November 24, 2014

Basketball organizers Plan BC3 and the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation are once again bringing leading institutions women’s college basketball programs to Puerto Vallarta for a tournament this Thanksgiving week to help raise awareness, support, and money towards research for urea cycle disorder.

Update: The final two days of the 2014 Hardwood Tournament of Hope were cancelled due to an unspecified facility conflict. UTEP, Kansas State, LSU, and Santa Clara were all originally slated to play three games in three days - November 25th - 27th - but the aforementioned scheduling conflict at the Puerto Vallarta International Convention Center ultimately forced the cancellation of the remainder of the tournament.
