We've never attended a beach area holiday tournament - hoping to get one - has there been any announcement on Thanksgiving or Christmas tournament for next season?

Might not be one. We do one about 50% of the time. Here's the last ten years.

2022 - Phil Knight Inv, Portland - good games
2021 - Gulf Coast Showcase, Florida - meh, games
2020 - None. COVID cancelled or not scheduled at all.
2019 - None
2018 - Pre-season WNIT. Four home games at Hilton.
2017 - Junkanoo Jam, Bahamas
2016 - None
2015 - Cancun Challenge. - clobbered by Duke by 38 points.
2014 - None
2013 - None

After what happened at the Las Vegas Invitational last November I hope our administration takes a hard look at any of holiday invitations that are staged at hotel auditoriums and not real venues like the Phil Knight Invitational.

Auburn gal got hurt and it took EMT's like 50 minutes to get here. The tournament peeps had not medical folks on hand at all. And no security. There are AAU tournaments that are probably better run than some of these hotel sponsored **** shows.

The better trip would be the summer trip they are taking this yr. Th competition wouldn't be as good but the trip would be cool.

Tell me more.
It was first mentioned here:

Listened to the coaches show tonight, Bill bumped the summer trip up to this summer so the new freshman get to go along. He figures it will be a good way to get a jump on team bonding. (paraphrasing a little).

I would assume they could play but don't know for sure @acoustimac , @mred , @BoxsterCy, do you know the rule on this. They will be on campus so they should be able to play it would be the same as summer workouts IMO.


More recent posts specifically said Europe -- I'm assuming that came from somewhere.
