State Farm® Women's Tip-Off Classic

State Farm became involved in the Tip-Off Classic as part of an overall women’s support strategy the company started back in the early ‘90s. State Farm also has a strong presence in women’s basketball throughout the season.

State Farm has been proudly sponsoring the Tip-Off Classic for 16 years.

The 2008 State Farm Tip-Off Classic will be located at Louisiana State University. It will be held on November 16, 2008. This year’s Tip-Off Classic will feature Notre Dame against LSU at 1:30 p.m. (CST) and the University of Pittsburgh versus Texas A&M at 4:00 p.m. (CST). Both games will be played at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at Louisiana State University and televised live on ESPN2.

“We are very excited to be in the State Farm Tip-Off Classic, but even more excited to be hosting the event on our home floor,” LSU head coach Van Chancellor said. “This is one of the premiere events of the season, and we are honored to be a part of it. There are three great institutions that will be joining us. We look forward to starting the season in the State Farm Tip-Off Classic.”
