Get your tickets now to see the John R. Wooden Classic at the Honda Center on December 1! 

The John R. Wooden Classic has been a staple in the area ever since it first began in 1994 as an annual tribute to one of the greatest college basketball coaches who ever lived.  Wooden passed away in 2010 at the age of 99, and leaves behind an impressive string of accomplishments that will likely never be duplicated again.  He won 10 NCAA Championships with the UCLA Bruins over a 12 year period, and Wooden was named national coach of the year 6 times.  John Wooden was also a great college player in his career at Purdue, where he won a national championship and was also named an All-American for three years there.  He is the first person to be elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a coach and a player.

This year’s event will feature a matchup against two up and coming teams in UCLA and San Diego State.  The UCLA Bruins finished the 2011-12 season with a 19-14 record but did not participate in the NCAA Tournament.  They will be returning three starters from the previous year, including the likes of David Wear and Travis Wear, who together averaged more than 20 points per game for the Bruins.  The Bruins will also be joined by a great recruiting class led by Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams.  This will be the 16^th time the UCLA Bruins have participated in the John R. Wooden Classic, having compiled a record of 11-4 in the event’s history.

The Bruins will be facing off against the San Diego State Aztecs, who are coming off of a fantastic season in 2011-12 that saw them make it into the NCAA Tournament as an 11 seed and advance into the second round.  The team will be returning four starters for next season, and should be nationally ranked when the 2012-13 season begins, led by Jamaal Franklin and head coach Steve Fisher.
