Women’s Crossover Classic announces schedule change

The Women’s Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic has been reshaped into a three-team, round-robin college basketball event featuring No. 1 South Carolina, South Dakota and Gonzaga. The event takes place Nov. 28-30 at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Oklahoma withdrew from the tournament on Thursday due to COVID-19 contact tracing.

FloSports.tv will broadcast all three games.

Sanford Health and the Sanford Pentagon will work closely with the schools and individual states and be ready to adjust based on guidelines and safety measures for all involved.

About the Sanford Pentagon

The cornerstone of the Sanford Sports Complex in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is the Sanford Pentagon, a 160,000-square-foot, five-sided facility featuring nine basketball courts, including the 1950s/1960s-inspired Heritage Court. The venue combines state-of-the-art amenities — including high-definition video boards and executive suites — with period-specific finishes that are a nod to the nostalgic days of basketball.

The 3,200-seat Pentagon is home to Sanford POWER Basketball Academy, Sanford POWER Volleyball Academy, the NBA G League’s Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Women’s and Men’s Basketball tournaments and the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame.
