UConn to headline 40th Maui Invitational
Connecticut Huskies head coach Dan Hurley shouts at his team during the Men's NCAA national championship game against the Purdue Boilermakers at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on April 8, 2024. The Maui Invitational, displaced last year because of devastating fires on the island, is returning to Maui this fall with back-to-back national champion UConn in the field.
The prominent tournament will mark its 40th anniversary when it is held Nov. 25-27 at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui.
Joining the Huskies in the eight-team field are Memphis, Colorado, Michigan State, Auburn, Iowa State, Dayton and North Carolina.
Three of those teams -- UConn, Iowa State and North Carolina -- reached the Sweet 16 of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. In all, seven of them were selected to the tournament.
"This year's Maui Invitational is one of the strongest fields in tournament history," said Dave Odom, tournament chairman. "The field is packed with teams looking to make a run in the NCAA Tournament along with UConn who is making their fifth appearance in the Maui Invitational and looking to defend their back-to-back national championships."
The tournament was played in Honolulu in 2023.
