Holding out hope for Maui in 18 and this sophomore class will be seniors. I think that team has a chance to be very good. It's been a looooooooong time since NU's been out there. Perhaps the longest of any major conference school?

 

Looks like they've announced 5 of the 8 schools for that field, but no Big Ten team yet, so there's still hope?

Illinois announced to be in the 8-team field in '18 Maui Invitational, its "strongest field yet": http://mauiinvitational.com/news/2016/10/26/general-2018-tournament-features-strongest-field-in-history.aspx

home vs ACC/B1G Challenge

 

As noted above...not necessarily. There is a "new contract" so it could be an away game.
