There will be two games on Nov. 28 and 29, including the championship and third-place games.

Sponsoring this tournament "is one way we can say 'thank you' to San Diego for supporting Rady Children's for more than 70 years," Steve Jennings, senior vice president and chief external affairs officer at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego, said in a statement Wednesday.

Mark Neville, CEO of tournament producer Sports San Diego, said last year was ``amazing and this year's field will certainly be a sellout for both days."

Along with Rady Children's, Fox Sports, UC San Diego Athletics and Global Sports & Events, ``we endeavor to produce the best early season college basketball tournament in the country," Neville added.
