Southwest Maui Invitational

Southwest Maui Invitational The nation's premier early-season college basketball tournament.

Half a century ago, the NCAA opened the door to greater competitive equity in college sports by adopting what is known by many as the Hawaiian Exemption, paving the way for Hawaii-based colleges to compete with mainland schools in spite of their geographic isolation. On December 23, 1982, little-known NAIA-school Chaminade upset top-ranked Virginia, led by three-time MVP Ralph Sampson, 77-72. Called "the greatest upset in college basketball history," the win put host Chaminade on the map nationwide and led to the creation of what was then called the Maui Classic.
