- All four games of the Championship Rounds at Madison Square
Garden were nationally televised on ESPN Networks. Both semifi nal
games as well as the championship game aired on ESPN2 while the
consolation game was shown on ESPNU. Additionally, two Regional
Round games aired on ESPNU and two were shown on ESPN3. The Big Ten
Network and Pac-12 Network each televised two games nationally,
meaning all 12 regional round and championship round games were
available on a national basis.
- Since 2009, the average rating on ESPN2 of the 2K Sports
Classic is .50, well above the average of .30 for college
basketball on ESPN2.
- John Saunders and Fran Fraschilla served as ESPNs broadcast
team for the Championship Round games at Madison Square Garden.
- The 2K Sports Classic was again one of the most highly
attended early-season college basketball events in the country,
attracting over 101,000 fans over the course of the tournament. The
Championship Round games at Madison Square Garden drew an average
of over 10,000 fans.
- The 2013 2K Sports Classic was the second in which Wounded
Warrior Project served as the events benefi ciary. Nearly 200
wounded warriors attended the event, many of whom were honored
prior to games or served as honorary team captains.
- The Event has featured three eventual national champions --
Florida (2006), Syracuse (2003), and Maryland (2002). The Event has
also had four additional NCAA Final Four teams -- Memphis (2008),
George Mason (2006), Marquette (2003), and Texas (2003). Since
1995, 59 teams that participated in the 2K Sports Classic went on
to compete in the NCAA Tournament that March.
- In addition to Madison Square Garden, the Event has been held
at some of the fi nest home courts in the country, including
Alabama, Arizona, Boston College, California, Connecticut, Duke,
Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Memphis, Michigan, Michigan
State, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma,
Oregon State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, St. Johns, Syracuse, Texas, Texas
A&M, UCLA, Villanova, Wake Forest, and Washington.
Fran Franschilla and John Saunders were the broadcast team for

THE GARDENOn so many nights across its 125 year history, the
Garden has been THE place to be. Today, Madison Square Garden
extends its greatness onto busy Seventh Avenue between 31st and
33rd Streets in Manhattan. The first Garden opened on Fifth Avenue
in 1879 and has since changed locations and revolutionized into the
19,763-seat arena at its current location. The Garden is no
stranger to college basketball, hosting the very first major
postseason tournament, the National Invitational Tournament, in
1938. Well known across the globe, the Garden is more than an
arena. Nearly five million fans pass through the Gardens turnstiles
every year, taking in such familiar staples as the New York Knicks,
Rangers and Liberty, concerts, world championship boxing, and of
course, college basketball.
Its known simply as The Garden, a perfect appellation for a
place where legends grow. To millions, those two words mean just
one thing: Madison Square Garden, billed in typical New York hype
as
THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS ARENA.
It doesnt matter if its Michael Jordan, or Muhammad Ali, or
Sinatra, or the Pope... They know the stage is brighter here than
anyplace else!
Whether sitting in the locker room or waiting in the wings,
athletes and artists view the Garden as the pinnacle: the best
venue in the biggest city before the brightest audiences.
The Garden is more than a building. The history is so rich, and
people want to be a part of that history.

DID YOU KNOW???
- All four games of the Championship Rounds of the 2013
Progressive Legends Classic at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn,
N.Y., were nationally televised on ESPNs networks. Both semifinal
round games aired on ESPN2, while the championship game was
televised on ESPNU and the consolation game was shown on ESPN3.
Additionally, two Regional Round games were televised on ESPNU and
three were shown on ESPN3. The Pac-12 Network televised two games
nationally and Fox Sports Southwest broadcast one game, meaning 11
of the 12 regional round and championship round games were
available on a national basis, and one was shown regionally.
- 2013 marked the second year that the Progressive Legends
Classic was played at the two-year-old Barclays Center, acclaimed
as one of the finest sports and entertainment facilities in the
country.
- In the first six years of its existence, the Legends Classic
has featured eight teams that went on to advance to at least the
Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, most recently Indiana in 2013.
Additionally, Texas (2008) and Pittsburgh (2009) advanced to the
Elite Eight and Michigan State (2010) played in the Final Four.
- In addition to Barclays Center, the Progressive Legends
Classic has been held at some of the finest home courts in the
country, including Florida, Georgetown, Georgia, Georgia Tech,
Houston, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Michigan State,
Mississippi State, New Mexico State, N.C. State, Oregon State,
Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennes-see, Texas, Texas
Tech, UTEP, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Washington State, and West
Virginia.
- One of the benefits of the Progressive Legends Classic is the

basketball. Among those who have been honored as part of the
