The Maui Invitational, which tips off tomorrow, is loaded with talent, but the real subplot is the potential battle between Kentucky and Washington.
Here is an excerpt from Yahoo! Sports:
Nestled within this must-see lineup is an intriguingly juicy subplot for a game that might not even happen: Kentucky vs. Washington in the second round.

One of the most sought-after players in the country, Jones had waffled between wanting to play for Calipari and one of the college basketball’s storied programs, or staying in the Pacific Northwest to play for Romar’s on-the-rise Huskies.
