RIVIERA MAYA — The Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya will be singing a different tune this November when it welcomes the 2016 Men’s and Women’s Cancun Challenge basketball tournament.

Upon arrival, fans and teams are treated like rock stars with the practices, games, world-class entertainment and unlimited dining/drinks. Previous champions include Vanderbilt (2008), Kentucky (2009), Missouri (2010), Illinois (2011), Wichita State (2012), Wisconsin (2013), Northern Iowa (2014) and Maryland (2015).
