In '09 we beat Xavier and Mich on our way to losing in the Championship by one to FSU. If you recall, that was the year Solomon Alibi hit a game winner with 11 seconds remaining AND, in a somewhat recurrent theme for Buzz's MU teams, we failed to get a shot off for the win.
Should be exciting!!!
Very nice measuring stick for our new squad -
Milkhouse is a great atmosphere.
Hopefully we'll have a frontcourt to compete in this tourney as Luke won't be eligible until mid-December.
Agree - things could get ugly down there if we're relying solely on Taylor up front - really hope Pierce is still in the fold - gotta think he'd be encouraged about the opportunity here even with Fisher since he'll only have two and a half years in the program

The names in the tournament are decent, but Tenn is graduating 4 seniors, MSU is graduating several seniors, KU - is that kentucky or kansas? Either team will have huge losses in the off season. GT, Rider, Rhode I. Santa Clara..... does anyone know anything about these teams? Otherwise the field turns weak, once you see who's graduating.

Either of the KU's will reload with first rate talent and be tough.
Be great for a smaller, quicker and more aggressive team to succeed here. I think Wojo's story and style suggests this approach. Hey wasn't UConn kind of like that?

Not to nitpick, but Junior's shot against UCONN wasn't a "last-possession" following a timeout. Neither did a couple of JFB's shots. I think you should only blame/commend a coach on end-of-game situations based strictly on those situations that come out of a timeout.
Back on topic, Benny B's already got flights booked to MCO for the whole family... going to be the first time with three kids (18mos, 4 and 5) on a plane. But that's going to be the easy part. The hard part is going to be trying to avoid the remainder of Disney at all costs for a whole week... there's only so much of Kissimmee one can handle.

Yeah, good luck with that. You would be better off leaving the kids with Grandma.
If you do have to visit The Mouse, here is my one piece of advice:
Squeeze the two older kids into a stroller. It prevents them from wandering off and lets you be in charge of the itinerary. Also keeps them from getting tired out from all the walking.

A one day visit to the mouse is going to cost you more than (3) nights of hotel with a large pool & waterslide in Central Florida. Make it two days visit and it'll be more than you're whole week. Your kids are probably too young for Harry Potter, but a two days pass to Universal is only slightly more than one with the mouse. Thankfully my kids are not "Disney People" and two visits there (to see 3 parks) only reinforced it. Their first choice was to go see Harry Potter at Universal and they would like to re-visit, but it turns out their favorite park of the three was Sea World (which is the least expensive).
Since the Lego Movie came out they've been asking about LegoLand.

One other piece of advice on The Mouse. Picture a mouse with an enormous vacuum cleaner that he wants to put in your wallet. Everywhere you turn, there is The Mouse with his vacuum, and you are powerless to keep his vacuum out of your wallet. Become comfortable with that image. Embrace that image. Become one with that image.
If you are successful, your visit to The Mouse will go just fine.

Two years ago, spent 6 days at Disney. Customer service sets the standard by which all others are measured. When I went over to Universal with my then 17-year-old daughter who's life would simply not be complete unless she saw the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I was struck by how merely normal customer service seemed incomplete. There was a week or a piece of trash on the ground that wasn't immediately picked up. Nobody told me to have a magical day. My now 7-year old still talks about the trip, though, two years later.

I specifically remember two of JBs buzzer beaters his senior year after timeouts and buzz frantically scribbling on his white board. The 1st one they wasted precious seconds passing the ball around the top of the key and JB wound up with the ball at the top of the key with 5 seconds left. Out of desperation he drove down to the right base line and put up a short jumper over a 7 ft 2 inch defender in his face. In the 2nd buzzer beater the ball was deflected and heading out of bounds on the right baseline when JB raced for the ball, grabbed it just before going out of bounds, and turned back to put up a fade away from 12 ft that went over the back of the backboard and when in. There was a late 3ptr this year by Todd Mayo after another frantic white board scribbling timeout where they wasted precious seconds passing the ball around the perimeter and then passed it to TM 3 feet outside the 3 pt line on the left wing and he made a nba plus 3 with 5 seconds left. In a post game interview Todd said one of the assistant coaches grabbed him as the timeout huddle broke and told him if you get the ball shoot it. If these where the plays that Buzz drew up in the timeouts at the end of these games he should have been fired a long time ago.

So the question is whether it's better to book the package or to "self-book." Generally speaking, I don't know, but in my limited experience, I would suggest self-booking if you can do so well in advance (when hotels and car rentals are generally cheaper).
Here's the thread discussing the Maui 2012 travel package which was offered by Anthony Travel who is, incidentally, also putting together the packages for Old Spice 2014:
http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=32454.0
The Maui package was $4,700 for two people which included 6 nights, airport and game transportation, tickets, a luau, and some souvenirs. I self-booked at the team hotel and a rental car in May when the rates were cheap ($2,300 all-in). "Booster" tickets (to MU games only) were something around $300pp IIRC, and the luau was another $120pp. So my wife and I assembled the exact same package as the travel agency minus the souvenirs (but IMO, even better since I had a rental car instead of being restricted to a shuttle) for about $1,500 less than the package.
Now that being said, there are advantages to going with the package... namely, peace of mind. Anthony Travel had reps at the team hotel and the Civic Center all week. Some people also don't like to wait until tickets go on sale to the general public (the travel package guarantees tickets, self-booking does not and tickets don't go on sale until Aug/Sep). The question was whether it was worth $1,500, and for me, I can say unequivocally, it was not. However, the "rack" rate of the Maui hotel if you booked in Aug (when tickets went on sale) was over $400/night. Car rental prices were double what they were 90 days prior; so if you waited until Aug/Sep to book, the $1,500 savings would have dwindled to around $200.
As it pertains to Old Spice 2014, AFAIK the team hotel has not been announced, so it's hard to say at this point whether the package will be a good deal or not, more information will come out next month. Other than airfare (which it may be a good idea to wait another month or two), the only thing that's worth doing right now is getting a "safety-net" reservation booked at a hotel... something you'd be comfortable with that has a good rate right now and no cancellation penalty should you book a different hotel/package at a later date.

How is Terry these days? Tell him Benny loves his character on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
for Disney, the problem with waiting until the packages come out is dining at Disney. We took the kids on 09 and booked through the travel agent in September. We went to the games and 3 days at the parks. by that time all the themed disney character dining is sold out.
this year, we have already booked our disney trip for the week on our own so we can plan and book everything ahead of time. just going to buy tickets when they go on sale.

Last time I took my kids to Disney they were about 5 and 7. We waited forever to meet Mickey and got our pictures taken with him. Afterwords, I said to my daughter, "Wasn't that exciting! You met Mickey Mouse!" She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, it's just a guy in a costume."

A little different from my sister who used to be so scared of people in costumes.

Sounds familiar. My older daughter who was 11 at the time just wanted to get a t-shirt to show she visited Disney. The woman behind the cash register mentioned to her there was going to be autographs across the street in 15 minutes. She asked my daughter if she got lots of autographs today. My daughter said, "None." The woman said the kids always like to get autographs from the characters and she was missing out. My daughter just shrugged her shoulders said "thank you" and we left.

2016
Word on the street just as the C-7 split was upon us was that they were trying to get back to Maui in 2016... however, that was under the LW regime, so who knows now. BE won't have an entry in the field in 2014 & St. Johns is going in 2015. Georgetown hasn't been since 2011 and Nova since 2003.
2015
MU isn't eligible for Wooden, Maui or Old Spice in 2015.
MU is eligible to play in the Paradise Jam again in 2015, but that field's already been set; if MU had an invite, I would think they would have announced by now.
Butler is committed in Puerto Rico, Seton Hall is slated for Charleston.
Other high-profile tourney possibilities:
2K, Legends, Coaches v. Cancer, Barclays, & NIT Tip (NYC)
CBE (KC)
HOF Tipoff (CT)
Diamond Head (Honolulu)
Cancun, Atlantis, Las Vegas
When's the last time MU was in the preseason NIT? That's probably the best of what's left.

Xavier pulled out of the field weeks ago and will play in the Old Spice Classic in 2015. URI took their spot.
Was it tough for Xavier?

Oooo, I remember them. The ones we had no chance of beating in the NCAAs two years ago right?
