The Event has also had four additional NCAA Final Four teams -- Memphis (2008), George Mason (2006), Marquette (2003), and Texas (2003). Since 1995, 59 teams that participated in the 2K Sports Classic went on to compete in the NCAA Tournament that March.

THE GARDENOn so many nights across its 125 year history, the Garden has been THE place to be. Today, Madison Square Garden extends its greatness onto busy Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets in Manhattan. The first Garden opened on Fifth Avenue in 1879 and has since changed locations and revolutionized into the 19,763-seat arena at its current location. The Garden is no stranger to college basketball, hosting the very first major postseason tournament, the National Invitational Tournament, in 1938. Well known across the globe, the Garden is more than an arena. Nearly five million fans pass through the Gardens turnstiles every year, taking in such familiar staples as the New York Knicks, Rangers and Liberty, concerts, world championship boxing, and of course, college basketball.

Its known simply as The Garden, a perfect appellation for a place where legends grow. To millions, those two words mean just one thing: Madison Square Garden, billed in typical New York hype as

THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS ARENA.

It doesnt matter if its Michael Jordan, or Muhammad Ali, or Sinatra, or the Pope... They know the stage is brighter here than anyplace else!

Whether sitting in the locker room or waiting in the wings, athletes and artists view the Garden as the pinnacle: the best venue in the biggest city before the brightest audiences.

The Garden is more than a building. The history is so rich, and people want to be a part of that history.

- From Looking Back at 125 Years of Madison Square Garden By AP Writer Larry McShane


Fans sampled all seven RealBeanz flavors at the on-site display areas.


Lucky fans who participated in the RealBeanz Chug & Dribble promotion had to dribble a ball to halfcourt, drink a RealBeanz iced coffee, and make a lay-up at the opposite end.

DID YOU KNOW???

- In two short years, the BlackRock Gotham Classic has been an unqualified success. The tournament has featured four of the winningest programs in the history of college basketball, with Syracuse and Temple meeting in the inaugural event, and Notre Dame and Ohio State squaring off in the 2013 Classic.

- ESPN Networks televised four games of the BlackRock Gotham Classic in 2013. The Showcase Round game at Madison Square Garden between No. 2 Ohio State and Notre Dame was broadcast on ESPN2. ESPNU aired a pair of games from Notre Dame (Bryant and North Dakota State), and ESPN3 showed the Notre Dame-Delaware contest. In addition, the Big Ten Network televised all three Ohio State home games to a national audience. Locally, the North Dakota State-Delaware game was televised throughout the state of North Dakota on MeTV. In all, eight of the 10 games were broadcast on television.

- For the Showcase Game between Ohio State and Notre Dame, the ESPN broadcast team consisted of lead college basketball play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman, color analyst Dan Dakich, and sideline reporter Jeff Goodman. The game drew a 1.06 rating, significantly higher than the average rating for college basketball on ESPN2.

- The Showcase Game of the BlackRock Gotham Classic drew 10,138 fans to Madison Square Garden. In all, over 80,000 fans attended the event in 2013.
