(NewYork.CityRegions.Com, October 17, 2012 ) New York, NY – The 18th annual 2K Sports Classic is coming up, and VeryCheapSeats.com has finally announced tickets for the championship events to be held at the Madison Square Garden. The first of the two events will be the Semifinal Doubleheader, which will be held on November 15 at 7:00 PM, while the final event – the Championship Doubleheader – will be held on November 16 and will begin at 4:30 PM.
The 2012 2K Sports Classic events will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and will see Villanova, Purdue, Alabama, and Oregon State serve as hosts of the games during the Regional Round. These games will be played on November 9 and 11 before the hosts will head straight to the newly renovated Madison Square Garden.
The four hosts will also be joined by Bucknell, Marshall, Hofstra, New Mexico State, South Dakota State, Niagara, Northern New Mexico, West Alabama, and UDC. Six games will be aired on ESPN, including four games during the Championship Round at the Madison Square Garden as well as the semifinal doubleheader games and the South Dakota-Alabama game on the 9th of November and the New Mexico State-Oregon State game on November 11.
The bracket and the regional hosts set were both revealed earlier this year in preparation for the event this coming November.
The 2K Sports Classic annual college basketball tournament is formerly known as the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. It is played every year in November at the start of the season and has always been televised by ESPN. The first of this tournament was held in 1995 at the Atlantic City Convention Center as a result of a collaboration between the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the American Cancer Society. The original event consisted of only four teams who played in two separate games; there was also no championship game. Now, the format of the event has changed a lot and has become even more exciting especially for fans of college basketball. What does not change, however, is the event’s objective, which is to raise funds for cancer research.
The venue for the Championship Round – the Madison Square Garden – has just undergone Phase II of its three-year renovations. The renovations were started right after the end of the 2011-2012 sports seasons. The large-scale renovation is expected to make events at the famed New York venue an even more exciting and memorable experience as the seats have been elevated by as much as 17 degrees. The changes will bring the adoring crowd around 10 feet closer to the action.
Madison Square Garden tickets for the 2K Sports Classic and other upcoming basketball games, including NBA 2012-2013 games, are now available at VeryCheapSeats.com.
