This Friday, Veterans Day 2022, college basketball returns to an aircraft carrier when Gonzaga meets Michigan State on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the San Diego harbor. On this edition of 19nine SHORTS, The Chucker, 19nine’s resident historian, revisits the inaugural Carrier Classic in 2011. He explains how – over the course of a decade – this novel event transitioned from a crazy idea into one of the most distinctive college basketball games ever played.
