I talked to Kelly Weatherman in the Athletic Foundation. The hotel package/rates quoted in the email from the 49er club is from the tournamentās Official Travel Agency (Basketball Travelers, Inc.). There are better rates available but rooms are going fast because Agencies like Basketball Travelers buy rooms in advance.
Anyways, the rates offered by Changes.com for Marriott Frenchmanās Reef Resort are the best I found.
The package offered by Basketball Travelers isnāt that bad considering you can get Waterview room, tickets, plus transportation to and from tournament and airport.

Wonder why they didnāt match Winthrop against MArshall and the Shockers in the first round?? As it is they would only play in the finals.

I was hoping to see that as wellā¦
jim posted otherwise remember? generally i take all of Jim's information as good as gold. His source was confused by the way he asked the question.
Whatever man, you didnt just go by Jimās ācluesā. You were so desperate to be right that you made of a bunch of Kummer quotes to make yourself look right.
I find it interesting that we have a nice, intriguing schedule next year, BUT we have a team that does not appear to have anywhere near the talent to compete well in it. Ahhh, timing. This time next year weāll be sitting here awash in the mediocrity that has haunted NINER ball forever. Why donāt we get these kinds of games in those rare years when we have pretty good teams? Going 0-3 or 0-4 next year against the ACC will only more solidify this rap on us (especially locally). DANG!
I want to know WTF our piss poor athletic program wonāt nut up and make these home gamesā¦HOME games! I absolutely hate the idea of playing these games downtown!

The acc opponents want to get some experience in Bobcat Arena.
Most of these teams refuse to come to Halton.
If you had read the Observer during the past 10 years, you would have known about #2.
