KALAMAZOO, MI - Due to Hurricane Maria's impact on Puerto Rico, the Western Michigan men's basketball team will compete in the 11th-annual Puerto Rico Tip-Off in South Carolina.
Originally scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 16 to Sunday, Nov. 19, at the Coliseo Municipal Tomas Dones in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, the 2017 version of the eight-team tournament will be played on the same dates at Coastal Carolina University near Myrtle Beach.
The storm hit Puerto Rico as a category-4 hurricane, and as of Sept. 26, 95 percent of the island was without power, while less than half the population had drinkable water.
