In some news vaguely alluded to by some here yesterday.

Some good news after the initial disappointing scheduling news.

Quote:
The Texas A&M women's basketball team will no longer be participating in the originally scheduled Las Vegas Invitational and will instead face off against Purdue on Dec. 21 at 1 p.m. inside Reed Arena.

The Las Vegas Invitational was slated for Dec. 20-21 and the Aggies were set to play Dayton and Purdue during their stay. However, all three squads have elected to not participate in the tournament.

I worked this one as a producer on the TV broadcast and it was a MESS. Basically, those teams (and our broadcast company) were promised an arena and lots of fanfare, then we all arrive and they just threw down a court and 30 folding chairs.

The one we were scheduled to play in is run by the same people but was going to be held in a completely different hotel/casino, but I can see why teams would want to refuse playing there.
