"Due to the wildfires that devastated Maui last month, organizers of the Maui Invitational are finalizing plans to move the men’s college basketball tournament to Honolulu on the island of Oahu, multiple sources told The Messenger. If the deal is finalized as expected, an official announcement could be made by the end of the week.
Ongoing talks have centered on playing games from Nov. 20–22 at the University of Hawaii’s SimpliFi Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center. The venue seats 10,300 and is considerably larger than the 2,400-seat Lahaina Civic Center, the tournament’s traditional home."
