Tournament Thread Maui Invitational 2018

Pretty nervous about this tournament. Seems to be the perfect storm of a down season combined with a very very tough field. 3 top 10 teams? Jesus

Well, At least the coaches won't have to wear coats and ties in this laid back tournament.

Auburn -10
Xavier

Duke -13.5
SDSU

Gonzaga -14
Illinois

Arizona
Iowa State EVEN

Interesting. Based on those lines, my guess is that Duke would be a 8.5/9.5 favorite over Auburn.

I'd honestly be extremely happy with a win tonight, whatever happens after that. ISU is a very good team.

If Zona can just get into the winning side of the bracket by winning tonight, anything the rest of the way in Maui can only help the resume, can't really hurt it.

Getting Gonzaga and then Auburn/Duke would be a huge boost to the SoS.

Probably going to sum up Auburn's season.

Auburn looked dreadful down the stretch. Wow

Nice pullout by Auburn . I'm not sure how good Xavier is so thus could've ended up a bad loss by seasons end

 

[Mistaken4193]

Missed Goaltend followed by Harpers dunk pretty much did Xavier in. But was a really good game.

 

[The Derski]

For once all the white Duke players just ride the bench.

That's what she said.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Everyone of note is going off for Duke. Zion is probably having the least efficient game of everyone atm.

 

[podsox]

Iowa st collapsed

 

[ericd7633]

That is a huge win for Arizona, assuming Gonzaga wins. Getting the Gonzaga/Duke/Auburn combo will do wonders for their SOS. If not they get stuck playing Illinois then probably Xavier.

Bill Walton just said “Iowa is gonna be ok” when Illinois went down 12 points Gonzaga. Lmao
