From Syracuse to paradise: Photos, observations from reporters at Battle 4 Atlantis

Paradise Island, Bahamas — Beat reporters Donna Ditota and Mike Waters are in the Bahamas to cover the Syracuse basketball team's games in the Battle for Atlantis.

The Orange's first game in the tournament is Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.

In between following Jim Boeheim and the team, they're getting a good look around. Here is what they see.

I arrived late Monday night to a fairly desolate Atlantis property. The only noise came from a group of Bills-Patriots fans who were watching the game on a huge TV in my hotel lobby. The place shut down that night, but a day later, it was a beehive of activity, with people strolling one of the main promenades deep into the evening.
