Cayman Island Classic Canceled for 2020

GEORGE TOWN, GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS — The Cayman Islands Classic basketball tournament has been canceled due to the NCAA changing the starting date of college basketball this season.

The NCAA announced on September 16 that the college basketball season would be pushed back from its original start date of Nov. 10 to Nov. 25 because of the coronavirus pandemic. It also reduced the number of games each NCAA team can play this season.

The eight-team Cayman Islands Classic was scheduled for Nov. 23-25 with the field including Kansas State, La Salle, Miami, Ole Miss, Nevada, Oregon State, UNI and Western Kentucky.
