Last year, it was announced that USC men’s basketball will play in the 2025 Maui Invitational. On Tuesday, we learned who the Trojans’ first opponent in Hawaii will be.
USC will open the tournament against Boise State on Monday, November 24 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time/12:00 p.m. Hawaii time. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. This will be the first ever matchup between the two programs.
Also featured in this year’s tournament will be Seton Hall, North Carolina State, Washington State, Chaminade, Arizona State, and Texas. Every team will play three games in the tournament.
“The 2025 Southwest Maui Invitational features yet another competitive field and includes three teams making their Tournament debut and two previous Tournament champions,” Tournament Chairman and longtime college basketball head coach Dave Odom said in a press release. “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.”
USC is entering year two under head coach Eric Musselman. The trip to Maui will offer the Trojans with an early opportunity to test themselves prior to Big Ten play.
