Don't really care very much about this tournament, but wonder why they would pit North vs South in the opening game. The already play each other twice in the MIC. Do they draw the tournament or seed it?

Sorry you don't care, its a great tournament. It is drawn and North and South only play once a year in the MIC.

Oh.

Did there used to be a HS tourney (not sectionals, regionals, or semi-state) that featured Valley HS teams playing at HC?

The old Wabash Valley Classic (I don't know the years) played some games in the Hulman Center. It was before most schools consolidated so the field was much larger.
 
My favorites to win the Classic are:

Terre Haute North
Sullivan
Rockville
West Vigo


That Sullivan-Rockville first round game is sure to be a good one. I can't wait til this thing starts. I won't be getting to the games until about 2pm, so if anyone else please share some insight.

Close counts when you haven't won a game all season and you were down 14-2 at the end of 1. I don't think South has won a game all season? North should have beat South by 20. I haven't seen any Indiana High School basketball this season so it's really difficult to say, but from what I understand South is just not very good. Seems as if ole Tornado Mike Saylor got out at the right time. Seems if maybe he saw the writing on the wall? What do you think?
 
NOTE: As of 8:00 p.m. 356 Pizza Hut Pizzas have been served at the Pizza Hut Classic, saw this on Rick Semmler's Twitter. WOW! Terre Haute can put away some pizza - also shows us that Terre Haute supports local basketball. Hopefully the HC can start to see some of this! I think we've seen some improvement in this area this year. (Not that I want to get into an attendance discussion)

I was there and North should of spanked south but they played very poorly. South beat west vigo but has lost all of their other games, worst south team i've seen since watching hs ball. I dont think ridge really knows what he is doing out there but Saylor def. picked a nice time to call it quits bc there is not much talent to work with.

Also just my opinion but I think Sullivan can and maybe should be the favorite to win it all. They have some nice players to go along with Rhett. I thought the sullivan-rockville game was a better played game than the north-south game. Both Rockville and Sullivan surprised me in a good way today, very good teams.

Like what kind of consolidation years are you talking about? Like Freelandville consolidating into Oaktown in 1932, or Carlise HS consolidating into Sullivan High School in 1968?

The last Wabash Valley Tournament game was played in 1971. The championship game was played in West Vigo's gym. Marshall beat Sullivan for the championship 74 - 71.

The Hulman Center opened on December 14, 1973

There was NEVER any Pizza Hut Classic games played at the Hulman Center, nor were there ever any Wabash Valley Tournament games played on the Indiana State campus, during any decade for any tournament year.

P.S. Also, the Wabash Valley Tournament was never called the Wabash Valley Classic.

Just curious...where or who did you ever hear any of those urban legends about the WVT from?

in the nineties north played west and south played northview at hulman center and i'm not sure, but i believe it was called the pizza hut classic. just regular season games, not a tournament, but that could lead to confusion
