Wow, it seems so far away, but the people in Maui have announced the pairings already for the Invitational in November. The Illini play Arizona State in the opening round game. The rest of the pairings are on the website, here. Believe it or not, but Duke has never lost a game on the island of Maui, and won this thing three times! The optimistic Illini fans like me feel confident, and have already flooded the poll with votes for the Illini winning the whole doggone thing, right now running at 30%, with Duke second at 24%. And I thought this would be a turnaround year at Champaign......
Even more exciting, you are all invited to design a logo for the Chaminade Silverswords, and if you win the contest, you can show up at halftime and claim your reward. Good luck to all entering.

Better keep expectations realistic. After all, it is Duke...
I will need to spend more time on the question of who the favorites should be in the Maui tourney. The powerhouse programs are definitely Marquette, OK State, Duke and the Illini, but I need to see which teams are projected to be best this season.
