Syracuse, North Carolina, California and Ohio State will tip-off next season in the 2009 Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at Madison Square Garden. Championship Round tickets will be on sale tomorrow at noon.
The tournament will include a 12-team field with games at four regional sites (Syracuse, North Carolina, California and Ohio State) Nov. 9-13. Championship Round games will be played on Nov. 19 & 20.
Interestingly, there will be a new format.
The four regional hosts will play two games at home and then automatically advance to the Championship Rounds in Manhattan, regardless of the regional results. All other participants will automatically advance to play a round-robin series at one of two other sub-regional sites. Thus, every participating team will be guaranteed four games.
The four schools playing in the Garden have combined for seven NCAA Basketball Championships and 109 trips to the NCAA Tournament. And their head coaches have combined for more than 2,100 career wins to date.
