Glenn Wilkes Classic Tickets

The Glenn Wilkes Classic is a storied chapter in Florida basketball history, named in honor of Glenn Wilkes, the long-time Stetson University head coach often regarded as the Godfather of Florida basketball. The event originated in 2007 as an inaugural NCAA Multiple Team Event-style tournament, designed to showcase a slate of college programs across a three-day format centered at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, with additional campus-hosted games. This page brings you a concise biography of Wilkes, a look at the tournament’s past fields, and notes on any potential future appearances so fans know what to expect. Whether you’re a longtime follower of the series or a newer fan, we’ve got you covered with reliable information and seamless ticketing options.
