Phil Knight Invitational (2017)
« on: September 21, 2016, 03:24:06 PM »
This looks fun. Too bad MU isn't involved.


PK80- Phil Knight Invitational will be a two-tournament men’s college basketball event held in Portland, Oregon honoring Nike Co-Founder Phil Knight for his 80th Birthday and in recognition of his significant contributions to collegiate basketball. Sixteen college teams will participate in what will be the best collection of college basketball teams in one event, at a single site, in the history of the sport.
ESPN and the Rose Quarter will host one of the largest regular season tournaments in college basketball history with games taking place in both the Moda Center and the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The event will consist of two brackets of eight teams, with each bracket limited to one team per conference. Games will be played on Thursday, November 23; Friday, November 24; and Sunday, November 26. Stay tuned for the bracket announcement and game schedules.


Teams include: Butler, G'Town, UNC, UConn, Duke, Florida, Michigan St., Gonzaga, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Portland and Portland State.

They're really gonna regret not asking Marquette to play given they will be the defending champions at that point
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

I spend a lot of time in Portland for work. Given the choice of PDX or OGG, I'd take OGG any day of the week.

I'm sure our players would too!

OGG?!?  Only the haoles use OGG... everyone else knows that JHM is where it's at.


And I can't even believe there is any regret on this thread.  Maui Invite >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [insert tournament here].
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Yeah, I'm going to enjoy my trip to Maui a lot more than I would enjoy a trip to Portland.

Only 2 teams per conference allowed. Butler and Gtown got the nods for BEast, Oregon and Stanford for the P12.

Portland (well, more the surrounding area) is awesome.

I may make the Maui trip, I would not make the Portland trip.  I'm happy with what we have.

As a tourist, I'd rather be in Maui.

Qualified or not, I'm pretty sure that's the first time in Earth's history that someone has uttered the words "I'd rather be in Portland."

I'd (much) rather live in Portland than in Maui.

Benny, Dude, first I'm an admitted haole from the mainland. Second, if you're going "there," the place where it is "at" on Maui is HNM. You avoid the six hour drive down the coast (at night) and it's bizzare to get off the plane, have your plane take off for Lahaina and then see all the lights go out. It's pitch dark out there.

We were picked up by someone on a golf cart. That's a first!!!!!

HNM?  What..... I don't.... but..... meep.... THE DRIVE IS THE BEST PART, HANA! 

Honestly I'd rather be picked up at JHM in a pickup truck and driven to a golf cart because I'm actually going to be golfing three minutes after the bird is parked.  And I'm sure as hell not flying from HNM to JHM at night... as you said, it's darker than ____ out there.  And where the hell is Lahright?  Suppose it's opposite of Lahleft, aϊna?
