2015 MAUI CLASSIC Thread

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

I know we are like 390 days away from our Hoosiers playing in the Maui Classic but......I'M FRIGGIN' HYPED since this will be the only games i get to see them play for the unforseeable future (I live in Alaska and it is cheaper to fly to Hawaii from here than to go to the lower 48) Anyhow, if you plan on attending, hit me up.....Let's see if we can get a little community going and meet to drink some fu fu drinks while we are there!

Just purchased my "official" IU hawaiian shirt today! [attachment=1207:$_14.jpg] Now, looking for some candy striped swim shorts to wear to the games

Speaking of Maui this year is probably the worst field ever and Purdouche is in it.

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

they have to have Purspew in the tourney for diversity reasons

[Hovadipo 54,997]

They should do student packages for Maui. I'd be in.

@Hovadipo- You know, i think they do a student package thingie. I was just on the Maui classic website and saw something of the sorts.

I'll be there along with my dad and a few others. Should be a good time.

I am officially JEALOUS of anyone who gets to go to Maui to see IU!

 

And---I expect a full report!

My baby bro goes to Kansas, so I may see if I can get us out there... Would be fun to watch.

That would be a really fun trip to go to.  We won it back in 02-03 over Gonzaga. I can remember us going to the Great Alaskan Shootout too, back in the 90's.  Is that tournament still around?  

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

The Great Alaskan Shootout still is going in Anchorage. I traveled down a few years ago to watch Texas Tech and Coach Knight. That happened to be the last year he coached so it was quite the treat. Now, they only attract mid-majors, if that. It isn't worth it to attend. We hear that it costs too much to bring better schools up to Alaska with the cost of flights.

Wednesday, Nov. 26 – First Round
7:30 p.m. (Game 1) – Pacific vs Alaska Anchorage (CBSSN)
10 p.m. (Game 2) – Missouri State vs Colorado State (CBSSN)
Thursday, Nov. 27 – First Round
5:30 p.m. (Game 3) – Rice vs Mercer (CBSSN)
8 p.m. (Game 4) – Washington State vs UC Santa Barbara (CBSSN)

 

the teams are sub-par! (sorry if anyone graduated or a fan from these schools)

@hoosier2014- we need to represent! :clapping:
