NASHVILLE - The Trevecca Nazarene University women's basketball team is hosting the 17th Jack "Pops" Duncan Classic (PDC) @ Trevecca Nov. 10-11 in the Trojan Fieldhouse.
 
The PDC serves as a Midwest Region Crossover featuring a pair of teams from the Great Lakes Athletic Conference (GLVC) and the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC).
 
This year Drury University, Kentucky Wesleyan College, and Southwest Baptist University all make return visits to the PDC, joining the Trevecca Trojans to make up the four-team field.
 
Drury and Southwest Baptist are from the GLVC, one of three conferences that make up the NCAA Division II Midwest Region. Trevecca and Kentucky Wesleyan are members of the  G-MAC. The third conference in the Midwest Region is the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference).
 
It is the eighth appearance for Kentucky Wesleyan College in the Pops Duncan Classic, the fifth appearance for Drury, and Southwest Baptist is here for the second time.
 
The Trojans are 16-14 all-time in the PDC. Trevecca won nine of their first ten games in the Pops Duncan Classic and 12 of their first 16 games.

ABOUT JACK "POPS" DUNCAN
This basketball classic is named for Jack "Pops" Duncan, a longtime supporter of Trevecca athletics. Pops passed away on October 7, 2017. Pops' smile and encouragement is missed, but we are all blessed to have known him for so many years.
 
His story is one that warms the hearts of many Trevecca athletes, staff, and fans. In the spring of 2016, Pops was inducted into the Trevecca Athletic Hall of Fame (HOF Bio).
Remembering Pops Duncan   
Jack "Pops" Duncan Hall of Fame Press Release
 
Wendell Poole, a 1961 Trevecca graduate and founder of the T-Club (Now Purple and White Club), introduced Jack "Pops" Duncan to Trevecca Athletics and the love affair of Pops and from Pops grew as Wendell drove Pops to TNU games all over the Southeast, cheering on the Purple and White.
 
All Pops Duncan Classic games are played in the Trojan Fieldhouse on the Trevecca campus which is located two miles from the heart of Nashville. The Trojan Fieldhouse is located inside the Mark R. Moore Physical Education Center.
