Charlotte to play in 2013 Puerto Rico Tip Off

Per multiple sources, the Charlotte 49ers will be playing in the 2013 Puerto Rico Tip Off tournament next year.  The field also includes Michigan, Florida State, Auburn, Georgetown, Kansas State, Long Beach State, and VCU.  The tournament is usually aired on ESPN.

The 49ers should have a solid team next year and will have a chance make a statement against top competition early in the season.  Charlotte loses star center Chris Braswell after this year, but brings in a Top150 recruit in shooting guard Shawn Lester, who was a 2012 recruit, but is sitting out this season to become academically eligible.

And yes, I will be saving up to go to this starting this every second.
