St. John's will be in the Maui Invitational for 2015. Field is going to be loaded. Indiana, UCLA, Kansas, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest among others.

Great tourney, great locale, and great lineup. I LOVED Maui.

Glad to hear that -- I was a little concerned ESPN would shut the Big East out of Maui in future years since the conference bolted for Fox.

Cool, but unless our Johnnies find players who can shoot consistently well and learn how to run plays on offense, then we will be hard pressed to win a game in it.

A greath field. I`m sure Briscoe and the big fella would love Maui

Creighton is playing in some tourney in Destin, Florida. I do not know who the other participants are or whether it is over Thanksgiving or Christmas.

It seems strange that we don't get asked to the CBE classic in Kansas City. It is right in our backyard and Creighton would probably bring 7,000+ fans to the event.

Remember hearing a while back that Seton Hall was going someplace very warm next year. So I guess that rules out Alaska.

yeah. I remember back when Alaska used to be a great tourney. Gone way down hill recently. Would love for FS1 to pick it up and funnel some $$$ in there to get great teams to revive the tournament.
