Puerto Rico Tip-Off

The Puerto Rico Tip-Off was an early-season college basketball tournament owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television that took place in late November of each year from 2007 through 2017, usually the week before Thanksgiving.

From 2007 to 2011, it was held in José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In 2016, plans to hold the tournament at Roberto Clemente Coliseum were scrapped due to a Zika virus outbreak in Puerto Rico, and it was held instead at HP Field House at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida,[2] temporarily renamed the Tire Pros Invitational for 2016.
