Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 5129060, member: 1329"] 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. [/QUOTE]
