2023 MAUI...WOAH

[MU82]

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.

Was thinking along similar lines.

We're looking ahead to next season's rosters in Maui? Depaul is definitely a trap game now.

[MuggsyB]

Wilson & DIck will be gone for certain.

I also expect Jacquez and Campbell to be gone.

MU will be formidable and has a good chance to win the Maui Invatational '23.

Forget DePaul....I'm suddenly worried about a trap PRACTICE! 

[tower912]

I am going to worry for the next 10 months.

My older brother had a classmate named Mike Dick 45-50 years ago.  You'd think I'd have matured about that last name in that amount of time.

Hot dang that's some early season mettle testing - add in the gavitt games, Wisconsin and another possible big ten opponent ... let's hope that pre season ranking is high enough to withstand the gauntlet - assuming we stay the course and most folks return

MU Rah!!

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.

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. 

[PickNRoll]

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?

[BallBoy]

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. 

[Pepe Sylvia]

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

Perfect, thank you

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

They don't call me Rick Steves for nothing. Next up, "West Coast Rican Lunches: To Conch or not to Conch?"

Sign me up for that one Doc!!!!!

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.
