Back to Maui (‘23)

[YankeeVol]

Tough field

 

[Special Ed]

In the Battle 4 Atlantis in '22.

 

[volroadwarrior]

Does this leave any doubt we are not considered a top team now? Approaching elite status!!

 

[Probably_in_Class]

That is a heck of a tough field

 

[TheMookieMonster]

That will be quite the challenge for the 2023 Vols. We will lose JJJ, Santi, and ON, and potentially BHH/Aidoo. We'll be sporting a pretty overhauled roster. Should be a really good early season test for that team.

 

[JRVOL11]

hopefully our 23’ class is monster

ORN could be back. Uros as well. Doubt that JJJ or SV use their free COVID year.

Hopefully we’ll get some high level recruits. I’m sure RB will use the portal as well.

 

[Putbacks]

Are we a package deal with Purdue to all in-season tournaments…or what?!!

It does seem like we play the same circuit with them and Villanova, a lot. We don't always meet up, but it seems like we are in the same rotation.

 

[Volfan1000]

Tough field

The Maui field is a potential Final Four type field.

 

[Volfan1000]

In the Battle 4 Atlantis in '22.

Who is in that tournament besides Tennessee?

 

[Special Ed]

Who is in that tournament besides Tennessee?

Butler, BYU, Dayton, Kansas (of course), NC State, USC, and Wisconsin.

[cncchris33]

Honestly, that B4A lineup is pretty stout, too.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Damn that lineup is stacked. Anyone ever made the trip for this before?

Absolutely

Have been to the B4A. Never Maui.. but this 2023 field is taking to me.

 

[VolPack22]

I got Chaminade winning the Maui that year

 

[Willy14]

Looks like we play the winner/loser of Gonzaga/Purdue after our first game with Cuse

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Glad we got somebody different considering the possibilities. We haven't played Syracuse since 2002. Naturally we are set up to play Purdue or Gonzaga again following that one. Along with Kansas we've seen these clubs a lot under Barnes.

 

[VolFann9]

We should get past Syracuse, then have Purdue next as the slight favorite over Gonzaga.

I would love to see us play UCLA in this tournament because we have not played them in a long time.

Playing against Edey and Purdue would give us a chance at redemption for the NCAA Tourney losses.

We’ve already got scalps from Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas, Duke, and North Carolina under Barnes. Would be nice to add UCLA to the mix

Every time I see this thread, I start singing/rapping LL Cool J's, "I'm going back to Maui, Maui. Nah, I don't think so" .

Yes, I know it's Cali, but close enough
