College basketball event
The Jimmy V Classic is an annual basketball game organized by ESPN Events to raise money and awareness for cancer research. It is named after Jim Valvano and features clips from his speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards .
History
The Men's Classic was first held in 1995. Since its inception, it has featured four teams in a double header played in a neutral stadium.
The Women's Classic began in 2002, also featuring four teams in a double header. In 2005, the Women's Classic shrunk to two teams playing a single game. In 2021, the Women's Classic expanded back to the original format. In 2023, a triple-header, with six teams competing, will be played. Unlike the Men's Classic, each game of the Women's Classic is played at one of the competitor's home arenas.
