LAWRENCE — The Kansas basketball team will open the Maui Invitational against the home team, facing host Chaminade in a first-round matchup on Nov. 23.
In an eight-team field that also features Indiana, UCLA and Wake Forest, the Jayhawks will share the same side of the bracket with UCLA and UNLV. With a victory against Chaminade, a Division II program, Kansas would face the winner of the Bruins and Rebels on Tuesday, Nov. 24.
The championship game — which is set for Nov. 25, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving — could feature a juicy matchup in Kansas against Indiana — two teams that are already set to face off in Hawaii in an Armed Forces Classic non-conference matchup during the 2016-17 season.
