The Wells Fargo Advisors Shootout won't limit itself to just one day in its first year.
The boys' basketball version of 'Rivalry Saturday' – an all-day girls' basketball event in Cedar Rapids that has been around for 13 years – has added a second Saturday of games.
In addition to the previously announced seven-game lineup set for Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018 at the U.S. Cellular Center, another six games will take place Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018.

This won't conflict with Rivalry Saturday, as that has been moved to Nov. 25, 2017 at Coe College's new arena.
Two-time defending Class 3A champion Cedar Rapids Xavier will play both weekends, first against Perry, then Solon.
Our 2nd Event has been finalized! Some great teams from across Iowa will be competing on January 13th, 2018 at US Cellular Center.May 26, 2017
