If we draw Syracuse and Chaminade we might win 2.

Wow!!
Tremendous field!
We need to step it up and get a well rounded roster with snipability, physicality, hoppability, zoomability, swishability, switchability, invincability, and Shakability, to inflict relentless damage on these teams.

How much coffee did you drink before writing this?

Great field. Already looking forward to it. Hope we have some studs on the team by that point and can compete with those programs.

Just one cup S-Snoop. I'm fine.

Feels like you can pencil Kansas, UCLA, and Gonzaga into the top-10. Purdue and Tennessee probably into the top-20. We'll be expecting to have at least 3 senior starters and should be a top-25 team. Any time you look at a tourney that includes Chaminade and instantly think "well Syracuse is the fire hydrant in the dog park" you know that field is loaded.
-
Gonna start saving now
-
The only reason we won't go 4-0 against that dog of a field is because they'll only let us play 3 games!
-
I don't think Purdue is going to be all that in the future. The lost Steve Lutz and their defense dropped 50 + spots. Not to mention they will never find another Ivey.
If they stay top 50, I bet theyll be happy.

I'm not so sure about that. Edey, Morton, and Furst will all likely be seniors and I don't think any go pro early. Painter has proven pretty good at figuring it out, finishing top-30 in kenpom 13 of the last 16 years. He's done really well developing players. I don't think they fall off a cliff that fast, and the same could've been said about "they will never find another" when Carsen Edwards left.

Would people actually be inside versus enjoying Hawaii?

You can't do both? A day lasts 24 hours, even in Hawaii. If you sleep 6-8 hours, and go to a Marquette game for 2 hours, that leaves 14-16 hours a day to be outside. Depending on how long it takes you to use the bathroom each day.

Yep, was not a problem the last time my family went.

Marquette played Chaminade with the Amigos. Eventually lost to Duke in the Maui Final.
The last Gonzaga matchup was not in Maui, but a different tournament event. Can't remember which one. Maybe CBE?

I was right, it was the CBE Classic.

Corrected.
I have no results from Chaminade listed. Maybe because they aren't Division 1?

Correct. Marquette won what I assume was the only meeting, 74-63.

MU Overload seems to confirm there's only been one (recorded) meeting between the two schools.

I feel like Matt Painter is a seriously underrated coach.
He's been at Purdue for 17 years and only missed the NCAA tournament 3 times. They've finished in the top 3 of the Big Ten 9 times, won the Big Ten 3 times, made 6 S16s and one E8. You have to go back 40 years to count as many Marquette NCAA tournament wins as his teams have won.
Purdue will be a very solid team next season.

Agree. I've seen absolutely nothing in recent memory that would suggest to me that Purdue would be happy "if they stay top 50." Programs don't have the kind of success Purdue has had under Painter by accident.

He's done a great job at adapting to his roster and the changing game. They went from a grind you up defense with low-post scoring focus to a spread offense with three-point shooters everywhere to this year's offensive juggernaut. He's been good at figuring it out and I expect he'll continue to do just that.

I went last time. Not sure I will be able to pull it off this time as I am actually headed there in Fall of 2022, but wow --- what a field!

So basically, we historically suck against everyone in the tournament.

Our early NET ranking would be what after Maui?

I have zero recollection of playing Kansas in 2018.

WOW … great field
But, WOW … MU’s career record vs.
those teams is Pathetic. I mean …
1 - 7 v. Kansas. Yikes

Played them in Brooklyn, actually led at the half, then gave up a 22-0 run. MU beat Louisville in OT the following night.

After we beat Gonzaga, UCLA, and Kansas on consecutive nights we will debut at #1 in the NET. With additional wins over Notre Dame and Bucky to our credit.

That game depicted the season perfectly.
Awesome first half looking unstoppable offensively, but getting dominated in the 2nd half with no defense.
-
Looks like MU got the call because they needed another easy win other than Chaminade for the teams they want to advance.

You misspelled Syracuse. A lot can happen in the transfer era, but that roster looks awful.
-
Marquette is awful, and Shaka's gotta go. We'll probably have moved down to D3 by 2023, so I hope Maui will still have us.

They will. Those tourneys always need the easy outs so the good teams can advance.

Although just as likely is Marquette will win it all, people will think they are good, and come February they will tank in embarrassing fashion

From their experience, can you pay a premium and by tickets outside the arena? Any rough guess on price?

His man Traci " The Engine" Carter finally completed his career after 7 years.

The season flamed out, as scoop has discussed ad nauseam, but starting with the comeback in that Louisville game was the best stretch of basketball in the wojo era, it was a lot of fun to watch.
It was as fun as the stretch this years team had during “the gauntlet” but if I recall it lasted longer and that team was much better when it was clicking on all cylinders…
It was insight into what could’ve been with Coach Wojo, but alas.
Of course this years squad had a shorter, but also quite amazing run and then fizzled down the stretch in similar fashion, but the narrative and anger wasn’t quite on par with that season.
I know there are differences, I’m just saying. Oops I did it again…
-
They will. Those tourneys always need the easy outs so the good teams can advance.
Genuinely curious why you would waste time posting on a board of a team you only talk crap about? Take a step back and think about how you ended up here/where your life went wrong

-

Although pricier, the view of the games is much better from inside the arena. I would think the outside seating is free.

Sadly (mostly), I attended each of those games live. Maybe I should skip Maui?
-
This Tournament will be a great opportunity for MU.
The team will be very experienced under Shaka going into the tournament. Any current true sophomores that remain will be seniors . Our true freshman this past season will be juniors . The incoming freshman will have a year under their belt . This past years transfers will be going into their 4th year . What ever other transfers will also be experienced
Playing on a neutral floor in what is essentially a high school gym, I believe we can do very well. We will probably be the oldest team in the field
-
According to Marquette, though, all of our players will still be freshmen.
-
I'd love to go.
My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Maui during the tournament in 2008 (did not go to any games).
We happened to be staying at the same resort as Indiana.
While sitting poolside, I remember asking the mother of an Indiana player what she thought of the new coach and she was not a fan.
Good times.
-
For those who've gone, what's the best way to do it? Should we do the travel package through the Maui site or Marquette? Or is it better to plan our own travel and get the game tickets otherwise? I know it's just a 3-day event, but I have to think we'll try to stretch to at least 7-10 days because we won't get to Hawaii very often, so might as well take advantage. Is that something the travel packages allows for? What about alternate housing options like AirBNB or something similar?

My wife and I went back in 2012 and we purchased the package through Marquette-it worked well for us at the time. We're planning on going again next year with our three kids. I will probably explore the package again and see if it makes sense this time around.

The idea of sitting between fluffy and brew at a game in Maui has me thinking about early retirement.

Too bad Benny is retired from Scoop. I would answer, but I'd first start with your some questions as my answers will differ.
Is this your first time in Maui? Are you bringing the family? Do you want to Basketball Jones 24/7 or activities? Are you visiting other islands? Or just staying on Maui? How long?
For me, I avoid the package tours like the plague. I have two poor experiences on what is a premium price.
One in Newark for the NCAA I got moved to an overflow hotel. No tour company concierge at the hotel, no bus to the game as that was for the team hotel. No problem but that is what they upcharged me for.
The second in the VI. I got moved from the team hotel to another hotel on the other side of the island. Upgrade to a luxury hotel, no problem. But again, no bus, no team events so I needed a car and no drinking at team events.
Again, no problem other than I paid for that service but I was randomly moved to an inconvenience.
Maui is one I might sign up for the tour though. The Hyatt is family friendly. The other teams all stay right there so camaraderie is fun. All the tournament private events are are included if that is your thing. MU does a number of events.
That said, in Maui, I grab a condo, pass on the tour company and MU packages, and buy after tickets with Maui residents in August. $500 a night at the Hyatt doesn't get you much space with a family that a condo does. I'd rather save the tour and room cash for activities and food/beverage. No matter where to stay in a condo, you are a block or two from the beach.

In 2017, we rented 2 adjoining timeshares at the Westin Ka’anapali resort through Redweek.com. Flights from United. Game tickets through MU. Spent Sun to Sat in Maui. Took a Hawaiian Air puddle jumper to Oahu. Hilton Hawaiian Village for 6 nights. United had nonstop flights from O’Hare both ways. (Flight to Maui was 1/2 MU families.) Mass in Nanakuli at Fr Al Kim’s (MU grad 1976) traditional Hawaiian parish. MU did a great job in Maui with mixers etc. Probably will need 3 condos this time.

Who do we need to keep an eye on potentially leaving early from some of those schools? Wilson and Dick from Kansas surely will be gone right? Jaquez and Campbell could theoretically return for a covid year if I understand the rules correctly? I'd be okay if we never have to face Edey again, but would he even leave considering how he projects as a NBA prospect, plus I'm sure Painter will find some 7-6 monster out there like he always seems to do. Timme should be gone, but what about Strawther? I know nothing about Tenn roster other than Aidoo. We might not be the favorite, but seeing as we could potentially return our entire rotation and the tournament is early in the season when teams with new additions might still be figuring it out, I wouldn't bet against us.

A group of us are going to Maui for the first time and hope to get tickets. We've rented a house for the week so we won't be getting one of the all inclusive packages through the school. The tournament has told us that they anticipate the entire allotment of tickets for just the Marquette games will be sold through the package deals. The university has told us that right now they only have package information. The 12 game ticket only packages through the tournament are currently sold out and we're on the waiting list (even though we really only want tickets for just the Marquette games). Anyone have any insight from past years of our chances of getting tickets. Thanks for any help.

The tournament has told us that they anticipate the entire allotment of tickets for just the Marquette games will be sold through the package deals. The university has told us that right now they only have package information. The 12 game ticket only packages through the tournament are currently sold out and we're on the waiting list (even though we really only want tickets for just the Marquette games). Anyone have any insight from past years of our chances of getting tickets. Thanks for any help.
I had no problem getting tickets to just the Marquette sessions last time they were in Maui. I will admit I was buying for 2, not 8 though.

We're only going to need three tickets. The women are going shopping.

There’s several of us who rented townhomes in Lahaina. Several are experienced bball tournament vets. I’ll follow their lead on how to get tickets. I’ve been told it’s not an issue if you don’t get a travel package.

How do you get tickets without the package? It looks like it's all or nothing?

I'm not so sure about that. Edey, Morton, and Furst will all likely be seniors and I don't think any go pro early. Painter has proven pretty good at figuring it out, finishing top-30 in kenpom 13 of the last 16 years. He's done really well developing players. I don't think they fall off a cliff that fast, and the same could've been said about "they will never find another" when Carsen Edwards left.
I think Edey goes pro. He is a top Center on a Top 10 team. I think he leaves for the early-mid first round. He is 7-4 and averages a double double. I think Purdue will still be good but not as good. I see them being the 4-6 best team on the list next year depending on what happens with other rosters.

He did post that in April of 2022, before Edey came out with his national player of the year campaign, to be fair.

I messaged someone at the ticket office today and they said season ticket holders were getting priority for the packages and couldn't guarantee they'd be available to the general public.

I understand from others that we can get tickets directly from the promoter later this summer.
Kemper sports. Late August I hear.

That’s what we did five years ago

Pro tip: It will be cheaper to buy 8 tickets and make them attend.

KenPom rankings show an even more loaded field:
Tennessee #2
UCLA #4
Purdue #5
Marquette #8
Kansas #10
Gonzaga #18
Syracuse #81
Chaminade NR
If the tournament was today, at least one top 10 team would end up in the loser's bracket. That's nuts
According to Wikipedia Syracuse is undefeated at 10-0 in Maui.

Everyone this thread gets bumped, I think about the lost opportunity to name the thread "2023 Maui Wowie"

Goes pro where, Europe? No floor stretching ability and I'm not sure he's mobile enough to defend in the NBA. He'd get a late second round flyer, but as we've seen with Tshiebwe and Timme this year, he could make more coming back to school.

Thanks to all who responded with ticket info. We'll keep our eyes and ears open.

Chaminade is playing every other year now, I believe.

Even years they play in “mainland” bracket. Odd years, Maui

I was not aware of this, thank you for informing me. Dunno why the Maui Jim Maui Invitational's own website couldn't lead me to that information.

I'm in Maui for my honeymoon and on my 3rd different spot of the trip - Hyatt Regency in Kaanapali. Team stayed here in 2017. I highly recommend.
Stay in Lahaina. Not Wailea.
Ritz is dated but was almost the same price as Hyatt Regency.
