Maurice Creek, Jordan Hulls and Christian Watford are headed to play in the 2009 Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic on April 11 at Louisville's Freedom Hall. Christian Watford's father, Ernest, told me last Thursday that his son would be heading up to Louisville, and reports have confirmed that he, Creek and Hulls will be among the Derby Classic competitors.
Though the competitors list has yet to be divided into teams, below the jump you will find a full list of the KDFBC participants. Ten of the 20 players are from IU, Kentucky and Louisville. Tickets are on sale now and are available at TicketMaster.com ($12 or $17 reserved).
