I don’t even care about the other games (It would be amazing if they are great games), but I will be thinking about the ‘24 Maui Invitational for a long long time. Fantastic start to Feast Week🦃
Some mid-majors who should provide some fireworks (this sounds lame, I’m aware. Figured I’d be festive) in 2024-25
Grand Canyon (@GCU_MBB) (TGF, Ray Harrison, Collin Moore back, JaKobe Coles in) Even better than the team who nearly made the Sweet 16.
McNeese State (@McNeeseMBB) (Ridiculous transfer class + Christian Shumate, DJ Richards back)
High Point (They have all the potential for a deep 12/13 seed run)
Princeton (@PrincetonMBB) (Caden Pierce, Xaivian Lee back. Dalen Davis breakout soon)
Vermont (@UVMmbb) (Bouges, Long, Ileri back + Shy Odom in)
Ohio (@OhioMBasketball) - A lot back (Elite guard trio w Shareef Mitchell, AJ Brown & Jackson Paveletzke)
Charleston (@CofCBasketball)- another stacked Cougars roster. (Brzvoic/Fulton back. Deywilk Tavarez, AJ Smith, Elijah Jones Derrin Boyd + more in) CAA favorites.
Louisiana Tech (@LATechHoops) - Batcho is a stud, Sean Newman is a steady PG, Amaree Abram & Kaden Cooper are dynamite adds.
Arkansas St (@AStateMB) - Returning a ton of- Izaiyah Nelson, Dyondre Dominguez, Taryn Todd, Terrence Ford, Derrian Ford, add Joseph Pinion/Cody Head. Really fun team to watch and got even better.
Myles Powell went undrafted and is playing overseas now but bronny James skipping dozens of nba workouts after scoring 5ppg at usc . NBA will always be politics
The Gonzaga v McNeese game intrigues me the most I think out of all the games in the tourney. Everybody is picking McNeese to get out the first round. Don’t get me wrong McNeese is great, but you want to know the last time Mark Few lost in the R64? Steph Curry with Davidson…
