Holy cats, about $715 from 11/21-11/25, the day before and after the tourney. That is a pretty darn good deal. How much are tickets to games?

You can slepe on the beach to save money. Or drive.

Apparently all of the laundry in NE Iowa is done.

He's right you can sleep on the beach to save money. And if your car is properly equipped you can take the Bimini road.

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

Just got this via email from Travelzoo. The dates work (at a slightly higher price than advertised for the November dates). Would be staying at a less expensive (but still very nice) motel nearby, but would have free access to Atlantis amenities. Price would be bumped up a bit for a Midwest departure, but this looks like a viable option.

Re: Fly With the UNI Panthers to the Bahamas

The University of Northern Iowa men's basketball team will be taking part in the 2012 Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas on Nov. 22-24. Travelers interested in flying with the UNI Panther men's basketball team on the trip can purchase the cost of the flight and game tickets for $1,100.

The flight will be a non-stop charter flight from Waterloo to Nassau and returning non-stop to Waterloo. The charter will leave the Waterloo airport on Tues., Nov. 20 and will return to Waterloo Sun., Nov. 25. All travelers will need a valid passport to enter the Bahamas.

Flight reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. A $250 non-refundable deposit (per traveler) will be required when making the reservation. The remaining balance will need be to be paid by Sept. 1, 2012, or the reserved seats will be released to those on the waiting list.

For flight reservations, contact UNI's director of men's basketball operations Derrik Netten at 319-273-7609 or via email at [email protected]. Checks should be made payable to UNI Athletics - Atlantis Trip.

The eight teams taking part in the 2012 Battle 4 Atlantis include: UNI, Duke, Louisville, Memphis, Minnesota, Missouri, Stanford and VCU.

Thanks for posting this, Earl. We just got off the waiting list! Woo!

Gary Parish (our old friend...) just tweeted--

@GaryParrishCBS: Not certain, but I think the bracket will be seeded like this: 1. UL. 2. Duke. 3. Memphis 4. Mizzou 5. Minnesota 6. VCU 7. UNI 8. Stanford

Which would probably give us Duke in the first game which would be amazing. Not many better ways to make a splash than beating Coach K and Duke.

Now he tweeted that we are probably the 8 seed

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

I'd rather have Duke for namesake, but Louisville will likely be the better team next year, and could be ranked as one of the top 2-3 teams in the country. Tremendous opportunity for us.

i would rather win. beating UL would be tremendously more difficult than beating duke.

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

Duke seems like a better match up.

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

I really hope we are the 7 seed. This way even if we lose in the first round we still get a shot at another BCS team by playing the loser of Mizzou/Minny.
