"CENTRAL FLORIDA'S OLDEST BASKETBALL
CLASSIC"
The tournament was created in 1970 by the
Tangerine Sports Association and quickly became 'the basketball
tournament in Orlando.' The Tangerine ran from 1970-1982, but was
then absorbed by the Florida Citrus Sports Association. The
Tangerine nickname was temporarily retired. The Rollins Athletic
Department rejuvenated the event in 1989 and has hosted the
tournament ever since.
'
Since Ohio University defeated Seton Hall
84-82 for the inaugural title in 1970, some of the nation's finest
basketball teams have competed in the Tangerine Tournament. Top
Division I programs like Purdue, Temple, St. Joseph's, Fordham,
Valparaiso, Western Kentucky, Miami of Ohio, Richmond, William
& Mary, Marshall, Bowling Green, Colgate and Navy all have
played in the classic. In the last decade, some of the best
Division II programs have helped the event maintain a penchant for
exciting play.
'
A grand total of 61 teams have competed in
tournament with Rollins having played in the tournament 29 times.
UCF and Stetson were regular participants during the early days of
the tournament. Stetson last participated in the tournament in 1982
when they lost an exciting final to Purdue 61-60. UCF last played
in the tournament during the 1990-91 season when they lost to
Rollins 78-70 in the championship game.
