On the 30-year anniversary of Chaminade beating then-no. 1 ranked Virginia, the Silverswords get another upset victory in the tournament they host, upsetting Texas 86-73.
Greatest irony of the game: This is Rick Barnes second loss to Chaminade in the Maui Invitational. He was the head coach of the 1991-92 team that lost to the Silverswords in the first round. That Providence team finished 14-17.
In the 28th edition of the tournament, it was their first victory in the tournament since a 68-64 win over Oklahoma in the seventh place game in 2010 and just their fourth win in the first round of the tournament ever. They’re now 7-76 all-time in the tournament with all of their victories coming in either the opening round or seventh place game.
