I wish we could just go across the mountains to play UNC instead of traveling half way around the world to maybe play them.

Wow, that is a stacked bracket.

I hope we have a well rounded solid roster by then. If not, we might not win a game in 2016 at Maui.

In the 1st round, Chaminade will likely go up against the weakest team in the field.

Chaminade might be the only win then. They are due a win though. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like it's been awhile since they won their first game of the tournament.

Who did they beat a couple of decades ago to shock the world? Patrick Ewing/Georgetown?

Edit: even further back... Ralph Sampson and #1 Virginia.

I don't know, I'd have to look it up. That's before my time, or at least before I started watching and keeping up with sports regularly. Shoot, I was born in 1990, and I didn't even start to heavily follow UT athletics until roughly around 03/04.

#1 Virginia in December 1982.

That's a pretty good field. With the exception of the addition, Chaminaminade.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Chaminade doesn't open against the weakest team. They play Kansas first game this upcoming tournament.

I guess since they have Ralph's sack in their trophy case they're hoping to pull it off again. They might even have one additional impressive scalp since 1982... I'll have to google.

Had to quote you before you edited Ralph's sack. LOL

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Oh ****. They added Rick Barnes' sack too... in 2012.

 

[Lefteye]

Well ****

Recruiting, this will help...

In 2012, Chaminade defeated the University of Texas in the opening round of the invitational. Their current record in the invitational is 7-78. Texas coach Rick Barnes is on the losing end of 2 (28.6%) Chaminade's 7 invitational wins as he also lost in 1991 as the coach of Providence.

The Maui trip is great for recruiting. Still would like to play UNC home and home.
