When Can We Rejoin The Maui Invitational?

[UKBlueBlood]

Assuming Coach Pope isn’t opposed to flying to Maui to play basketball games?

When can we get back in on the Maui gig?

Wife keeps asking me to take her..... Waiting on Coach Pope to let me know when

Lets drop the Champions Classic? You may have to do that to balance adding a tournament.
I feel like we should win the champions classic not give up on it.

Not sure what our contract is for that.

Went to the last one w/ family. Had the time of my life. Needs to happen soon.

If I'm not mistaken we re-upped on that thing not too long ago. We have a losing record and it's going to take some work to get out of that hole. Thanks Cow. 🐄

UK can take Arkansas spot this season if they were in it. You know if they were they are out now.

You can't pull out without major penalty. That's why we went Cal's 1st year. And then he cancelled it.

Auburn is the SEC representative this year.

We can still do Maui + Champion's Classic. Champion's Classic isn't a tournament. It's just a showcase event.

I haven't seen the 2025 field announced. Saw the April 2023 article where Michigan State announced their plans for 2024 so could be next year possibly. I do know the one year Cal did it in 2010, year 2 was a commitment made during the BCG days like playing on that Mexican ballroom floor next to the bar in 2009.

What about battle 4 Atlantis?? Another good thanksgiving tourney at a prime location is Maui is a couple yrs away sounds like.

You have to go to the Maui Invitational once. It's big blue heaven.

 

[M4CAT]

Potentially 2025. This year set. UCONN, UNC, Auburn, Michigan State & Iowa State are in the field.

Predictably Katz screwed up that quote. Pope said, “since we have this little group together…” May still look like Opie Taylor, but he handled today like The Fonz in every way.

Oh lord, I'd forgotten that whole debacle.
