Roc City Hoops Classic
Formerly known as the Lightower Conference Classic, the Roc City Hoops Classic is an annual collegiate men's basketball event. The event formerly featured a game played between two Atlantic 10 Conference NCAA Division-I member schools at Blue Cross Arena.
The event, started by St. Bonaventure University, brings NCAA Division-I basketball to Rochester, NY, the largest city in the University States without a full NCAA Division-I member school. While the early contests featured non-conference games, often with power conference teams, in 2014, with the rise of Atlantic 10 Conference's success in the NCAA National Tournament, the event moved to feature a conference matchup for the Bonnies men's basketball program.
Alesco Advisors is the presenting Sponsor for the event. Lightower Fiber Networks, a Boxborough, MA based provider of fiber networks has held the title sponsorship from 2002-2016.Classic History
