BOULDER – The University of Colorado is set to participate in the 2024 Maui Jim Maui Invitational. The 41st edition of the prestigious tournament will be played Nov. 25-27, 2024 at the historic Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawai'i.
Colorado will join Auburn, Dayton, Iowa State, Memphis, Michigan State, North Carolina and 2023 NCAA champion UConn in its second trip to the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. The Buffaloes played in the 2009 event with a 1-2 record. Colorado had narrow losses to Gonzaga (76-72) and Arizona (91-87, in overtime) before a 73-58 win over Chaminade.

Colorado's last games against North Carolina (1997), Michigan State (2003) and UConn (2016) all came in the NCAA Tournament. Memphis is the only team in the field the Buffaloes have never faced.
Teams that have participated in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational throughout the event's history own 72 of the 83 NCAA Championships, and seven of those schools have gone on to win the National Championship after competing in Maui earlier in the season.
"There is simply no other early-season college basketball tournament that rivals the spirit, talent and overall 'magic' of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational," said Tournament Chairman, Dave Odom. "The 2024 field is not only going to bring top tier programs representing eight of the most dominant conferences in the sport, but also fans from all corners of the country. Whether it's your first time on-island, or you've made packing into the historic Lahaina Civic Center an annual tradition, this Tournament experience is on every college basketball fan's bucket list - and this loaded 2024 field is going to make it hard to resist."

The 2024 field will accomplish that and more," said Tom Valdiserri, executive vice president of KemperLesnik, the operator of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. "The field includes a variety of iconic programs and coaches, as well as respected up-and-comers. We are confident when we say that the Maui Jim Maui Invitational does not disappoint, and we think fans back home and on-island will be in for an epic few days of college basketball with this stacked field."
