Welcome to the new blog for the O’Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. We are excited to bring this to you. This blog will have all of the latest information about the upcoming tournament.
The 2008 O’Reilly Auto Parts Classic will get underway with regional action at four sites (November 16-19) with the Championship Round games at Sprint Center (November 24th & 25th) in Kansas City. And don’t forget, you can follow all of the action at http://www.cbeclassic.com/.
As part of the weekend’s events, seven coaches, players and contributors will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Those seven are…
Charles Barkley- former Auburn Tiger & Naismith Hall of Fame member
Arnie Ferrin- four-time All-American at University of Utah
Danny Manning- Kansas all-time leading scorer
Billy Packer- former Wake Forest guard & CBS College Basketball analyst
Jim Phelan- former Mt. St. Mary’s head coach (830 career wins)
Nolan Richardson- former Arkansas head coach
Dick Vitale- ESPN analyst
And if you look back, there is a lot of history in college basketball with those seven gentlemen.
Those ceremonies will take place Sunday, November 23rd, the day before the championship rounds of the CBE Classic.

WHo is in thios years field. I know SYracuse is
I know Florida is and I know Bradley is as well. I read an article on the Bradley website stating that they would be playing either Syracuse or Florida in the first round. I've read that the teams and sites will be announced sometime in September. I grew up in Peoria (Bradley) and I'm a huge Florida fan down in Jax, FL now so I'm hoping for a BU/UF matchup! I signed up on the CBE website to get updates. Hopefully we'll hear soon!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
