Not this year, but next year — Tennessee will return to the Maui Invitational. The Volunteers were announced as a part of the eight-team field, where each team will play three games during the tournament at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawaii, from Nov. 20-22, 2023.
Gonzaga, Kansas, Marquette, Purdue, Syracuse, UCLA and host Chaminade make up the rest of the field. Tennessee is very familiar with Gonzaga, Kansas and Purdue, seemingly finding a way to meet those schools regularly in these preseason tournaments or early non-conference games.
Tennessee last appeared in this tournament back in 2016 as Rick Barnes had just started his rebuild in Knoxville.
