Travel Packages are now available for the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament on November 23-27 at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. After having traveled with the team the last time we played in the Bahamas, I can only imagine that the weather during that time will be much better there than here! Certainly a delightful way to spend Thanksgiving!
The Tournament features some great basketball teams including UMass and defending national champion Connecticut. Florida State, Harvard, UCF, Utah, the College of Charleston, and UNC Asheville round out the tourney field.
That page also has a pretty cool video showing how they turned a Ball Room at the Resort into a basketball court.
