FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEN ISLAND, NY — Legacy Wise Experiences, the travel and events arm of Legacy Wise Advisors, has opened preregistration for the region’s college basketball season, inviting Staten Island and NY-metro fans to register interest in hosted motorcoach trips to the area’s biggest games and conference tournaments — with dates finalized based on demand.
Fans who register name the events and teams they want, and the dates with the strongest demand will be built as hosted motorcoach departures. No departure is promised at preregistration, and no payment is taken at this stage.
The interest list covers tournament season in March 2027 and the marquee games leading up to it:
- Big East Tournament — Madison Square Garden, March 10–13, 2027, including the semifinals on Friday, March 12 and the championship on Saturday, March 13
- Atlantic 10 Championship — Barclays Center, Brooklyn, March 10–14, 2027, concluding with the final on Sunday, March 14
- Metro Conference Championships — Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, March 4–9, 2027, for the league formerly known as the MAAC
- Ivy Madness — The Palestra, Philadelphia, March 12–14, 2027
- Big East Women’s Tournament — Mohegan Sun, March 5–8, 2027
The list also covers featured regular-season and showcase dates, including the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, December 8, 2026 (Alabama vs. Houston and Georgia vs. Duke); Seton Hall vs. UConn at the Prudential Center on Saturday, January 9, 2027; the Coretta Scott King Classic women’s doubleheader at the Prudential Center on Monday, January 18, 2027 (UConn vs. Seton Hall); and St. John’s vs. UConn at Madison Square Garden on Friday, January 29, 2027.
“College basketball in March is a New York tradition, and Staten Island fans shouldn’t have to figure out the trains, the parking, and the tickets on their own,” said Michael J. Fusco, founder of Legacy Wise Advisors. “So we’re doing it the way we build everything — we ask fans first. Register for the games and tournaments you actually want, and we’ll build the trips where the demand is strongest.”
Registration is open now at https://form.jotform.com/262654004666054 and at legacywiseenterprises.com/college-basketball.html. Fans, alumni groups, clubs, and families can also register or ask questions by phone at (929) 515-5159. Legacy Wise Experiences also builds private group outings for companies, organizations, and families.
