FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Southern Utah men's basketball team is set to compete in the 2021 edition of the Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off in Fort Myers, Florida. They will be a part of the Palms Division of the non-conference tournament competing on November 23 and 24. All games will take place inside Suncoast Credit Union Arena on the campus of Florida SouthWestern State College.

Milwaukee, Bowling Green, Southern Utah and Yale will make up the Palms Division of this year's Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off Tournament umbrella, joining the already-announced Beach Division teams of Florida, Ohio State, Cal and Seton Hall.

The Panthers, Falcons, Thunderbirds and Bulldogs will play one of the four Beach Division teams prior to arriving in Fort Myers, then each division will participate in its own four-team bracket during Thanksgiving Week.

"As we continue to make Southwest Florida a basketball destination during the non-conference season, the evolution of the Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off is a reflection of not only the strong appetite for basketball in the area, but also the desire for college basketball's top programs to compete against premier competition in one of the best vacation destinations in the country," said Mark Starsiak, Tournament Director of the Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off. "The combination of top-flight basketball talent and the unmatched sunshine and beaches of Southwest Florida will make for a memorable way to tipoff the 2021-22 college basketball season. We look forward to welcoming the teams and their fan bases to during Thanksgiving Week."

Final game schedule, tournament matchups and television designations will be announced later this summer. Beach Division contests will be held Nov. 22 and 24, while Palms Division matchups take place Nov. 23 and 24.
