The Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off will give our team a terrific opportunity to play against high-caliber competition and we’re excited to be a part of it.

We always love the opportunity to play in front of fans around the state of Florida, and the Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off features really high-level competition. This will be a great early-season challenge for us, and it’ll also help prepare use for the challenges that lie ahead throughout the season.

Seton Hall Head Coach Kevin Willard
The Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off organizers have put together a solid tournament, and we’re looking forward to going down and competing against some excellent teams. Seton Hall fans always travel well to our holiday tournaments, and after not having that experience last year, we’re excited that our players will have Pirates fans in attendance supporting them.

The field will include four of the most competitive mid-major teams in the country, which will be great preparation for conference play.

This should be a great opportunity to continue separating ourselves as one of the best mid-major programs in the country.
