The Wildcats were selected to play in the inaugural Junkanoo Jam November 15-18 at Bimini, Bahamas.
Weber State will play three games in the Junkanoo Jam and will be joined by the Central Michigan Chippewas of the Mid-American Conference (MAC), the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners of the Big West and the San Jose State Spartans of the Mountain West.
