For the second time in as many years, the BYU basketball team is playing in a regular-season tournament in Hawaii.
The Cougars posted a 1-2 record in the Maui Invitational a year ago, and they tip off in the first round of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu against Harvard Tuesday (2:30 p.m., MST, ESPNU) at the Stan Sheriff Center.
BYU will face either New Mexico, a former Mountain West Conference rival, or Auburn, in the second round Wednesday. The final day of the tournament will be on Friday, Christmas Day after the eight-team field takes a break on Christmas Eve.
