It's Time to Add UConn and Gonzaga to the Champions Classic
Two of College Basketball's Most Storied Programs Deserve a Spot in the Prestigious Event
The Champions Classic is one of the most prestigious events in college basketball, featuring four of the nation's top programs. The event has been held every year since 2008, and the field has included teams such as Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina.
However, two of the most storied programs in college basketball history have never been invited to the Champions Classic: UConn and Gonzaga.
UConn has won 11 national championships, the most of any Division I program. The Huskies have also been to the Final Four 19 times, the second most of any Division I program.
Gonzaga has won the West Coast Conference regular season championship 20 times in the past 23 years. The Bulldogs have also been to the NCAA Tournament 23 times in the past 24 years, including two Final Fours.
Both UConn and Gonzaga have a rich history and tradition in college basketball. They are two of the most successful programs in the country, and they deserve a spot in the Champions Classic.
