Could the Maui Invitational serve as a start of a burgeoning rivalry between future fellow Big 12 members?
CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander is reporting that Arizona will open against Cincinnati in the Maui Invitational over Thanksgiving week. This will be the first time the tournament is held at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui since 2019 due to COVID-19 restrictions in Hawaii.
Cincinnati is coming off an 18-15 season under first-year coach Wes Miller, but the Bearcats return four starters and have added three transfers including former Memphis guard Landers Nolley II and ex-Old Dominion power forward Kalu Ezikpe.
