Due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria, the Puerto Rico Tip-Off college basketball tournament will be relocated to Conway, South Carolina, ESPN announced Thursday.
The 11th annual tournament, originally slated to be played at the Coliseo Municipal Tomas Dones in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, will be played Nov. 16-19 at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, which is just outside of Myrtle Beach.
"The aftermath of the hurricane has caused an immense hardship to the island, and our thoughts are with the people of Puerto Rico during this difficult time," said Pete Derzis, ESPN senior vice president of college sports programming and events.
