4th ANNUAL WELLS FARGO BASKETBALL CLASSIC

Ring in 2009 with the best basketball action in the Desert Southwest!  Eight talented basketball teams from four different states will take over 'The House' on the Arizona Western College campus on the first weekend of 2009 for the 
4th Annual Wells Fargo Classic
presented by Wells Fargo Bank and Matador Athletics!

In 2008, the Matadors' men's basketball team hosted an expanded 4-team field!

3 of them went to the playoffs,
and 2 of them faced each other in the Region Finals! 

  And for the first time, the Wells Fargo Classic hosted a strong 4-team women's field-led by the AWC Lady Matadors!

Those 4 teams averaged over 20 wins apiece last year,
and 2 of them went to their Region Finals! 

This season, we're bringing you another strong eight-team tournament field, with four women's and four men's teams taking the floor each day. 
   Patrick Cunningham's run-and-gun AWC Lady Matadors head a strong women's field that includes '08 Region XVIII playoff participant, the College of Eastern Utah, as well as two strong Illinois teams who have already earned national rankings this season, Parkland College & Kishwaukee College!
   Meanwhile, Kelly Green's Matador Men's Basketball team, who just made their 5th straight Region I Finals appearance, will face tough competition from a men's field that includes:  the College of Eastern Utah, who reached the Region XVIII Semifinals a year ago; perennial Region I playoff contender Central Arizona College; as well as one of Eastern Utah's big Region XVIII rivals from Colorado Northwestern College!

Here's this year's exciting schedule!

So grab the kids, call your friends, and join us at 'The House' this January for the 4th Annual Wells Fargo Classic!  You can't beat the action... especially for the price!  Click on the link below for more information:
