Cancun challenge

Wish I was there. Great venue to be so close to the court. Looking forward to tomorrow night. Shake off the last game and take care of business this week.
 
Those temporary raised courts scare me when active players like Basil race to save a ball heading out of bounds. Normally they just have to jump a table or crash into some fans, but here it looks like they'd fall four feet to the floor. Not good....

Ballroom turned into a basketball arena. Would be a great place to watch the Boilers. Tried to get the whole extended family to go this year for Thanksgiving but elderly parents couldn't do it so we decided against it. Maybe next year at Atlantis???

That is an optical illusion. Look closely at the corner and you see it is on the floor and the black scorers tables are raised. I had the same first impression.
 
I would like to see a game in that environment. Probably very odd to play in though

Flashback to another Thanksgiving holiday tournament in a tropical location and similar environment: I wonder if Basil is working on his Chris Kramer swim move to save the game should we end up facing Bruce Pearl's Auburn team in the final? That's still one of my all-time favorite plays for Purdue basketball (and at the expense of Pearl's Tennessee team).

Man I would love to have Kramer back.

With the rule changes you are correct. I hate them myself because it's forcing college basketball to be a NBA farm league.
Unfortunately talking heads like Bilas keep pushing the agenda even more every chance they get. Not surprising that rule changes/enforcement favor loaded teams like his Dukies! He would like to see a game where no contact is made whatsoever. I know I'm not going to win this one, but a guy can hope!!

I'm planning on attending the Atlantis trip next year-have always wanted to go and now I have a reason. :)
