Arizona and Creighton are meeting up for just the third time in each program's history and the first time since the 60s when the two teams squared off in Tucson. This game will be for the Maui Invitational title after both teams battled their way through the field over the last two days. Creighton had a more challenging path having to take down No. 9 Arkansas to reach today's title game, but Arizona looked better on its way to the tournament final. It will be another challenging test for the Wildcats, which could end up looking like a much different team nationally than it did prior to arriving in Hawaii. Winning the whole tournament in Maui would certainly send a strong message about where Arizona should sit on the national stage and help build some momentum heading into an important stretch of games in the coming weeks.

We have the game thread up a little early just in case you want to join in the conversation, and our staff will have you dialed in with updates once tip-off time comes.
