Awful refs. Awful commentary. Awful play and coaching for 2 games. Time to take our 3 wins and RUN.

Phew...we won 3 games...awesome. Glad to hear we came back to beat MSU and won the title over Baylor.Awful refs. Awful commentary. Awful play and coaching for 2 games. Time to take our 3 wins and RUN.
True. And I'm glad we didn't get hammered by Baylor at this point in the season. I'd like to think by year end we could be competitive against them. It's a big ask.We went 2-1 vs NCAA tourney teams and could have beat MSU. I don't think we were beating Baylor, but overall I'd say it was a productive trip.
Agree on the commentators - it was painful to listen to across three games. Second rate announcers at best. Come on ESPN - great lineup of teams in a great location and you could not send better announcers?!I've never seen commentators officiate games like they did at this tournament. The referees were atrocious. Games were too close together. I hope we never play this event again.

I dont know - he seemed to just repeat himself too much and complain about things too much like he was a fan and not a broadcaster.I liked Dykes.
It was. Different.
Dykes is OK. He mostly does SEC games, so I would think this was probably the first time he’s called a UConn game. As far as Karl Ravech goes, It’s just strange hearing him call basketball since he is so synonymous with baseball.I've never seen commentators officiate games like they did at this tournament.

Just because we lat to M State and M State got blown out by Baylor...doesn't necessarily mean we would have lost to Baylor. Yes, Baylor is damn good and elite and dangerous....but we would've been pump after 2 victories over Auburn and M State (2 NCAA tourney bound teams anyway) getting ready to topple the 6 team in the country.True.

1-1 vs tourney teamsWe went 2-1 vs NCAA tourney teams and could have beat MSU. I don't think we were beating Baylor, but overall I'd say it was a productive trip.
Agree. Atlantis has now surpassed Maui as the premier November Tournament. Im sure travel has a lot to do with that. Maui Is great, but Paradise Island/Atlantis In the Bahamas is a great place as well, and It’s about 10-12 hours closer for most schools.This is now the best preseason tournament in the country, we'll be back
The officiating was awful, especially at the end of MSU and vs VCU (both opponents play physical FWIW)
You don't think all 3 of those teams will make the NCAA tourney?1-1 vs tourney teams
VCU will notYou don't think all 3 of those teams will make the NCAA tourney?
People on this board like to live in magic world, so the fact VCU is an A-10 team with a 3-4 record, 2 quad 3 losses already on their resume, and a small number of chances for real quality wins going forward is irrelevant. They looked solid against us, so they’re going to make the tournament lol.VCU will not
