2008 EA Sports Maui Invitational

UNC will be the odds on favorite...obviously.  But ND should start out ranked in the top 15.  Indiana will be a joke unless they can pull in recruits..doubt it.  Bama will be ok and oregon is always pretty solid. 

Looks like a good reason to go to Maui in November and i like the Irish's chances in this tourney and throughout next year.  They will be strong and probably rotating 10 guys.

If it ends up ND vs. UNC it could make for a very interesting matchup.  You Tyler Hansbrough vs. younger brother who will be on the bench waiting out his year from transfering from Mississippi State.  Then you have Tyler Zeller playing against Luke Zeller from the Irish.  Two sibbling on opposite benches should make for a great story line game. 

Looking forward to the season.  I could see a very strong push for the sweet 16 from the Irish this year.  We'll see how they handle not being the underdog this year with plenty of talent returning.
