Battle for Atlantis Tournament -- November 19-21

[UConnCat]

Thinking it would be fun to have separate threads for the top 3 upcoming holiday tournaments . First up is the Battle for Atlantis in the Bahamas which starts Saturday (Nov 19-21). The other 2 tournaments are the Phil Knight Invitational/Legacy (Nov 24-27) and Gulf Coast Showcase (Nov 25-27).

This thread is for pre- and post-game discussion and not game chats.

Here is the bracket for the Battle for Atlantis which I found at the SDSU website.

Other than the Championship game, are the other games available for "free" viewing? (ie, not on FloSports for example)

Don't think so unfortunately. Sometimes FloSports offers a promotional discounts to the fanbases of the schools attending. I recall seeing that for UConn last season.

FYI - it appears the times for the Texas v Marquette and UCLA v SDSU games got swapped. According to the bracket posted on the Battle 4 Atlantis website UCLA v SDSU tips off at 2:30 pm EST and Texas v Marquette starts at 5 pm EST.

Hooray for Tennessee! Maybe they can hang a "We beat Rutgers" banner right next to their "Transfer Portal Champion" banner.

“We beat Rutgers! We are back!”​

As much as I like all the pettiness towards Tennessee, leave Rutgers out of it.

Are you sure you are a Rutgers fan? Usually they’re pretty starved for attention

Texas not looking great. Down 6 at half but probably should be down more. Marquette is playing well.

Its been very hit or miss without Harmon for Texas. How long is she supposed to be out?

 

[Littlemin]

Marquette killing themselves from the line, 7-17

 

[Urshurak]

Texas was pretty hot against UConn. Can’t seem to hit the side of the barn tonight. Fouls are WAY up also. Half the team is either fouled out or has 4. Crazy. Marquette hitting FT’s late.

Not feeling so hot about our TX win after seeing this…..

Marquette pulls off the upset beating Texas 68-61

 

[Urshurak]

Texas loses to Marquette 68-61. Yikes….

 

[BballFan]

Happy for MU but feel like it makes our win less impressive. Makes me more worried about tomorrow.

 

[Littlemin]

Marquette made 14-16 foul shots down the stretch after starting 8-18; another Schaefer masterpiece; very, very tough, very, very ugly game

 

[jdote33]

Happy for Marquette. Jordan King was smooth! I've always liked Megan Duffy. She was a baller back in the day.
As for Texas, they looked out of sync. No one is really in rhythm or playing well. Without Rori and all the new pieces, they don't look too cohesive. Somehow all the supposed talent look very average. I don't think they are average but that's how they look. Their offense looks terrible without spacing. A bunch of dribble hand offs and forwards barrelling to the basket. And they are not great defensively. Respectfully though, still think they'll be good eventually.

Duffy is proving to be a good coach. Wonder how long Marquette can keep her.

I disagree, Marquette is good, a tough, veteran team.
