Winning Plays

If you follow college basketball even a little, you know that the Notre Dame men’s basketball team won the Maui Classic tournament. Early season tournaments aren’t the biggest deal in the world, not compared to the NCAA Tournament or the ACC Tournament; but it’s a challenging format that is a good test of mettle as well as ability. Three games in three days is a grind.The Maui tournament has been the most prestigious of the November tournaments for a long time. It always has a strong field. The 2017 field included Marquette, LSU, Michigan, Cal, Virginia Commonwealth, Chaminade (the host school), #6 Wichita State, and #13 Notre Dame.
