Duke, Gonzaga face off in heavyweight Maui title game

LAHAINA, Hawaii -- The Maui Invitational championship matchup that most anticipated and preferred when the pairings for this tournament were originally announced will begin Wednesday at 5 pm. ET on ESPN when No. 1 Duke faces No. 3 Gonzaga in the title game.

The Blue Devils and Bulldogs were on most preseason lists of potential Final Four teams. But for different reasons. Duke was praised for its incoming talent, while Gonzaga was lauded for the group of players who returned.

Both Mike Krzyzewski and Mark Few will be remembered as two of the most talented coaches in college basketball history whenever they leave the game.
