3 schools withdraw from Vegas women's tourney
Dayton, Purdue and Texas A&M have withdrawn from the Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic as part of continuing fallout from a similar women's basketball event at a Strip resort over Thanksgiving weekend where safety concerns were raised.

"The five teams that are going to be at the South Point were five teams we already had," Seymour said. "To be honest, our other five are happy they (the three that withdrew) aren't there anymore because they like it as a non-Power Five event. We took those three to help. It's OK. It's really actually better for us because they're not there this year for that particular event."
These are just sad comments from an unprofessional tournament. I don't blame these 3 teams from backing out.
