HICKORY, N.C. — Four men's college basketball teams will compete during two days of competition at the PDQ Classic this Friday and Saturday at the Tarlton Complex.

The Catawba Valley Community College men's basketball program is hosting the event, which will feature the men's basketball teams from CVCC, as well as Central Carolina, Guilford Tech and Johnston community colleges.

The PDQ Classic, formerly known as the CVCC Classic, has taken place since the 2014-15 men's basketball season.

"We've been happy to host this tournament the past three years, but are excited to now partner with local business PDQ (People Dedicated to Quality)," said CVCC Athletic Director Nick Schroeder. "This unique partnership provides an opportunity to showcase four great community colleges across the state of North Carolina as well as promote PDQ. This tournament will be a springboard to promote competitive basketball and our relationship with PDQ as we go into the future."

The community will also be a huge part in this two-day event.

The Newton-Conover youth basketball organization will be performing an exhibition during halftime of CVCC's game on Friday against Central Carolina Community College.

There will be also several giveaways during the event, including free cookie coupons to the first 100 fans attending Friday's games and a surprise halftime giveaway on Saturday.
