This will be Michigan State's sixth appearance in the Maui Invitational.
Spartans coach Tom Izzo said a successful trip would be if his team won it all.
"[I] think I know how good North Carolina is, I think I know how good UConn is, I think I know how good Colorado and Iowa State and Auburn are," Izzo said last week. "And I'm leaving out Dayton, and they're damn good. But I don't know -- I think they're good, I don't know how good. So, when I get there and see it a little bit, I'll have a better idea and maybe then I'll change. But I mean, we're going to go and try to see what we can do. But there's going to be some good teams that are going to come back 1-2, and there's going to be one or two good teams that could come back 0-3. And that's the way it is in this tournament."
