Hall of Fame Classic (basketball tournament)
The Hall of Fame Classic (formerly known as the Guardians Classic, CBE Classic, and CBE Hall of Fame Classic) created by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) is an annual season-opening college basketball tournament founded in 2001. The tournament is currently held in mid-November at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, which also contains the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Before the 2007 tournament, the final rounds were held at Municipal Auditorium, except for one year at Kemper Arena in 2001.
