Island Division

On Thanksgiving, Tennessee beat Missouri 82–44, while Georgetown beat Georgia Tech 67–58.[3] The next day, 12th ranked (AP) Georgetown lost to unranked Missouri 54–45, while Tennessee beat Georgia Tech 66–42.[4] On the final day of the tournament, Georgia Tech beat Missouri, 61–46.

The other final game matched up Georgetown, with a 1–1 record, against Tennessee, who were ranked 4th in the AP poll. Georgetown's Sugar Rogers, who has not played particularly well in the first two game of the tournament, had 28 points to help lead her team to an upset victory over Tennessee. The Hoyas opened up with an 11–4 run and never trailed. Tennessee out rebounded Georgetown 42—24, but committed 29 turnovers. Both teams shot about 40% from the field, but the Hoyas had an advantage beyond the arc, hitting 10 of their 18 three point attempts, while the Volunteers hit only three of 18 attempts.[5][6] The two team ended with 2–1 records, but with the head-to-head tie breaker, Georgetown was awarded the Championship of the Paradise Jam, Island Division.[2][7]

Reef Division

West Virginia beat TCU on Thanksgiving 62–49,[3] then beat Virginia 57–43,[4] and on Saturday, beat 17th ranked Iowa State to go 3–0 in the tournament, and win the Reef Division Championship.[2][8]
