Two womens college basketball tournaments in Puerto Rico have been moved because of concerns about the Zika outbreak.The San Juan Shootout held during Thanksgiving weekend will be played in Daytona, Florida. The Puerto Rico Classic will move to Las Vegas on Dec. 19-21.This is not an easy decision for us in light of our decades of relationships with our Puerto Rican partners, Sport Tours president Lee Frederick, whose company runs the events, said in a statement. However, we understand it is what the universities want at this time. The strength of our relationships in Daytona Beach and Las Vegas has allowed us to make the changes smoothly. We look forward to returning to San Juan in 2017 and beyond.The San Juan Shootout participants are Penn State, Georgetown, American, Clemson, Georgia State, Loyola Chicago, Troy, VCU, Villanova and Wright State. The Las Vegas field includes Cal, Oklahoma, Xavier, Arkansas State, Kennesaw State, Northern Kentucky, Portland State and Southern Mississippi.Multi-team events on islands are good competitions and good experiences for our team, but any risk above and beyond the risk of playing basketball isnt responsible of us, Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. While everyone wants to be in Puerto Rico, the main thing is the health and safety of our student athletes.Gottlieb commended Sports Tours for moving the tournament to Las Vegas on short notice. Cal played in Las Vegas last year during Thanksgiving.Our kids are resilient, Gottlieb said. We had conversations with parents as we didnt want them to lose money. Our players like Vegas. Well go to a show and have as fun an experience as possible. We get three games close to home where friends and family can come.Cal will face Oklahoma in Las Vegas. The Oklahoma mens team was supposed to be in Puerto Rico also at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament, which is run by ESPN. That was moved last month to Disney World in Orlando.The safety of our student-athletes, staff and fans are a top priority, Oklahoma womens basketball coach Sherri Coale said. While were disappointed in not being able to travel to Puerto Rico, we believe Las Vegas will be a great host for this tournament.A three-team Division III womens basketball tournament from Dec. 28-30 is still on in Puerto Rico.Frederick wrote in an email to The Associated Press that the Division III schools are braver and not controlled by ESPN.The mosquito-spread virus can cause severe brain-related birth defects, including smaller heads. As of last month, there have been more than 20,000 cases reported in Puerto Rico.Im well read up on Zika now, Gottlieb said. This is not Rio. Its not the Olympics, where you cant move a whole Olympics. I think its in the best interest of everyone.In May, the Marlins shifted their baseball games from the island to Miami because of concerns about Zika.

The Trojans reached the NCAA Tournament last season after winning just five Pac-12 games the previous two years under coach Andy Enfield.They have some holes to fill this season after their second- and third-leading scorers left school early only to be undrafted and four other players transferred after going 21-13 and losing to Providence by one point in the opening round of the NCAAs.But the starting five should more than pick up the slack, along with some transfers and four freshmen.The Trojans were picked to finish seventh by the media in the Pac-12. They had just two league victories in Enfields first season, three in 2015 and nine last season, when they went .500 in league play.We lost a couple top players to the NBA draft early, Enfield said, but the nice thing for our program is we had some returnees that were talented and we still think we can compete.The Trojans were the second-highest scoring team (80.5 points per game) last season and could bump it up this season.USC will be seeking a return trip to the NCAA Tournament and its first victory there since 2009.They open the season against Montana on Nov. 11 at Galen Center, where they play five of their first six. Their non-conference schedule includes visiting Texas A&M on Nov. 18, hosting SMU on Nov. 25 and playing BYU at Staples Center on Dec. 3.Some things to watch for this season with USC:FRONTCOURT: It appears to be the biggest question mark, with sophomores Chimezie Metu (6-11) and Bennie Boatwright (6-10) the only returnees over 6-5. Metu averaged 6.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 18.5 minutes as a freshman last season; Boatwright averaged 11.5 points and 24.4 minutes. Boatwright tied for the team lead with 60 3-pointers. Metu added 15 pounds over the summer.ADDITTIONS: The Trojans perimeter-oriented lineup adds three guards: Louisville transfer Shaqquan Aaron and freshmen Jonah Mathews and DeAnthony Melton.dddddddddddd Aaron is eligible after sitting out last season and will be eager to show what he can do. Mathews can shoot from long range and drive to the basket. Melton brings a defensive mindset. Forward Charles Buggs, a graduate transfer from Minnesota, will be eligible immediately. Forwards Harrison Henderson and Nick Rakocevic are 6-10 freshmen. Henderson could be a project whose skills need developing. Rakocevic, along with Buggs, could help replace Nikola Jovanovic, who averaged 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds before leaving early.BACKCOURT: Third-leading scorer Julian Jacobs (11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.5. assists) opted to leave early for the NBA draft. His absence turns the point guard reins over to Jordan McLaughlin, who led the Trojans in scoring with 13.4 points per game and shot 42 percent from 3-point range last season. After enduring shoulder injuries his first two seasons, the junior is healthy.REBOUNDING: Aaron figures to join junior Elijah Stewart and McLaughlin in the three-guard lineup. Stewart shot 43 percent from long-range last season and came up big with 27 points against Arizona before tailing off in five of the final six regular season games. Stewart and Aaron will be counted on heavily to rebound because of the Trojans lack of size. Our offense is kind of a run-and-gun 3-point offense, Stewart said.STAY HEALTHY: The Trojans will need to stay healthy because theyre short on depth after Darion Clark, Katin Reinhardt, Malik Martin and Malik Marquetti all transferred. Reinhard averaged 11.4 points last season. ' ' '
