    Cyclones MBB in 2024 Maui Invite

    For reference, my wife and I just paid a bit over $8,000 for the ticket and hotel package this year (6 nights). In 2018, we paid $5,300 for 5 nights. The Kaanapali Hotels were about $420 per night in 2018 and over $900 a night now so that is the big difference. Pricing changed in a big way...

    Cyclones MBB in 2024 Maui Invite

    I did the same as I was planning to see all the games anyway. The lineups are going to be so good for this event. Too bad the hotels have doubled in price since the 2018 Tournament though. package prices are substantially up this time.

    Cyclones MBB in 2024 Maui Invite

    Based on last year and even the event in 2018, I don't think we really had information / ability to purchase on ticket packages until sometime in July or August. They usually come out each month with information on each team that will be there and that starts in February. I already have airline...

    Cyclones going to Maui in 2024

    In 2018, we bought the Maui Jim Tournament package, which was 4 nights hotel and all 12 games for around $5,500. For 2023, there was a 5 night minimum stay as a part of the package and it has been sold out for quite a while. You can register online at Maui Jim Invitational and you get...

    Cyclones going to Maui in 2024

    I was there in 2018 and had a great time. My wife and I put this on our calendar more than a year ago when there was discussion about it and they listed attendees for the next three years. The tournament is great and I would also comment that the all session tickets are the way to go, but...

    If you have the March Madness App (free), you can at least watch the condensed games at between 10 and 13 minutes each. Has this years full tourney and then clips for some game highlights over the years, including the Hampton game we all want to forget, one shining moment, etc.

    Chicago flights

    Living in Mason City and have family in Chicago. Drive time is 5 1/2 hours. Air travel time with arrival, check-in, flight, departure and transport into Chicago is only 60 minutes less than driving. Very handy to fly, but I still end up driving most of the time just to not rent a car.

    2018 Maui Tournament

    I was thinking the same thing. I had a room already reserved and decided last weekend to pull the trigger on the whole package. I don't want to worry about scalping and want to attend all the games anyway. I think the scalper pricing will be ridiculous based on the teams there. I usually...

    Ejim and Mcgee Champions

    My wife and I were in Italy a few weeks ago and watched Melvin play in two of the playoff games on TV. Funny as last year we were in Hungary and watched Babb play in a game. Now we just turn on the TV in Europe and bet on whether we will see an ex-Cyclone or not.

    Do we hope for a postponement Tuesday?

    Stop talking bad weather guys. My wife and I left for Florida the morning after the Kansas game and are booked to fly back in TUESDAY before the game starts. I am not planning to miss it unless stranded somewhere.

    Boycott Kermit the Frog?

    Looks like he went with a bunch of underfrogs in his bracket.
