Coverage of UMass in the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic

For the first time Western Mass Sports Biz is proud to cover UMass Basketball's appearance in the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic, live from inside the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.

After covering the Tip-Off Tournament at the Mohegan Sun Arena for many years, the MAAC Conference Tournament in Springfield, and the Hall of Fame Classic in Springfield, this marks the first time Western Mass Sports Biz will be covering an event outside of New England.

This event, held each year by the Orange Bowl Committee, further establishes the Orange Bowl's commitment to sports and the community of South Florida.  Unlike the Orange Bowl, held in Miami Gardens, the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic is hosted 20 miles north in Broward County in the city of Sunrise.  

The Classic brings top NCAA division 1 men's basketball teams each year to the tournament, this year hosting Florida St. vs. UMass in the first game, and the University of Florida vs. George Washington in the second game of the double-header.

Stay tuned to WesternMassSportsBiz.com all day for updates live from Sunrise, as we tap into the business-side of everything happening at the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic.  Live tweets and photos will also be available on Twitter @zbaru.
