Six schools will be separated into three-team pods:

Pod 1
Drexel, Penn, and Saint Joseph’s

Pod 2 
La Salle, Temple, and Villanova

Each team will play the other two teams from their pod at their individual on-campus arenas.

All teams will participate in the Toyota Men's Big 5 Classic tripleheader at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday, December 5. The first seed in each pod will compete for the Big 5 championship, the second-place teams in each pod compete for third place, and the third seeds compete for fifth place.
