I love Feast Week! I hope Pope schedules some tournaments in the upcoming years again.
They are only in it every other year now.
I hope Memphis loses every single game, then it will be a very special Thanksgiving here in Memphis! 🙏
I was wondering why they have their name on it, but aren’t in it. They are never competitive so it makes sense.
Also means 1 legit team will lose all 3 games. Ouch.
And yeah I know chaminade has won a game a few times but almost always a win for 7th place team lol.
Yeah, it’s most important to win the first game to get on the right side of the bracket so you don’t get worse than 4th. I think it gets teams used to the tourney format and playing games back to back for later in the year.
Gotta pull for Memphis, Dayton or Colorado here.
Let's go Flyers.

I thought you couldn’t have more than one team from a conference? How did Colorado and Iowa State end up in there together?
Me either, sucks it’ll be at least 3 more years until we can be. I think the teams are already set for the next 2 seasons
The fact that Cal took us out of Maui, and left us out, shows how he thought he was bigger than what was going on here. Playing in some stupid ass home classic every year, and then losing in the champions, only to be told we were built for March. Good riddance.
I remember the good old days where The Great Alaskan Shootout was a big tournament that good teams played in.
Yes Sir, it was a great tournament. Back when you played and worked hard to improve after seeing what you working with at the beginning of the year. Not trying to hide deficiencies of players your trying to push to the league.
Memphis CAN bet UCONN, whether or not they do is another story. Great field and should be some very good games. Auburn / UCONN would be fun.
Memphis is 4-0 and gave Mizzou, UNLV and San Francisco their only losses. All 3 teams are pretty damn good.

I remember the year Chaminade beat Virginia with Ralph Sampson. What an upset.
After next year UK will be back playing in tourneys like these. Atlantis, Maui, or these new NIL tourneys are things Kentucky should be involved every year from here on out
I can tell you one.. John Calipari.
Those tournaments were strictly off limits!!!
All the classics, invitationals, tournaments, etc…are great. Especially the Maui.
Hope Pope gets back into a rotation with them.
They’re essentially the equivalent of Bowl season in football but at the beginning of the year.
Get to see a lot of interesting matchups that you normally wouldn’t see.

I’m “kinda” that way. But I used to tell my wife that we would go to those when we retired. Cal has saved me a lot of money in that regard. I’m wondering if she remembers.
You’re pretty damn demanding. You realize he would have had to board his dogs , right?
Lots of good games, but ESPN's NCAAM main page is still the joke of the entire sport.
Every.single.main page article over the last two weeks is DUKE. It's just insane media bias.

I remember when they beat Ralph Sampson and Virginia in '82. Imagine if there was internet or social media back then. It would be on people's minds more and live on longer. It was quickly forgotten but that has to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest upset in NCAA history.
Damn. That bracket is hella stacked. Should have some grade A basketball entertainment

Field set years in advance so when it was put together Colorado was PAC 12 Iowa St Big 12
Do remember that -
Virginia was very very tough in the early 80s
Their gym was like a non-air conditioned (rural) high school facility, right?
Always getting wet and slick on the court?
Do not pull for many teams besides UK or teams from Kentucky, unless it is a matchup thing. This is a matchup thing. I want UCONN to crush the half cent and his team. Would like it to be 150 to 10.
The slick court is sticking in my mind. Maybe it was another court? It is Alaska. I can see that being possible.
UConn doesn’t look the same and they’re in big trouble in this one.
Memphis just out-hustling, playing more physical than UCONN.
This UConn team is nowhere near what the last 2 were. Now they could still be really good because Hurley is the coach but the talent isn’t anywhere close to 2022-2024 teams.
If UConn wins a title with this group, Hurley is the greatest coach on planet Earth. Not enough athletes, not enough defense, not enough depth.
