Last year, Virginia went to the Bahamas and won the Battle 4 Atlantis. That was probably a fun trip for the players. This year, they get to travel to … Connecticut. Nothing wrong with CT, but it’s definitely not the Bahamas. The Air Force Reserve Tip off Tournament also does not have the same quality in the field as the Battle 4 Atlantis did last season, but playing at the Mohegan Sun, which has a real arena and a WNBA franchise, might be better than playing in a converted ballroom.
The No. 7 Cavaliers are coming off their first test of the season, a close fought game against Vermont.
