Wichita State is set to face California for their first game of the tournament.
The 2017 Maui Jim Maui Invitational eight-team bracket was announced Tuesday. The tournament will run Nov. 20-22 at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui.
Tournament Chairman Dave Odom released a statement saying:
The Shockers’ first game of the tournament will be against California. The two have only met one other time in the 1975 Lobo Invitational in Albuquerque where California won 75-68.
The Bears went 21-13 last year and reached the postseason in eight of their last nine seasons.
