UConn - Dayton 11:59 pm

I mistakenly thought the game was noon tomorrow so glad it’s midnight.

I'm a relative newcomer to CBB but why is the Maui held in such high regard? Terrible time slots and the convention center is tiny, who is affording the tickets and airfare to Hawaii, especially from the East Coast?

Seems like there's much better MTEs

It's one of the older tournaments and due to prestige generally gets the best collection of teams. Teams and players have always liked it because it's a chance for the school to essentially pay for a bonding vacation for players/coaches (skirting NCAA bylaws for the last 40 years, but less relevant with recent NCAA changes). A lot of the other MTE tournaments are held in cavernous neutral site buildings that don't fill up, so the atmosphere is lacking. By contrast, the Maui gym being so small and the destination being so appealing gives it an electric atmosphere. The rims are notoriously soft, allowing for good shooting and high scores.

Usually great fields, very intimate environment and tradition. Has a brand. Logistics not so much.

Because UConn wins it in years it also wins the national championship

He didn't start them, but Coach K, once -very early in a game - pulled all his starters and sent in a line up of scrubs and walk ons. He let them play a few minutes before he sent the embarrassed players back in.

Calhoun also was known to pull a player super quick if they didn’t start the game right.

Ala Dyson vs Kentucky. He pulled him like 30 seconds into the game.

My wife had a cocktail at 8pm and I faced a very tough choice. Decided to wait until later. She passed out at 9pm. I'm still going strong, started nursing a beer at 10:30.

Wow Cadeau. What a miss.

UNC down 3 with 13.8 ticks to go. Getting the ball.
 
And they hit the trey!!!

5.2 ticks to go...
 
If that was UCONN that would have been called a foul and he would be at the line
 
I have a little parlay with NC -2.5 so I like OT for that, but not so much my UConn fandom

Would it have made sense to foul there if you’re MSU instead of giving them the chance to take a 3?

OT. MSU has gone off the rails. Scoreless in last 4 1/2 minutes.
 
That’s a big time shot by Trimble.

Somewhat related, I always thought Melo Trimble was gonna be great.
