STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford has been selected to play in the 2020 Maui Jim Maui Invitational, held Nov. 23-25, 2020 at the historic Lahaina Civic Center in Hawaii.
The Cardinal is part of a stellar eight-team field that includes Alabama, Davidson, Indiana, North Carolina, Providence, Texas and UNLV. The 2020 event will mark the 37th edition of the annual tournament, held on the island of Maui.
Stanford will make its fourth appearance in the prestigious tournament, previously competing in the event in 1987, 1992 and 2004. The Cardinal owns a 3-6 all-time record in its three previous appearances with wins over Baylor (1987), BYU (2004) and Chaminade (1987). In its most recent appearance in the Maui Invitational in 2004, Stanford went 1-2, defeating BYU and dropping decisions to Tennessee and No. 14 Louisville.
"Each year, the Maui Jim Maui Invitational prides itself on bringing the best college basketball teams and talent to the island of Maui," said Tournament Chairman Dave Odom. "2020 is no different, with the Lahaina Civic Center hosting some of the game's most historic programs of all time."
The Maui Jim Maui Invitational is excited to announce a new element of the 2020 event. The Tournament has a longstanding tradition of presenting each team with its very own hand-made, customized surfboard, and will now be hosting a contest that sources the surfboard designs directly from the students of the participating schools. Contest winners will be announced in the fall and honored at the schools' surfboard presentations in 2020.
Ticket and travel packages will be available at a later date. For more information, visit MauiInvitational.com.
