The Harlem Globetrotters

You can start a new Thanksgiving tradition with your family by adding a spoonful of basketball to your holiday plans. After you stuff yourself with turkey and dressing, check out a weekend full of hoops action at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World.

Some of the nation’s most well-known collegiate basketball teams are competing in the Old Spice Classic, one of the top preseason tournaments in the country, on Thursday, Friday and Sunday at the complex’s HP Field House. We’re talking about Notre Dame, Boston College, Cal, Georgia, Temple, Texas A&M, Wisconsin and Manhattan in nationally-televised games.

The Harlem Globetrotters and Mickey Mouse

Of course, if you like your basketball to be a little wacky, you can catch those zany Harlem Globetrotters at the HP Field House. They play two games there on Saturday.

It’s easy to get tickets which are on sale at ticketmaster.com or at the sports complex’s box office. You can find game times for the Classic at oldspiceclassic.com and Globetrotters information at espnwwos.com. For updates on all of the Old Spice Classic action, follow us @DisneySports.
