ADVERTISE WITH THE BREAKDOWN! Our basketball and hockey books are in production now, so if you'd like to reach the greatest Minnesota high school audience, contact our editor or see more details on our advertising page.

The Tip Off Classic began back in January of 2004. The Breakdown staff wanted to showcase teams from across the state and provide unique, competitive matchups. We also wanted to have top-rated teams with state tournaments aspirations.

The experiment worked out so well that now we host the No. 1 single day classic in Minnesota.

The boys and girls Tip Off Classic are run on different Saturdays at the start of December.
