Basketball Hall of Fame HBCU Tip Off Tournament at Mohegan Sun Arena

Chris Paul, who currently features for Pheonix Suns as the point guard, has expressed a deep desire to help create a 1$m college scholarship fund. The HBCUs have had a significant impact on the basketball community of the United States, and it is imperative that those who have made it, like Paul, can look back and support upcoming athletes. Legends such as Ben Wallace and Earl Lloyd have come through HCBUs institutions themselves.
The HBCU Tip-Off Tournament is one of the ways how The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Chris Paul will raise awareness and support for student-athletes. The aim is to celebrate the game outside of museum walls while providing upcoming talent a platform as well. Participating head coaches from the four institutions have also expressed their excitement about the event. They feel great honor in being part of a historical inaugural event. Mohegan Sun Arena is one of the best event venues in the country and was ranked as #1 social media venue in 2016 and is rated as a top venue by Billboard Magazine, Pollstar and Venues NOW. You can get a chance to see some great live basketball, and be a part of this historic event. Grab your tickets ASAP!
