Michigan to play LSU in Maui at 11:30pm
Living in Richmond, VA, it'd be hilarious for me if we beat LSU (Will Wade), then VCU in the final, then Texas (Shaka Smart) a few weeks later. The butthurt in this city would be incredible.
Good God, I thought this was about football. I would have traveled for THAT game...
Yeah considering they play football games all the time in Maui around midnight.
Yes, 6:30 pm local time sounds pretty reasonable for a football game.
During Standard Time 11:30 EST will actually be 5:30 in HI - And a very reasonable 8:30 pm on the Best Coast!
And yes I too would travel to Maui to watch us play LSU in football & I wouldn't care WHAT time they played it!
Too bad for the players. They would have all gotten lei'd the moment they landed...
I didn't see Duke on the list but is this the tournament that Duke has never lost? I thought it was one of those Hawaii events.
Duke has won the Maui 5 times
Thanksgiving week. Who needs sleep on a short work-week?
Why is a Div 2 team in this? Like the artcle said, playing Chaminade in no way helps you at all.
Chaminade is always in the Maui tournament. I think they're the host. IIRC they pulled off one of the greatest upsets of all time, beating #1 UVA (?) a few decades ago
It really was David slaying Goliath, with 7'4" Ralph Sampson playing the part of Goliath.
As I recall, Chaminade has only won about six or seven times in the entire history of the Invitational, but I am pretty sure - based on my memories of watching it - that Rick Barnes was the opposing coach in two of those games (one of them coming from his time at Providence, I believe, and the other while he was at Texas), so there's that anyway.
Dupe
or is this the lamest maui bracket ever assembled?
It's not surprising...there are 10 billon early season tournaments now.
Now the hot one is playing in a ballroom in the Bahamas. The Maui and Preseason NIT aren't what they used to be.
After nine years your handle still cracks me up. we need a diary from gsimms and his Camaro
Arizona, Auburn, Duke, Gonzaga, Illinois, Iowa State, San Diego State and Xavier.
I wish they could swap us and Illinois.
We will render this pitiful brand of SEC basketball that rides the coattails of Kentucky and Frank Martin...OBSOLETE!
Hurry up and break yourself again. I demand entertainment from you and Brother Nero!!!
Please stop making so many threads where you just whine and cry in the OP. It's unbecoming...I don't even know if I used that word correctly, but it feels like it fits. Just give us the information.
That shirt looks very becoming on you. If I were on you, I'd becoming too.
We'll becoming 'round the mountain.
Just the facts, ma'am.
Then I challenge you to also please stop making posts to WD threads where you whine and cry about whatever he says. The man is entitled to his opinion, and I commend the effort he puts in to keep this board updated on all things Michigan.
Does it honestly bother you that much that he wishes the game were played earlier? I perfectly understand why its played so late, but what does it matter to you that he's expressing his opinion?
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them and they all stink.
I knew someone would say this...even though I'm one of the biggest WD supporters on this board.
Stop it, you're telling on yourself. Just say you don't like me, it's fine. But you're making up stuff.
Never said I don't like you. I just think you're moaning and bitching about something that really is not a big deal.
That's how he handled OPs initially upon his return. He's slowly (quickly) working himself back into prime form.

Your WD-obsessed responses are infinitely more annoying than anything WD actually posts. Stop acting like a teenage girl who's afraid another classmate is more popular than she is.
I can't believe WD is allowed to have an opinion and express it here on MgoBlog. Only you should be able to have an opinion Mr. Yost. Everyone else should just shut up. But not you. You're fine
He's allowed to have an opinion...no question. I'm just saying every thread he starts (I couldn't care less what he posts) doesn't have to be crying about a game time, venue, etc. - that's all I'm saying.
can't get myself to care right now. Foooootball!!!!
It's at 11:30pm because it's in Hawaii...
This is no place for facts.
Not to worry. I will try to be in Maui personally to give you a full report. It is tough work, but someone has to do it!
If you're heading to Maui check out the condos I own / rent on the Island, though they are in Waiela (30 minute drive): http://WaileaEkahiVillage.com. Also, my mother and I (and her father make 3 straight UM grad genereations) have 200+ condos listed for rent by owner all over Maui - we started before the likes of VRBO or AirBnB. Check those out, http://MauiOwnerCondos.com.
Shameless Plug Over.
Aloha & Go Blue!

let's also play them in football at 11:30 pm while we're at it.
Not Football. now that's a game
Good draw. We should beat lsu. Will need some rpi wins early. Any news on asst coaching jobs??? It's been quiet with beilein so far.
Phil Knight of Nike turns 80 this year so Nike is sponsoring two 8-team simultaneous tournaments in Portland over Thanksgiving weekend to honor him. That took out 16 potential teams, including three of last year's Final Four.
UNC, Duke, Oregon, Stanford, Gonzaga, Connecticut, Michigan State, Ohio State, Arkansas, Georgetown. Texas, Oklahoma, Butler, Florida, Portland and Portland State make up the field.
I so badly want to see Michigan football team play in home navy jerseys at night down at Tiger Stadium (Death Valley LSU).
I think we have a strong chance of winning this early season tournament
