Legends Classic Champions
Full list of Legends Classic champions, including head coach, by year. The Legends Classic is an early season Division I men’s college basketball tournament that has taken place annually since 2007. The tournament, which takes place in November, begins with teams playing one or two early round on campus games. Then four teams meet at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York (since 2012) to decide the Champion. The teams that do not travel to Barclays play in a separate round robin event at a subregional location, with each team guaranteed to play four games.
