The 2025 Chris Paul HBCU Classic lit up Atlanta’s Gateway Center Arena December 18–19 as one of the most exciting showcases in historically Black college basketball this season. What makes this annual event special isn’t just the highlight-worthy hoops — it’s the celebration of culture, opportunity, and exposure for schools that often get overlooked on the national stage.
