It’s not exactly paradise, but the 20209 Maui Invitational is taking place in Asheville, N.C. and the No. 19 Texas Longhorns are set to face off against the Davidson Wildcats in the opening game on Monday at 11 a.m. Central on ESPN2.
Texas will also play games on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Tuesday’s opponent either Indiana or Providence, a stretch of play that will test the team’s conditioning and provide some early-season information about the group’s ultimate upside.
Led by Bob McKillop, who is now in his 32nd season leading the Wildcats, Davidson only lost one starter from last season’s 16-14 team.
