“Early season tournament settings against other postseason caliber teams is a great way for us to prepare for the SEC,” said Head Women’s Basketball Coach Mike Neighbors.
All Paradise Jam games will be streamed on ESPN3. Fans wanting to travel to Saint Thomas to see the Hogs play during Thanksgiving weekend can purchase a travel package that will be available for sell at a later date. For more information leading up to the tournament, visit paradisejam.com.
