FULLERTON, Calif. - La Salle University was among seven schools that were announced as participants in the 2018 Wooden Legacy on Thursday. The event will be played in Southern California on November 22-25, 2018.
In addition to the Explorers, other teams scheduled to compete in next year's Wooden Legacy are Fresno State, Hawai'i, Miami, Northwestern, Seton Hall and Utah. One additional team will join the field and will be announced at a later date.
The Wooden Legacy was formed in June 2013 when the John R. Wooden Classic was merged with the Anaheim Classic, which was an eight-school bracketed event played for six years (2007-2012) at the Anaheim Convention Center. The Wooden Classic was staged 19 years (1994-2012) at Honda Center with the first 17 events being college doubleheaders. Utah played in the 1996 and 2000 Wooden Classics against Arizona and USC, respectively.
The Wooden Legacy is one of several in-season eight-school bracketed college basketball tournaments owned and operated by ESPN Events, a subsidiary of ESPN, that have been staged since 2006.
Ticket and travel information for the event will be announced in the coming months.
