by Mark Nero| Times of San Diego
Bill Walton is one of the most revered and beloved athletes in San Diego history. And a new annual sporting event launching this weekend aims to further cement his legacy.
The National University Bill Walton Classic, a college basketball doubleheader created to honor the departed center, holds its inaugural edition Saturday. As part of it, the San Diego State men’s basketball team will play Colorado in a nationally televised contest, followed by a game between the University of San Diego and UC San Diego women’s teams.
Both games take place at Pechanga Arena, where NBA legend Walton played with the then-San Diego Clippers early in his career after his championship seasons with UCLA. The men’s game will air on USA Network. Tickets remain available.
