Holiday Tournament Thread

[Floridaduck]

A lot of interesting games coming up as the Holiday Tournament season comes up. Trips to exotic locations for the players, match ups that are no longer a home game versus The Little Sisters of the Poor, etc. Please comment about your favorites.

My eye is on the North Shore Showcase In Laie, HI which is a 3 team round robin featuring Oregon, Georgia Tech, and South Dakota State. While I am happy that all the players get a lovely working vacation in Hawaii, the "tournament" is a little odd. It is held at the BYU-Hawaii campus... not sure about the facility or ability to draw spectators. It is televised (only?) through Baller TV, a fairly obscure subscription service. The schedule has GT vs SDSU on Saturday then a day off (Sunday). Oregon plays GT on Monday, then SDSU on Tuesday... back to back (ouch). SDSU has two days off between games.

Dear heavens, please tell me that's not the case??!!???? BallerTV rivals FloHoops for frustrating streaming quality and poor production, especially during AAU season. If they've hired announcers and people who will do more than put an iPad on a tripod to record the game, I'd be amazed.
