MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT
-
Really O’ahu, but still Hawaii. What a field: #1, #2, #4, #7, #11, and UCLA. Possible Dickinson/Edey match up. I know this won’t happen and yes, I’m not a HOF coach, but I sure wish Coach would limit the starters to 20 minutes or so against Charminade. Our guys ran out of gas in the third game of the Bahama’s tourny last year and got thumped by Tennessee 64-50. The Charminade game should give Coach the opportunity to rest the starters and get some good minutes in for the bench which was barely noticeable on the scoreboard during the Kentucky game. KU must get points from Parker, Johnny and Nic; the Charminade game is perfect to get the bench a bunch of extra minutes. But, I’m still expecting to see the starters on the floor with 6 minutes to play, then the substitutions start.
-
I never did see how much the Illinois game raised for Maui. I’m going to miss the high school like gym the tournament is played at on Maui. I’ll look in on the early games, but will have to catch the Marquette score tomorrow.
-
@stoptheflop Illinois said it raised more than $1 million for the Maui Strong fund
-
@tundrahok is that just them?
-
With FAU’s loss, it’s very likely Gonzaga moves into the top 10 this week making it 5 top 10 teams.
For KU to win, it’s very likely they’ll have to be a pair of top 5 teams to do so.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think they meant the whole event. Self said the game raised about the same amount.
-
Seen that in this tourney we have the # 1 - - - # 2 - - -# 5 - - -# 7 – & # 10 teams in ESPN power rankings : – KU , Purdue , -think Tenn was # 5- - Gonzaga brought up the rear. – That my friends is a LOADED TOURNEY
-
Is KJ playing or staying home with family?
-
@wissox he’s headed there today. Might not play today, hasn’t practiced. Tomorrow, for sure. Ready to be w/his extended family! Has been staying in close contact w/team.🫶
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Thanks. I knew you’d have the answer!
I’m hoping we see Purdue. Good matchup between the bigs. Will do a little head to head research between Zach and Hunter.
-
Boo to the Syracuse coaching staff for wearing plain white quarter zips. Colorful (tastefully obnoxiou) shirts and sneakers are the proper attire for this tournament. How did they not get the message. Cuffe sighting for Syracuse.
-
IDK if it’s the arena, jet lag, or not good shooters, but Zags were 6/32 from 3, 19% and Perdue was 4/17, 24%. I imagine this will be another game that Juan takes a break from shooting.
-
WOW! What a day for sports.
For me, watching US soccer first. Will stop at the half and pick up later. Turning to the Chiefs right now. Will watch on ABC so they don’t show KU score. Then later the Hawks in Hawaii!

Looks like KJ is playing after all.
-
Should be a fun game after the close earlier games.
-
I heard his family came too.
-
Oh no Bill Walton
-
Bill fricking Walton
-
Bill Walton is onto the conspiracy that is players stepping out of bounds. We devolve from here.
-
Bill Walton proves marijuana is unhealthy over time.
-
Ha. I moved to make new more specific thread name
-
Let’s go #Jayhawks
-
Pink shoes for HD
-
Hoping my bar clears out a little bit at half so I can get a seat closer to the KU game. It’s wild how much more people care about the chiefs now vs when I lived here in college
-
Ah yes my space cadet
-
@FarmerJayhawk Well they weren’t very good for so long. Add in the fact KU is playing a team they beat by 20 if they play terribly.
-
Timberlake needs to finish when wide open under the basket. Lets go Nick!
-
Wow NT sucks
-
@cragarhawk just looks like a bad fit.
-
@kjayhawks oh yeah it’s just jarring. Back when you couldn’t get KU off the tv for the apocalypse
-
JAMARI TIME
-
Braun has excellent bounce
-
@approxinfinity maybe just not fully up to speed here yet. Idk. Looks awful so far tho
-
@FarmerJayhawk its because you left Lawrence. To bring back Jayhawk cheer you must sing loud for all to hear.
-
We have quite the assortment of freshman hair
-
@approxinfinity oh god that would do more harm than good
Just like Parker Braun 3s
-
ragged
-
That was a horrendous take
-
@BeddieKU23 yuuup just because you’re big and white does not mean you should take 3s like HD
-
How tall is Jamari?
-
Atleast 4 inches shorter than his hair. Lol
-
Ok, yeah 6’4 without hair i guess
-
Wow nice D Swords
-
Its timeout time. We were sleepwalking since the break
-
Good grief
-
Not encouraging.
-
Get throttled by Marquette playing like this.
Hopefully saving it for tomorrow. Idk
-
Guess it’s time to rewatch the KU-KSU football game…
-
Seems like we always sleepwalk through Chaminade
-
Shaka isnt going to beat Bill.
