text code for 10 percent off but charged me 19.99. lol. Yahoo app says “BALL” as the tv. Don’t think it will be anywhere else.

Has anyone heard that any of the bars in Peoria will carry the game tomorrow? The Olympia carried all the Bradley games last season. You would sure think some of the restaurants would pay the $20 to carry the game and make it back on drinks and food.

[Da Coach]

The $19.99 option was for a single device by an individual user. I suspect a commercial establishment like a bar would probably have to pay a bigger fee to have the game streamed to their business.
And I don't know of any place that is carrying the game.

MD's is going to have the game on.

[molar50]

Ok, what is MD’s ?

I’m in Chicago on the NW side. All are welcome.

[houstonbrave]

Santa Clara is currently a 3.5 point favorite. The second game has Colorado State vs VCU with Bowen Born formerly of UNI playing for Colorado State.
