Of the teams participating, Arizona State (1994) and Texas (2020) are the only programs to previously raise a Maui Invitational trophy. The Longhorns won their championship in Asheville when the tourney was moved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. N.C. State, which has two national championships, is the only program in the 2025 field to have won an NCAA title.

Entering its debut season under head coach Will Wade, the Wolfpack features 12 newcomers, including nine players added via the transfer portal. Michigan State transfer Tre Holloman, Texas Tech transfer Darrion Williams, Houston transfer Terrance Arceneaux and McNeese transfer Quadir Copeland are among the key additions.
