San Diego State to play in inaugural Bill Walton Classic on Nov. 7

San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher has not quite seven months to order tie-dyed jerseys or warmup gear before his Aztecs play in the inaugural Bill Walton Classic.

It would be only fitting, since the doubleheader on Nov. 7 is sure to be a mashup of the things Walton loved the most: basketball, the Grateful Dead and his hometown.

The Bill Walton Classic will be played Nov. 7 at Pechanga Arena, where Walton played for the NBA’s Clippers in the early 1980s before they moved to Los Angeles.

SDSU will play a power conference team still to be determined.
