I assume the reporter is just incorrect???

QuoteIndiana's men's basketball team will play four games in the Bahamas over Labor Day weekend.
[snip]
Indiana's games in the Bahamas could be played against several local teams - ranging from club level to the national team - and a squad representing Guatemala. But because there will be three other NCAA teams on the island that weekend - including Marquette and Old Dominion - that need to play games, a final schedule has not been established.

I emailed Chris (the author) and here was his reply to me.

I'm a Marquette and Indiana grad so your article today caught my attention. I'm not aware of MU playing in the Bahamas at all this season, are you sure that is correct? Marquette will play in Hawaii at the Maui Classic.

Any info on this would be great.

Thanks

I think you are right. That sentence was added later by a copy editor who looked at a brochure I had on my desk and misinterpreted it. I believe it's Clemson and Old Dominion that will also be on the island.

Thanks for noticing.

Chris
