I wonder if Arkansas might end up playing the new ESPN-owned tournament in Myrtle Beach this fall. It is Nov. 15, 16 and 18 at Coastal Carolina’s home arena. I think it is called the Myrtle Beach Invitational.
From what I’ve been told, the Razorbacks were supposed to play in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off later this year, but it appears that event is going to be canceled because of all the problems on the island. At least two other teams that were supposed to play in Puerto Rico - West Virginia and Wake Forest - recently signed on to play in Myrtle Beach. Other teams that are supposed to play there are Cal State Fullerton, St. Joseph’s, UCF, Western Kentucky and Valparaiso.
I haven’t heard anything from Arkansas’ end about playing in Myrtle Beach. This is just an educated guess based on the fact Arkansas needs a tournament, Myrtle Beach needs another team and it is getting later in the scheduling process.
