Thanksgiving week provides college basketball with an opportunity for clashes between top 25 programs.
That’s the expectation for Wichita State and Notre Dame who could potentially meet in the eight-team Maui Jim Maui Invitational, with games starting Monday. The tournament offers young and seasoned teams an opportunity to play in a shot-schedule atmosphere with games Monday through Wednesday.
The Maui Jim Invitational has a history dating back to 1984. Providence won in the tournament’s inaugural year, and since then, powerhouses like Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA, Michigan State, Villanova, Indiana and Gonzaga have dominated one of the NCAA’s most prestigious Thanksgiving weekend tournaments.
