The Southwest Maui Invitational, the nation’s preeminent in-season college basketball tournament, today released the official bracket for the 2025 Tournament, taking place at the historic Lahaina Civic Center from Nov. 24 to 26.

The 42nd annual Tournament will kick off with Seton Hall taking on NC State, followed by USC facing Boise State in game two. Games three and four will feature Washington State squaring off with Tournament host Chaminade, and Arizona State going head-to-head with Texas in the nightcap. All 12 games of the 2025 Southwest Maui Invitational will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, and will also be available on the ESPN app.

“The 2025 Southwest Maui Invitational features yet another competitive field and includes three teams making their Tournament debut and two previous Tournament champions,” said Dave Odom, tournament chairman and legendary collegiate coach. “There’s truly nothing like the energy and atmosphere that fills the Lahaina Civic Center each November, and we are excited for each of these programs to add to this iconic Tournament’s history as they look to deliver ‘Maui Magic’ for college basketball fans on-island and at-large.”

Together, the 2025 field shares 136 NCAA Tournament appearances, 11 Final Fours and two national championships.
