No. 14 Arizona handles Cincinnati to cap Day 1 of 2022 Maui Invitational
LAHAINA, Hawaii — At this point, it’s a rule: If Arizona and San Diego State are in an early season college basketball tournament in Hawaii, they will find a way through the bracket to each other.
The No. 14 Wildcats made the semifinal matchup complete to cap Day 1 of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational, topping Cincinnati 101-93 in a high-octane first-round contest on Monday.
Arizona and No. 17 SDSU will meet at 5:30 p.m. (7:30 Pacific) on Tuesday for a spot in Wednesday’s championship. It’s a dream pair of pairings for the tournament’s organizers, as No. 9 Arkansas and No. 10 Creighton will meet on the other side of the bracket.
