NORMAL — Illinois State's basketball team will still be going somewhere warm for the Cancun Challenge, but it won't be in Mexico.
Triple Crown Sports announced Thursday the Cancun Challenge is being moved to Eastern State College in Melbourne, Florida, on Nov. 24 and 25 "in an effort to ensure the safety of the athletes, coaches, staff members and fans."
ISU is part of the Riviera Division along with Purdue, Mississippi State and Clemson. The tournament schedule is to be released later.
Games will be played at the Titan Field House, which is home to Eastern Florida’s men’s and women’s basketball programs.
