Continental Tire to Title Sponsor Two College Basketball Tournaments

Continental Tire will be the title sponsor of the Las Vegas Invitational (Nov. 25-26) and the Las Vegas Classic (Dec. 22-23) this year at the Orleans Arena.

FORT MILL, S.C. – Continental Tire has been named the title sponsor for two marquee college basketball tournaments: the Las Vegas Invitational and the Las Vegas Classic. Both tournaments will be held this year at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
 
The 11th annual Las Vegas Invitational, scheduled for Nov. 25-26, will feature pre-season, top-ranked University of North Carolina, University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), University of South Carolina and the University of Southern California (USC). Morgan State, Cal-Poly, Mississippi Valley and Tennessee State also will try their best to claim the invitational title.
 
The Las Vegas Classic will host another group of powerhouse schools Dec. 22-23, with participants including West Virginia, Baylor, St. Mary’s and Missouri State. Bethune Cookman, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Kennesaw State and Tennessee Tech also will participate in the December tournament.
 
"To add the Las Vegas Invitational and Las Vegas Classic to Continental Tire’s growing list of elite sports partnerships is certainly an honor," said Travis Roffler, director of marketing, Continental Tire. "We’ve had a lot of success with our current college partners – Duke University and University of North Carolina – and their sports programs, so this partnership made perfect sense. The list of competing schools in both tournaments is impressive and we look forward to some very entertaining games."
 
The two tournaments join Continental Tire’s notable list of sports sponsorships, including Major League Soccer, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and Grand-Am road racing.
 
Tickets for the final rounds in Las Vegas can be purchased by calling the Orleans Arena box office at (702) 284-7777, or by visiting www.orleansarena.com.
