Zika concerns move Puerto Rico Tip-Off to Florida

Zika virus concerns have led ESPN to move the Puerto Rico Tip-Off to Florida this November, so Xavier's men's basketball team will play on the same court where it won the 2015 AdvoCare Invitational.

The Musketeers dismantled Dayton in last year's tourney finale at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex's HP Field House at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.

Xavier is among the teams originally slated to play at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan.

The Puerto Rico Tip-Off's dates remain the same (Nov. 17, 18 and 20) and the tourney will not conflict with the AdvoCare Invitational, which is Thanksgiving weekend.
