The Maui Invitational is bringing a loaded group of teams to the island in 2023.
The tournament’s field that year will include perennial powers Kansas, Gonzaga and UCLA, as well as big brands in Marquette, Purdue, Syracuse and Tennessee. The eighth team in the field is Division II Chaminade, which participates in the event every other year and last won a game in the 2017 tournament by knocking off Cal.
“When I put each year together, I’m hoping that it’s going to be the best field ever. That’s the way you approach it,” tournament chairman Dave Odom says. “And 2023 very well may be the best one, at least on paper, that we’ve ever had.”
