By now, everybody who follows women’s college basketball knows what happened in Las Vegas over the weekend.
The Las Vegas Invitational, which took place at The Mirage Hotel & Casino, made headlines for the wrong reasons. Disappointing broadcasts, injuries, and the incredibly underwhelming — and misleading — venue overshadowed any success teams had.
Games were played in a ballroom in the hotel, with incredibly minimal fan seating. The “scoreboard” was a TV that, beyond looking like an elementary school setup, was unplugged multiple times causing stoppages in the game. Paramedics took 45 minutes to arrive after an Auburn player was injured.
