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.
