Cyclones MBB in 2024 Maui Invite

Not really, it's a chance for 2 or 3 Quad 1 wins next year.

Hopefully the mystery MAAC team is Iona, would love to get a shot at Pitino.
Iona just played in it in 2021, they aren't eligible to go back yet.

Most likely looking at Marist Quinnipiac or Rider if they stick close to their usual rotation.

How long is a team ineligible for returning to the same tournament?
 
I hear the arena there is pretty small. Can anyone confirm this that has been there?
 
The thing I'm most concerned about isn't price really, because I know Hawaii trips are expensive, its availability of tickets the day(s) they go on sale. I also want to spend more time there than a charter probably would do.
 
Gym was not a whole lot bigger than some high school gyms. All bleachers if I remember. Fans were mostly separated by school but very much on top of each other. I recall it being pretty intense.

Fans here definitely know their basketball and very passions are about it. First meaningful game for most at this point in the season.

It was pretty amped up in there.
 
Even though they don't officially seed these I bet we get Memphis first and UNC in the semi's.

That seems feasible. It's especially difficult to tell 1.3 seasons in advance, but if I'm guessing right now, the "unofficial seeding" & pairings might be this (sort of 50-50 combination of your version):

Maui 2024
1 North Carolina
8 Dayton
4 Auburn
5 UConn
2 Michigan State
7 Colorado
3 Iowa State
6 Memphis

Anybody want to join a group for tickets? Pretty sure we can get them discounted in a block if we book them under Boys and Girls Club.
I would be willing to purchase 2 tickets we get them cheaper in a group, otherwise I will just order ISU tickets when they go on sale.

Confirmed small. My high school gym was bigger.

Concessions and bathrooms were outside. And yea they have air conditioning now but not sure it does anything.

Honestly the worst thing was people trying to have more room and they don’t let anyone squeeze in when there’s clearly room. I mean I don’t blame them as they pack you in like sardines in the general admission.

Also if I recall, everyone stood the whole time in general admission
