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

LA MESA, Calif. (AP) — 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. “We’ll have to get on board with (Nike) Jordan and see what they’ll do for a one-off special game. I’d love to wear something tie-dyed for that game," Dutcher said after a news conference Wednesday in the gym at suburban Helix High, where Walton starred nearly 60 years ago at the beginning of a hoops journey that took him to UCLA, the NBA and then into broadcasting. The Bill Walton Classic will be played at Pechanga Arena, where Walton played for the NBA's Clippers in the early 1980s before they moved to Los Angeles.
