Arizona will attempt to win its third Maui Invitational title on Wednesday in Lahaina.
No. 10 Creighton vs No. 14 Arizona * Maui Invitational championship game * Lahaina, Hawaii * 3 p.m. * ESPN * 1290-AM, Varsity NetworkC Oumar Ballo People are also reading… F Arthur Kaluma The series: Arizona has not faced Creighton since the 1960s, when the teams split the two only games they have ever played against each other. Creighton won 70-66 on Dec. 15, 1967 while Arizona won 72-63 at home on Jan. 16, 1969.
Nembhard was one of three Creighton players named to the Big East’s all-freshman team last season, along with guard Trey Alexander and forward Arthur Kaluma, who played high school ball for Dream City Christian in Glendale. The Bluejays added highly touted transfer Baylor Scheierman, who was also briefly a UA recruiting target after entering the portal last spring out of South Dakota State, while they also return well-rounded big man Ryan Kalkbrenner.
“We had a battle against Arizona, and the Zags came out on top,” Lloyd said. “The gift was you got to play Zion and RJ and Duke at noon. So that's just what it is. You know that coming in a Maui, and trust me, we know what's at stake.”While Arizona continues to wait for possible sanctions resulting from the 2017 federal investigation and other alleged violations, the Bluejays have already settled up.
While Creighton’s case went through the standard NCAA penalty track, Arizona requested its case be moved to the IARP. It was accepted into the IARP in December 2020 but remains pending.While former UA forward Daniel Batcho of Texas Tech won’t get a chance to play against his former teammates, he is making the best of his appearance in Maui.
