San Diego State men’s basketball travels to Hawaii on Monday to face No. 1 Duke University in the Maui Invitational.
The invitational is a three-day, eight-team tournament from Nov. 19-21 that will feature six other programs: Arizona, Gonzaga, Xavier, Auburn, Illinois and Iowa State.
Aztecs head coach Brian Dutcher said matchups against a storied program like Duke are why players choose to go to SDSU.
“That’s why these kids come to San Diego State; we promise them we’re going to play marquee games and give them the opportunity to play on the biggest stage,” he said.
