Quick Notes & Storylines
- Seton Hall vs. NC State opener: First meeting since Seton Hall’s 94-83 NCAA tourney upset in 2018. Pirates coach Shaheen Holloway returns to Maui for the first time in 20+ years. Who knows, maybe we’ll see both of them in the 2025 NCAA Tournament?
- USC vs. Boise State: Coaches Eric Musselman (ex-Arkansas in Maui ’22) and Leon Rice (three Gonzaga trips, including ’09 title) bring island experience to this first-ever clash.
- Washington State vs. Chaminade: Cougars debut against the host Silverswords, whose legendary 1982 upset of No. 1 Virginia inspired the entire tournament.
- Arizona State vs. Texas nightcap: Two former champs led by Maui vets. Bobby Hurley (co-MVP in ’92) and Sean Miller (Arizona title in ’14). Expect fireworks from fringe Top-25 squads like Texas and USC.
- The event’s back at Lahaina Civic Center post-recovery, blending high-major battles with mid-major underdogs for classic November drama.
