The Maui Invitational will bring eight of the NCAA 's best men's teams to Lahaina 's 2,400 -seat gymnasium for three days .
Organizers moved the tournament to Honolulu last year when many survivors were still living in hotels and rubble littered properties.
"It's been a year and more, but things are still a little raw," athletic director Jon Conrad says.
"People are in a weird state right now over here," he says.
Tickets to the games this year range from $56 to $ 236 depending on the game and seat location.
Local residents get about a 28% discount.
Tournament organizers and teams will hold basketball clinics for local students.
Organizers have reminded participating schools and their teams to be respectful.
