Ole Miss Athletics says the men’s basketball program will travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a six-day tour from August 2-7. The trip will be highlighted by two exhibition contests.
The Rebels will square off with a pair of Puerto Rican teams on Tuesday, August 4 and Wednesday, August 5 inside Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Both exhibitions will provide the Rebels with valuable live-game experience during the off-season to evaluate the team’s development.
The school said the tour will be put on by Complete Sports Management is an all-encompassing sports events and marketing agency whose services include the creation of global sporting events, sponsorship and hospitality packages. In addition to CSM, former NBA player, Carlos Arroyo, is scheduling both games.
