ECAC/MSG Holiday Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ECAC and, later, MSG Holiday Festival, held at Madison Square Garden, was a college basketball event held each year during the nonconference portion of the season. It is one of the earliest events of its kind.
In its later years, the Festival used a showcase format with no championship awarded.
