Georgia men's hoops to leave the country for holiday tournament | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

As Georgia head men's basketball coach, Tom Crean's first holiday tournament will take place in the Caribbean.

The Bulldogs have agreed to take part in the Cayman Islands Classic, an eight-team tournament that will take place from Nov. 20-22. The Telegraph was able to confirm Georgia's inclusion into the field after a Cayman Islands television station reported the Bulldogs were added.

Other teams slated to participate are Clemson, Creighton, St. Bonaventure, Illinois State, Boise State and Akron. An eighth team has yet to be added to complete the tournament's field.

Georgia hired Crean last Thursday and introduced him as its head coach a day later.
