Hoop Hype XL

What Is Hoop Hype XL?

U-Sports Group re-introduces the second entry in its signature collection of collegiate sporting events with Hoop Hype XL | College Basketball Showcase. Hoop Hype XL provides the platform for premier programs to compete on a national stage and impact the local community in a positive way. This year's event will present a tremendous early-season test with Big 12 contender Oklahoma State Cowboys taking on American Athletic Conference Tournament Champion, Houston Cougars, who are coming off a NCAA Final Four appearance. In the opening contest, another American Athletic Conference heavyweight, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, battle pre-season Top 25 foe, the Colorado State Rams out of the Mountain West Conference.

Hoop Hype XL | College Basketball Showcase will be held at Dickies Arena, a premier 14,000 seat arena located just minutes from downtown Fort Worth.

Inspire Greatness

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (TX) will play host to this high-level event on December 18th, 2021. Home of elite professional franchises, including the Mavericks, Cowboys, Stars and Texas Rangers, the DFW metroplex offers all of the sights, sounds and fun that basketball fans and event supporters will need for an exciting, enjoyable visit.

As with all of the U-Sports Group event platforms, Hoop Hype XL | College Basketball Showcase will be rooted in service, inspiring the participating student-athletes to use their gifts to touch the lives of children in the community. We truly believe that this event and associated community campaign will greatly impact the lives of less-fortunate children in the DFW metroplex and be a rewarding experience for the student-athletes and universities.
