Maui Invitational update
So on the 1st day of the 2024 Maui Invitational, we got the following: North Carolina using a fierce comeback to beat Dayton, Auburn beating Iowa State in a close Top-5 matchup, and @H2S watching his favorite team beat Colorado.

Memphis stuns No. 2 UConn at Maui Invitational after late technical on Dan Hurley, who blamed loss on 'sh***y calls'

Solo Ball drilled a last-second 3-pointer to force overtime on Monday morning in Maui, but it wasn't enough to lift UConn to the win.

sports.yahoo.com

And of course, we got Memphis winning this crazy (and controversial) battle against the 2-time national champs.
