You can call it the Portsmouth Invitational Pairing Party. Monday the week of the event, the team sponsors are matched up with their team of 8 players. It's a great way to kick off the week.
The games start Wednesday night and run through Saturday night at Churchland High School.
It's the 66th edition of the P.I.T. with the usual 64 of the best college senior basketball stars in the nation.
They're expecting 300 scouts from the NBA, Europe and Asia.
Back when players stayed in college for four years and there was fewer all-star games, the P.I.T. was in its heyday. There has been a resurgence lately. Last year 6 players from the tournament got drafted in the NBA and one of them went in the first round.
Tournament director Mahlon Parker says this is the best group of players in the last 20 years.
