Great to see it is headed back to Lahaina Civic Center.
Lots of familiar faces on the team list. Feels like we play at least one of UNC, Michigan State, and Iowa State every year
It's an off-year for Chaminade, so there's that.I feel like it's the same group of teams in every tournament!
It can be pretty random. They might actually be early afternoon games. The champ games aren't late usually. If we're in like the 5th place game, yeah that might be lateLove the potential exposure and great matchups. Hate the likely late games.

That's the thing (at least with schools that are marquee names), two or three of them often end up within the same rotation.It kinda works that way.
You can only play in Maui once every X years. Same for all the other MTE's. And they want representatives from all the major conferences. And the marquee names will always go first.
So, if Maui has a chance to get UConn once every five years they're not passing over UConn for Butler or Seton Hall.
And that leads to certain schools getting in a rotational rut with others.

8th place finish where? You can’t be talking about the Big Easti'll feel better about an 8th place finish if we're coming off back to backs.
I will wait and see. I generally prefer never to play west of Lawrence.It can be pretty random. They might actually be early afternoon games. The champ games aren't late usually. If we're in like the 5th place game, yeah that might be late

I would like to go to Lahaina for the Maui Invitational. Where would you like all of us to stay? At traditional hotels? That's not rhetorical question, I am genuinely asking. I don't want to be a detriment to the people of Lahaina that wen through such a tragedy.I don’t see how Lahaina is hosting. I figured it would be years before the invitational was ever there again. If anyone on the Yard is going, please refrain from renting Airbnb or other accommodations using houses. There was already a major housing crisis on the entire island. Many residents of Lahaina are still living in tents, camping on Kaanapali Beach, etc. Families have been evicted out of hotel rooms.
Good for Maui to see the event back. Fortunately the Civic Center isn't located near downtown Lahaina. The PGA Tournament of Champions was also played at Kapalua. Hope Lahaina can eventually recover, and they do need the tourists back.Was in Lahaina over thanksgiving this year. Did not think it was possible for the civic center to host another game. That area is legitimately destroyed.
Yes, stay in the hotels or resorts on the island. There's loads of them and they span price ranges (and accompanying quality.) There's not a hotel on the island that won't be cheaper than a cheap AirBnB. It may not be the best, but neither would that AirBnB.I would like to go to Lahaina for the Maui Invitational.

We're in the same MTE rotation as Michigan State which is why we're always in Maui or the Battle For Atlantis togetherI feel like it's the same group of teams in every tournament!
