TEMPE, Ariz. – Triple Crown Sports today announced the Arizona State women's basketball team will be one of 10 squads traveling to Mexico to participate in the 2017 Cancun Challenge taking place Nov. 23-25 at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya on the Yucatan Peninsula.
The 13th edition of the women's event includes long-respected powers from major conferences and a mix of mid-major teams.
Joining the Sun Devils in the Mayan Division of the tournament will be Columbia, Green Bay and Mississippi State. Participating in the Riviera Division will be Indiana State, Marquette, Montana, Oklahoma State, South Dakota and Tennessee. Matchups and schedules will be announced later this spring.
This will be the fourth visit (2005, 2007, 2013) to the Cancun Challenge for the Sun Devils, who won all three of their games during their most recent appearance in 2013.
The Cancun Challenge is one of the premier basketball events held each year and was rated as a top-five preseason tournament by Sports Illustrated in 2014. Teams stay and play at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. The resort's convention center ballroom is converted into an arena, which provides fans a special close-up view of the games.
Seating is limited for this exclusive event, and all fans should book land travel packages through Triple Crown Sports for admission into games in Mexico.
