Would you rather have a home basketball game or a better chance for a championship? As Mike said, they are playing an extra money game to pay for this trip.

But they're getting a lot more practice time and a chance to play together as a team.

And, the trips they took to Spain and Cuba both resulted in championship rings. No guarantees, but the chances are better for success.

Many would prefer to complain about anything basketball, good or bad.

so you're saying time spent together with no distractions help the team bond and through results shown make them better?

i kid, i kid

The first deadline for renewals is September 1. That is artificial of course. You will be able to renew later. Road schedule will have some challenges. I think we go to Texas. I believe there are 2 other money games with 1 paying for PR trip. I don’t know who those payday games are against. We usually play 2 of those. We play in a 4 team tournament in Asheville. Not sure who opponents are there. I think we go to McNeese and UNO as part of ongoing contracts. La Tech is supposedly coming to the Dome as part of that series. We lost a non conference home game with conference expansion. USM was supposed to come here as the back end of a home and home. Now we will play them twice as a conference opponent. I don’t know who else is coming to Dome but I am sure a couple of non D1’s are in there for budget purposes.

There may be distractions in Puerto Rico. I am sure there will also be planned visits to cultural sites. I get the football training camp tie in to previous post.

1 more year, and we can move on!!! #GeauxCajuns

….Is there a rate for the fans to go? Worked a few times at the Puerto Rico open…..great place for a lil getaway!

This trip works good as a recruiting tool.

However, the extra money game will go a lot farther way towards improving the tested quality of this team than the trip will.

Can they do 5 more money games?

Last year that Tournament in Asheville included Western KY, Princeton. South Carolina, and Minnesota....teams for this year have not been announced....https://ashevillechampionship.com/archives

Instead of playing an extra money game to pay for this trip, why not play an extra road game to buy out marlin?
