00:02 All right, DRS, from the NBA now to college basketball,
00:06 this is what Feast Week is all about--
00:09 the crowd, and the environment, and the lineup
00:13 that we have for the Maui Invitational.
00:15 Of course, it will be played in Honolulu
00:18 this year after the devastating wildfires that
00:20 happened in Maui just a few months ago.
00:22 But one of the benefits of sport, DRS,
00:24 is it brings people and communities
00:26 together for a greater purpose and a greater good.
00:29 A ton of the money raised from this marquee early season
00:32 event will go to the wildfire reliefs in Maui.
00:36 It is going to be an emotional but a celebratory type Maui
00:40 Invitational with a super strong feel.
00:43 When you look at the teams, DRS, playing in Maui or in Honolulu
00:47 but in the Maui Invitational, the number one
00:49 team in the country, Kansas, is the favorite
00:52 to win this tournament.
00:53 Tennessee, not far behind at plus 260
00:56 because they are on the other side of the bracket.
00:58 Purdue, one of the co-national title favorites alongside KU,
01:02 plus 340.
01:03 Marquette, top five in the country.
01:06 We have three teams, Donnie, ranked in the top five.
01:08 We have five teams ranked in the top 11,
01:10 including Gonzaga and Marquette.
01:12 A loaded field for this year's 2023 Maui Invitational.
01:17 Yeah, the Maui Invitational, by far,
01:18 is the best tournament that they play.
01:20 And also, when you're a college kid
01:21 and you say, where's the tournament at this week?
01:23 It's in Maui.
01:23 That's exciting.
01:24 There's a reason why these teams aren't allowed back
01:26 every single year.
01:27 Otherwise, they would all go every single year
01:29 to the Maui Invitational.
01:30 And for my money here, you don't want to really go
01:32 with the bottom shot, oh, long shot.
01:34 I don't really want to take the favorite here.
01:35 So maybe a shot on Marquette at a decent price in this one.
01:38 Because again, we have to remember,
01:39 these kids are thousands of miles away from home
01:41 here in a neutral court gym atmosphere.
01:44 And we've seen some upsets there over there quite some time.
01:46 So I'll go Marquette in this tournament.
01:48 Decide to go that moderate price middle favorite here.
