thankfully its not the maui invitational - meaning theres zero chance of bill walton destroying the games broadcast as the color guy.

walton was clearly a good player and hes prob a nice fellow who knows his basketball - but like some other ex-players with big personalities in the color game, its just painful to listen to that dude

If I'm a college BB player and if I already went to the Maui tournament, I would LOVE to go to this one as this is in the Bahamas (80's and sunny!) and in the Atlantis resort which is just an over the top amazing resort.

Half the games for this torunament are on AXS and the other half are on ESPN/2:

I've seen some games on it. It's a pretty obscure channel that shows concerts most of the time so it's pretty odd it also does sports.

They exclusively own the rights to the CBI Tournament. 

Michigan actually played on AXS TV back when it was called HDNET in the 2010 Legends Classic at Boardwalk Hall.

For Comcast/Xfinity customers: it's part of the "Digital Preferred" package. We recently changed over from DirectTV but didn't have this required package to view "AXS" until last night. It's an additional $10/month (includes 150 channels I believe my wife said) and can be canceled at any time. Took about 10 mins to weave through their system before getting a live service rep and then 5 mins or so to get the upgrade. It'll help if you tell them to add the Digital Preferred package and make sure channel 382 (AXS) is included.

I have not watched a game on AXS. However,I just subscribe to it. There is a real possibility that  all of Michigans Atlantis games could  end up on this station. This all depends on how the brackets play out.I could stand to maybe miss one regular season game.I will not miss three.
