PC to compete in Anaheim Basketball Classic over Thanksgiving weekend

Providence College is one of eight schools that will participate in the Anaheim Classic, a college basketball tournament played over Thanksgiving weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center adjacent to Disneyland. The games will be played on Nov. 27, 28 and 30.

Tournament pairings and game times will be announced at a later date. The complete tournament will air live on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.

Three of the eight schools earned berths in the 2008 NCAA Tournament -- Baylor of the Big 12, Cal State Fullerton of the Big West and St. Mary’s of the West Coast Conference. Two others -- Arizona State of the Pac-10 and Charlotte of the Atlantic 10 -- participated in the National Invitation Tournament. UTEP, of Conference USA, participated in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational (CBI).

Completing the field, in addition to PC, is Wake Forest of the ACC.

The Anaheim Classic features four games each day, with the two undefeated teams competing in the championship game on ESPN2 on Nov. 30.
