Cincinnati and Vandy to meet in Maui Invitational

LAHAINA, Hawaii — Arizona, led by first-year coach Sean Miller, will meet Wisconsin in the opening round of the Maui Invitational.

The winner of that first-round game on Nov. 23 will face the winner of the game between Colorado and Gonzaga.

The other semifinal bracket, which was announced Tuesday, has Maryland meeting Chaminade, the Division II host school which has compiled a 5-68 record in the 25 previous Maui Invitationals, and Cincinnati facing Vanderbilt.

The championship game is Nov. 25 and the tournament is sponsored by EA Sports.

Vanderbilt (1986) and Arizona (2000) are the only former Maui champions in the field.

The entire 12-game tournament will be televised on the ESPN networks.
