2 days until MaxPreps Holiday Classic: 2 courts streamed live on The Cube

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — It's two days until the MaxPreps Holiday Classic and we present not one but two daily streams each day from one of the nation's top basketball tournaments.

The Cube will stream games live each day from the two gyms at beautiful Rancho Mirage (Calif.) High in the 117-team, 11-division tournament, which runs Dec. 26-30.

See entire Cube schedule here

The 16-team Open Division will run largely at Rancho Mirage, as will the slam dunk contest, which takes place Monday and the 3-point finals which occur during semifinal play on Tuesday.

The Open Division finals are slated for 9 p.m. Dec. 30. The very first game, in fact, features the host school Rancho Mirage (8-0), which takes on Laguna Hills (Calif.).

See MaxPreps Holiday Classic landing page

All of it will be streamed on the Cube, which has logged more than 150,000 events, 100,000 hours of video and shot more than 10,000 schools worldwide.

Among the teams The Cube will capture all four days of the event is Chino Hills (Calif.), the No. 1 team in the country after the Huskies captured the prestigious City of Palms Classic on Wednesday.

Lonzo Ball, a 6-foot-6 point guard from Chino Hills, is among the 24 top players in the tournament that The Cube will no doubt be centering upon.
