Is this it for the preseason tournaments? Is this even a tournament? It's only two games. Not complaining about the teams, but this seems kinda meh if this is it.

Cool for the players and staff to go to the Bahamas, tho.

In the past, some of these have included a couple of home games against no-name competition as part of the event. I'm not really sure why or what that accomplishes.

We're the national darlings now. Any TV executive would get fired for not putting us on national television. Your services are a need of the past, Greg.

I can't imagine a tournament with K-State, Miami, Providence, and another top 25 or near top 25 team on flo hoops

This seems like it would be a very fun vacation. Have any of you Cat fans done one of the tourneys in the past?

I went to the Vegas tournament in 2008 when we lost back to back games to Kentucky and Iowa

I will have the stream because I don't think alot of people have CBS Sports Network which blows. That's the point of the streams to show games that are on networks the common folk don't always have.

I did the Oreillys tip off in PR when Denis was on the team and we were prime JYD cats and it was really awesome. Somewhere on this blog I kind of live posted it. Probably in premium

Why does the Baha mar hoops website make no mention of KSU playing there?
I only see a list of embarrassing scrubs, including Kansas City Roos listed.

I did the Huggs Vegas tournament with the Alumni Association. I was still in school (and went with a bud) but we were the youngest people there by about 30 years. It was pretty easy to chill and talk to some of the coaching staff at different times though.

Because you probably clicked the first thing you saw on the website and didn't look further. They run three tournaments, were in the elite one. The roos are in the one exclusively for mid majors. Oklahoma State is playing in their tournament that's just okay.

The tourney or the Bahamas in general? I have some friends that stay at the Hyatt there almost every year and they love it.

Is it because of the local music scene? Not really a reggae/ska guy? You were hoping Nassau would be more of a Bahamian Rap City?

Bahamas pro-tip: Port Lucuya > Nassau.

Source: me who has never been to Nassau but have heard tons of people complain about it. Lucuya is less crowded, cheaper and more authentic and laid back.
