Yormark, Calipari Announce Barclays Center Classic

Nets Basketball Press Release

Yesterday's announcement that the University of Kentucky and the University of Maryland would play the inaugural NCAA basketball game at the Barclays Center of Brooklyn® featured a "despicable, shameless used car salesman — and the surprise is that's not a reference to Bruce Ratner or Brett Yormark!

Flanked by Kentucky coach John Calipari and Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson, on what Barclays Center developer Bruce Ratner called “another good day” despite dreary weather, Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark announced Wednesday that the under-construction arena would tip off its “Brooklyn HOOPS” college sports franchise with the Barclays Center Classic, presented by Sheets Brand Energy Strips, on November 9, 2012.
