The Crossroads Classic was a four-team

Big Ten

conference rivals.

History

The event was the brainchild of former

Purdue athletic director Morgan Burke. ^[1] It was designed to replicate a previous basketball event, the Hoosier Classic, which dated back to the 1940s. The Hoosier Classic was also a two-game non-conference showcase between Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame and Butler. The games were held at Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse. ^[2]

In 2014, the athletic directors at the four participating schools announced that the Crossroads Classic had been renewed through 2021.[3]

In 2016, for the first time in history, all four teams entered the Crossroads Classic ranked in the top 25.^[4]

In 2022 the Crossroad Classic was replaced by the Indy Classic.
