Looks like a great host resort/hotel. But I'm hoping maybe they will have some decent packages offered. Rooms are $600/night on their website.

Will be very interesting to see who the other 3 teams are.

Is this a change? I thought their tournament had been set for a while and they were just waiting to see who was in the field.

I just looked and it's as low as 491. 440 if you prepay.
Correction, they add on a resort fee at check out, adding 70/night

These things are always crazy expensive to go to. I got the email already from Purdue:

Travel packages are land-only and include:

// 3-night hotel accommodations (Nov. 19–22)

// Game tickets to all sessions (Nov. 20–21)*

// Baha Mar Hoops Welcome Party, Happy Hour, and Pregame Party

// Round-trip airport transportation between the resort and NAS or MYNN

// Daily breakfast vouchers

// JPC staff on-site hosts

// Tournament souvenirs, fun surprises, and more!

Pricing starts at $3,625 per guest for double occupancy and $5,300 for single occupancy. Final cost will vary based on room configuration. Please note: pricing is the same for both adults and minors.

Oof. I'm not sure Final Four trip costs wouldn't be cheaper.

Yeah, that seems ridiculous to me. But maybe to others that's a bargain. I was hoping the packages would be more reasonable. But I'm glad they are going to a good tournament. Hopefully the field will be strong. It was last year.

I hadn't seen any announcement of where we were going until this. I looked a couple weeks ago and didn't find anything.

Should be much closer to our time zone. Sad that the costs are so high that only thr ultra wealthy can afford to go.

Looks like we should sweep this one since nobody else is playing in it.

Will be interesting to see lineup. Maui and Atlantis look as bad as I've ever seen them. Is everyone going out to Vegas for the tourney that has big payout?

Yep. Welcome to college basketball.

Unfortunately, Tennessee played in this tournament last year, so we can't play them (again).

Well, for those that have time, try to determine potential Baha Har teams by eliminating any P5 teams that have been announced that are playing in other Holiday tournaments during this timeframe. Certainly no other B1G teams.

Oh to have that time!
