The 2017 and 2018 Wooden Legacy – the three-day, multi-team men’s college basketball event played yearly over the Thanksgiving holiday – will be played in its entirety at California State University, Fullerton’s Titan Gym. In previous years, the final day of competition was held at the Honda Center in Anaheim after playing the opening days on Cal State Fullerton’s campus.

The 2017 Wooden Legacy will be held on Thursday, Nov. 23, Friday, Nov. 24 and Sunday, Nov. 26. The field consists of Cal State Fullerton, DePaul, Georgia, Harvard, Saint Joseph’s, Saint Mary’s (Calif.), San Diego State and Washington State. The bracket – including game times and networks – will be released this summer.

The 2018 field will be announced in conjunction with the opening day of the 2017 event. The Wooden Legacy is one of 11 college basketball events owned and operated by ESPN Events, a division of ESPN.
