Wabler likes how Puerto Rico field turned out
When Dayton committed to the Puerto Rico Tip-off Classic, it hoped to be part of an attractive field, and that’s exactly how it turned out.
There are oodles of exempt tournaments in November and December, and the eight teams assembled here — UD, Georgia Tech, Villanova, George Mason, Mississippi, Boston University, Kansas State and Indiana — can compare with almost any other field out there.
“You never know when you sign up,” UD Athletic Director Tim Wabler said. “They always promise you five or six BCS teams. I think this is one of the top-two in-season tournaments with the Maui Invitational.”
Playing in the Maui tourney are Maryland, Cincinnati, Vanderbilt, Colorado, Gonzaga, Arizona, Wisconsin and host Chaminade.
NCAA rules allow teams to play in exempt tournaments and count them as just one game. UD was allowed to play a maximum of 12 non-conference games but will play 14 because of the three games here.
