- 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
all four of the Championship Round games at Madison Square Garden
in NYC.

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???
- In two short years, the BlackRock Gotham Classic has been an
unqualified success. The tournament has featured four of the
winningest programs in the history of college basketball, with
Syracuse and Temple meeting in the inaugural event, and Notre Dame
and Ohio State squaring off in the 2013 Classic.
- ESPN Networks televised four games of the BlackRock Gotham
Classic in 2013. The Showcase Round game at Madison Square Garden
between No. 2 Ohio State and Notre Dame was broadcast on ESPN2.
ESPNU aired a pair of games from Notre Dame (Bryant and North
Dakota State), and ESPN3 showed the Notre Dame-Delaware contest. In
addition, the Big Ten Network televised all three Ohio State home
games to a national audience. Locally, the North Dakota
State-Delaware game was televised throughout the state of North
Dakota on MeTV. In all, eight of the 10 games were broadcast on
television.
- For the Showcase Game between Ohio State and Notre Dame, the
ESPN broadcast team consisted of lead college basketball
play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman, color analyst Dan Dakich, and
sideline reporter Jeff Goodman. The game drew a 1.06 rating,
significantly higher than the average rating for college basketball
on ESPN2.
- The Showcase Game of the BlackRock Gotham Classic drew 10,138
fans to Madison Square Garden. In all, over 80,000 fans attended
the event in 2013.
