LAHAINA, Hawaii – The 2025 Maui Invitational is set to take place at the Lahaina Civic Center from Monday, November 24 through Wednesday, November 26. Fans can catch all the action as every game will be broadcasted across ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU, making it easier than ever to follow along via the ESPN app.
This year’s tournament features a hot mix of teams and storylines worth keeping an eye on. Among the matchups, Seton Hall is ready for a rematch against NC State, which will be their first meeting since the Pirates pulled off a high-scoring win in the NCAA tournament back in 2018. Seton Hall’s head coach, Shaheen Holloway, is making a return to this prestigious tournament for the first time in over 20 years. Meanwhile, NC State is entering its first Maui Invitational under new head coach Will Wade, who has experience in the event from his time coaching LSU.
Also on the bracket, USC and Boise State will clash for the first time ever. Both teams are led by coaches who are familiar with the island. Eric Musselman, now in his second year with the Trojans, previously led Arkansas here in 2022. Boise State’s Leon Rice, the most successful coach in the school’s history, has fond memories of the tournament, having been part of three Gonzaga teams that went to Maui, including an unforgettable overtime victory in 2009.
Adding to the excitement, Washington State will be making its Maui debut against the tournament host, Chaminade, a team well known for their historic upset of No. 1 Virginia in 1982, which laid the groundwork for this event. The last game of the day will feature a showdown between Arizona State and Texas, led by coaches with deep ties to Maui. Bobby Hurley, who won co-MVP honors in 1992, is looking to lead his team back to glory, while Sean Miller returns after a successful run with Arizona, which included a championship title in 2014.
The tournament promises to be packed with thrilling games and fresh narratives, making the Maui Invitational a must-watch event this November.
