2022 Maui Invitational basketball tournament returns to Maui from Nov 25-27 after a year's hiatus due to wildfires.

The Maui Invitational basketball tournament, featuring two-time defending national champions UConn, will return to its original location on Maui from November 25-27, after a year's hiatus due to wildfires. The strong lineup of teams includes UConn, Memphis, Colorado, Michigan State, Auburn, Iowa State, Dayton, and North Carolina, with tournament chairman Dave Odom describing it as one of the strongest fields in the event's history. Seven of the eight participating teams reached the NCAA Tournament last March, with North Carolina and Iowa State advancing to the Sweet 16. The 2023 event was held at the University of Hawaii campus in Honolulu due to wildfires in Maui that caused 102 deaths and severely affected Lahaina on the island's northwest coast.
