I have forgotten since last season ended, are you a Pitt fan?
I went to a small conference school as well, UND-Greensboro in the Southern Conference. I went to a lot of basketball games as a freshman when they were competitive. Then they sucked for 3 years and I hardly ever went. Last year when UNC-G played Duke I went to the game wearing all of my Duke stuff. And I sat in the front row of the student section too! I planned it all out so that the Duke players would be coming out of the tunnel me and my girlfriend were beside. I talked to Seth Curry before the game and after the game I slapped all the players hands and Coach K's too. And that was the game that Coach K passed Dean Smith in all time wins too. Epic Night...
So my point is maybe you're favorite team will play a game at your small school and you can do what I did!
About the Maui Invitational, Duke was offered to play Chaminade, but Coach K declined it. 4 of those teams will be ranked in the top 25 to start the year... I would bet on it. Will be hard for Duke to win it. Hope they can. We have been in the Maui Invitational 4 times before and have won it every year.
