Zero Gravity Prep Classic on tap for this weekend
The opening months of the college basketball season is characterized by exempt tournaments - select events bringing together some of the top programs in the country that preceed league schedules.
The prep school season has similar traditions with four straight weekends of exposure showcases to start the weekend beginning with the National Prep Showcase. With Thanksgiving now behind us, we turn our attention to the second leg of that tour, which takes place this weekend at St. Andrew's School in Rhode Island for the Zero Gravity Prep Classic.
Formerly known as the Hoop Mountain Prep Classic, the ZG field welcomes many of New England's top programs while also opening up the field (and a second gym at St. Andrew's) to some teams from outside the region that have just the sleepers that college coaches are starting to search for at this time of year.
