SDSU vs The World in the Maui Invitational: #1 Duke, Xavier, Iowa St.

[soupslam1]

Down 17 at half with Duke hitting 9-17 from three. IMO SDSU is trying to double too much on the perimeter leaving guys open. Play one on one coverage on the perimeter and clog the lane if they drive. 

The Aztecs would still be in the game if they hit a few more shots, and didn’t turn over the ball. Still Duke is uber talented and really tough to defend. They can score inside and out with relative ease.

Bad final minute of the half. The foul on Mitchell hurt and it snowballed from there.

Duke is really tough.

3 touches, 2 passes, no dribbles, fast break for a layup.  Dang, textbook

UNR isn’t good enough for Maui.

 

Neither is UNLV

I think Duke will lose a couple of games this year against a Virginia or UNC when they are on the road and the shots aren’t falling. Early in the season their defense is still a work in progress. If they learn to play defense like some past Duke teams they will be unbeatable.

Syracuse looks like shit so far but if they can get their damn zone defense going, they might give Duke a run.

I think Virginia will give Duke the most problems with their slow down style of play and great defense.

You’re an idiot.  That’s why we were in the field three years ago.

[ph90702]

Abysmal performance by San Diego State.

[pokebball]

Why are any of SDSUs starters still in?  Save legs for the next two games

Nevada will be invited to Maui soon enough.

Duke's margin of victory to start the year: 34 over UK, 

22 (Army), 

38 (Eastern Michigan)

and now 26 (SDSU).

That's... insane

Not even Bama football has this type of talent disparity between them and the rest.

Nevada would give Duke a better game than SDSU

You would hope a team ranked sixth would. 

Then again, UK was #2

How is SDSU 3pt shooting this year?

I think a lot of teams in the MWC will struggle with Nevada this year

A lot of MW teams are struggling with everyone... 0-3 today so far, 1-1 sun, 0-2 sat

Aztecs missed a ton of open looks and bunnies. Wonder if nerves hit them or if they will be so-so on offense again this year.
