Do we know of any plans for future early season bball tournaments? I saw the field for the Virgin Islands and also the orlando tournament. Where are we headed next year or years to come?

I personally would like to see us play at the old spice in charleston. Great town and could travel.

Hall of fame tipoff next season. Florida and DFS are in the field.

Those of us at the P-Jam lobbied hard for the Charleston (Gildan Classic) tournament or the one in Orlando. I liked the one we went to in Vegas. The arena was down a corridor from the hotel and casino. We played UNC and BYU. The rumor is we will be invited back to the Paradise Jam in 2018. It's gotten so expensive to go there. This last trip was 2.5 times more expensive than the first one we went to 2005. It is great fun but I'm ready to try a place within driving distance...not necessarily the Connecticut one. The people I knew who went the other time we played weren't fans of that tourney.

Vegas is a must !

Not saying that we aren't a good team, but they sure set up florida nicely, i think.

Florida is struggling so far at 3-4, granted the losses were against pretty good teams I Miami, Georgetown, UNC, and Kansas.

Very nice line up and with both my grad alma mater (ODU) and undergrad (St Joes) Im going to start saving. The difficult part will be getting my wife to Connecticut in November.
