Have you seen the venue? It's a damn hotel ballroom. They just put a court down on top of some carpet and set up some folding chairs around it. Why on earth would you bring teams in to Las Vegas, including a top ten team, and not have them play in any of the assuredly many actual basketball venues within the city. Like, who agreed to this? I can't believe an actual game that counts is being played like this, and if Berger's injury is significant it'll be a real shame.

Yes. I'm watching. The venue is a joke.Ā

MRI was to be done when team gets back to Bloomington based on interview with CTM.Ā  Think they got back Sunday.

CTM said the court conditions weren't the reason for the injury to Grace.Ā  Grace was using crutches but not because she needed them.Ā  It was due to the long walks necessary in the hotel.Ā  I don't know where they stayed.Ā  CTM said quite diplomatically that the tournament didn't compare to the other major women's tournaments around the country.Ā  I inferred that she thought media coverage was not what it should've been.Ā  She also said they had only a few chairs for fans and no on-site medical personnel.

100% the court is not to blame for Grace's injury, I was watching.Ā

True Vega style - making you walk and meander unnecessary distances through the casinos anytime you want to get to your room.Ā
