EA SPORTS Maui Bracket Released
The EA SPORTSTM Maui Invitational® Hosted by Chaminade University announced the bracket for the 28th edition of Basketball In Paradise® Thursday. Tennessee is slated to face Duke on Monday, Nov. 21. Pending the outcome of that day's games, the Volunteers will be matched up with either Memphis or Michigan on Tuesday, Nov. 22. All eight teams also will play a third game on Wednesday, Nov. 23.
The Nov. 21 clash with the Blue Devils serves as a tiebreaker of sorts for both programs, as the all-time series is deadlocked at 7-7, dating to the first meeting 100 years ago (Duke defeated the Vols 48-25 in Durham on Feb. 20, 1911). The programs have not met since UT posted a 90-69 win at the Sugar Bowl Classic in New Orleans, La., on Dec. 29, 1980.
The Volunteers previously competed in the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational in 2004, finishing fourth at the event after defeating Stanford and falling to North Carolina and Texas.
