Where is the outrage???

How dare they expect these men to play in less than ideal conditions!!

They should be in Arenas!!

Will the National Media pick up on this and call for changes?

Whats a G League?

Are you inventing outrage for something that no one is outraged about, or even cares about one way or another? That would be weird.

Guess I'm the only one to remember this.... (Women's College Basketball held a weekend tourney in similar conditions)

"This was a major miss in my opinion," Indiana head coach Teri Moren said in a post game press conference.

"We have an obligation to grow our game, and we completely missed on this opportunity because you have a lot of good teams that are here representing their conferences."

First, the venue wasn't what was described to the teams. A court was set up in the middle of a ballroom with no stands for spectators, just chairs pulled up to the side of the court.

Fans and basketball teams took to social media to express their disappointment claiming the tournament was a joke with a "bare-bones" setup. Several videos have gone viral on TikTok explaining how disgraceful the tournament setup was for the women's teams.

"What's disappointing is the aesthetics," Moren said. "It's not a fan-friendly environment. As women's basketball coaches, we're trying to move our game forward and it felt like because we got so many ticks on social we had taken a couple steps backwards in this moment."

The guys need outrage too!!!!!

Nobody was actually outraged about the women's tournament. Social Media posts isn't actual outrage. Social Media isn't the majority.

One of the players for Auburn went down with an injury and it took more than half an hour for paramedics to show up but I knows that detail doesn’t fit whatever it is you’re trying to do here.
