The Basketball Classic
American college basketball tournament
The Basketball Classic presented by Eracism was[2] a single-elimination, fully-bracketed men's college basketball postseason tournament created in 2022 as a successor to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament after its scheduled 2020 and 2021 tournaments were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament featured up to 32 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I teams not selected to participate in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, the NIT, or the College Basketball Invitational. All games were streamed on ESPN+.[3] In lieu of a traditional bracket, The Basketball Classic used the old NIT model in which the matchups were set after each round.
