Future MBB non conference schedules

Maui again??? That seems like a weird selection considering how bad the program has been.
Not by 2024. We will be rolling and competing for conference championships by then.
Yeah, it's called playing Chaminade. Maui is usually thought of as the best pre-season tourney so I just thought it was weird we get an invite now when we've witnessed a horrible stretch.
Maybe others have more faith in TJ than several ISU fans do?
Hopefully, but my understanding is they pick based on how good the program presently is, not some projection 3 years from now.
If I remember correctly we got Maui the first time because of the 5 straight NCAA tourneys we had been to with Fred and Prohm. Its usually a pretty exclusive invite so I just thought the timing was weird.
Yeah, hopefully TJ has more success there. Last time we lost to the worst Arizona team in recent memory and beat up on 2 teams that didn't even make the NCAA tourney.
i went to Maui in 2018 and had many Hawaiians tell us ISU traveled as well as any team they’d ever had attend. I’m sure that played a huge part in the events decision to invite ISU for 2024. They don’t care if we’re good or bad, they wants fans in the seats, hotels and restaurants
...or hiring another new HC. (am I doing this right?)
This will be worse than McDermott as far as treatment by Pollard. ISU could be under .500 for at least the first 4 years and there will be a contract extension.
I like to travel for ISU events and take in the city... PORTLAND would not be a top destination...
I also said nothing about the teams invited.

Portland is awesome! I would definitely go to that tourney.
The PK80 event in 2017 was a two-bracket, 16-team mega-tourney with the blue bloods.
The PK Invitational in 2019 was Oregon vs Memphis and Oregon State vs Oklahoma.
You are correct didn’t realize that, maybe this one will be a big one again as it will coincide with his 85th Bday
