In the program's first appearance at the event, in 1990, Syracuse defeated Toledo, Ohio State and Indiana. The Orange returned in 1998 and disposed of Chaminade, Michigan and Indiana. Syracuse's most recent visit was in 2013 and Coach Jim Boeheim's club won against Minnesota, California and Baylor.

"The Maui Jim Maui Invitational strives to bring the best college basketball teams and talent to the island of Maui and set the precedent for the rest of the season," said Tournament Chairman Dave Odom. "The 2023 field is no exception, and we could not be more excited to return to our home at the Lahaina Civic Center and show these teams the magic of Maui."
Teams that have participated in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational throughout the event's history own 69 of the 82 NCAA championships, and seven of those schools have gone on to win the national championship after competing in Maui earlier in the season.

About the Maui Jim Maui Invitational
In December 1982, then No. 1 ranked Virginia, led by National College Player of the Year Ralph Sampson, played little-known NAIA Chaminade University in Honolulu while on the way back from a trip to Tokyo. The Silverswords stunned Virginia 77-72 in one of the greatest upsets in college basketball history. Two years later, in 1984, Chaminade University hosted the first Maui Jim Maui Invitational and it has proven to be the premier early-season college basketball tournament for 36 years running. Each year, the Maui Jim Maui Invitational attracts the top programs, best-known coaches and most outstanding players to compete in an exciting atmosphere at the Lahaina Civic Center near the beautiful beaches of Maui.
