2010 Field of Dreams? Three schools have been crowned “76 Classic champs.” The eight teams in the 2010 76 Classic field—headlined by 2009 NCAA Tournament participants Cal State Northridge and Oklahoma State—have designs on becoming the fourth to claim that title, including UNLV and coach Lon Kruger. The countdown to this three-day, Thanksgiving weekend early season tournament prepares for liftoff. MORE

2009 Participant Butler Reaches Big Dance The Bulldogs’ improbable run to the NCAA Championship game started last November at the 76 Classic—with games against Minnesota, UCLA and Clemson, writes Seattle Times columnist Bud Withers. The next time you see a story about an early season basketball tournament, remember what Butler did in 2009.

Previous 76 Classic Champions Entering it's fourth year, the 76 Classic has had some great finishes. Previous champions include 2009 Final Four team West Virginia, Wake Forest in 2008 and USC who took home the inaugural title in 2007.

76 Classic

Murray State, Oklahoma State, UNLV Play Role of Headliners in 2010 Field

Coach Travis Ford Butler’s historic run to the NCAA Championship game had an auspicious beginning in Anaheim, Calif., last November, when the Bulldogs were part of the 2009 field. The eight teams participating this year—five of which saw postseason action last season—will look to model their season’s start to that of the Bulldogs’ historic Thanksgiving weekend run at the Anaheim Convention Center. Cal State Northridge, DePaul, Murray State, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Tulsa, UNLV and Virginia Tech complete the eight-team field for the fourth annual 76 Classic, which will feature four games each day through three days, Nov. 25, 26 and 28. The event will have a tournament feel for 2010 NCAA Tournament participants Murray State, Oklahoma State and UNLV, whose aggregate record last season was an impressive 78-25. MORE
