ARIZONA STATE will be one of busiest during the holiday week, playing at Miami on Tuesday, before heading to the three-game Gulf Coast Classic starting with Villanova. The tournament field includes Connecticut as well as three other NCAA teams.

WASHINGTON will head to the Cancun Challenge, the tenth year of its annual classic, for faceoffs with Florida State, Furman and Hartford.

WASHINGTON STATE will fly to another international tournament, in Puerto Rico, for the San Juan Shootout, which has hosted teams since 1987. The Cougars take on Michigan and No. 10 Maryland.

Two separate two-day tournaments in Hawai’i will host OREGON STATE in the Westin Invite in Laie, and STANFORD in Honolulu with the Rainbow Wahine Shootout. The Cardinal will matchup with top-15 North Carolina on day one.

The Silver State will host two tournaments as well, in Las Vegas with the South Point Shootout featuring OREGON as one of its participants and Reno with the John Ascuaga Nugget Classic with UTAH. Two teams will host tournaments.
