The Lightower Conference Classic is a semi-annual collegiate men's basketball event currently featuring a game played between two Atlantic 10 Conference NCAA Division-I member schools at Blue Cross Arena.

The event, started by St. Bonaventure University, brings NCAA Division-I basketball to Rochester, NY, the largest city in the University States without a full NCAA Division-I member school. While the early contests featured non-conference games, often with power conference teams, in 2014, with the rise of Atlantic 10 Conference's success in the NCAA National Tournament, the event moved to feature a conference matchup for the Bonnies men's basketball program.

Lightower Fiber Networks (formerly Fibertech), a Boxborough, MA based provider of fiber networks has held the title sponsorship since 2002.
