Due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria to the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the 2017 Puerto Rico Tip-Off, originally slated to be played at the Coliseo Municipal Tomas Dones in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, will be relocated to the campus of Coastal Carolina University, in Conway, S.C. Games will be played Thursday, Nov. 16, through Sunday, Nov. 19, at the HTC Student Recreation and Convocation Center.
