Hall of Fame Tip-Off Champions

Full list of Hall of Fame Tip-Off champions, including head coach, by year. The Air Force Reserve Hall of Fame Tip-Off is an early season Division I men’s college basketball tournament that has taken place annually in November since 2011. The field of eight is separated into two groups of four: the Springfield Division and Naismith Division. The teams in the Naismith will host two teams from the Springfield on campus for early season match-ups, then all teams convene in Uncasville, Connecticut to play two separate tournaments at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Champions below represent winners of the Naismith Division bracket.

Not to be confused with the Hall of Fame Classic.
