*****Maui Invitational Championship: Duke 87 Vs. Gonzaga 89 - Final*****

[oldsports_]

How many 5* does Gonzaga have?. Few has this team locked and loaded this year.
I'll take Duke by 12 though, book it

 

[Kace-1]

DU is playing like they're still in the locker room.

 

[Big_C_KU]

Zion clearly dove for the loose ball and they called a push on Gonzaga. Haha.

 

[ExitFlagger]

40 and uh oh!

 

[Kace-1]

Gonzaga's playing like a team that's tired of being eliminated by the ACC every year come March.

 

[Kace-1]

61-47 GU with 15:44 to go and we're at break.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

At least it's against a top 5 team and not St Johns or Boston College.

Gonzaga looks good. Not just because they're waxing the floor with Duke. They legit look good.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Duke's playing like they thought they were facing another SEC team tonight.

 

[Kace-1]

This break brought to you by sunglasses. Wear them outside, or inside if you're blind and shit.

"LISTEN THEY ARE VERY YOUNG" signed any ESPN hack after this game..

The SEC just doesn't prepare one for West Coast Speed.

 

[bkingUK]

Gonzaga > Cavs

 

[Kace-1]

Williamson needs to be more of the Z-Factor to get DU back in this.

 

[Kace-1]

GU is up 12 at the moment. DU's having a hard time getting back in this. They play like this in March, they're getting Lehighed again.

 

[bkingUK]

If Duke loses to a mid major how bad is Kentucky?

Duke is still probably going to win. Asking for a friend.

 

[Kace-1]

The BD's may have figured out that driving to the lane is the way to go since they can draw fouls.

 

[Kace-1]

14 point lead for GU.

 

[bkingUK]

I don’t understand how we lost to this team by 30. Just guard Zion and Barrett.

 

[Kace-1]

To reiterate, Duke's only lead in this game was 2-0 early in the 1st.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

My tail is securely between my legs.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

My God, everything is going the Zags way.

 

[Kace-1]

We make the next break with GU still in command, 70-59 with 11:25 remaining in Lahaina.

 

[j-doolsheels]

A lot of bad fouls again in favor of Duke

 

[Kace-1]

DU managed to slice into the lead a little, but obviously not enough.

Worse than a mid major, obviously. And no Duke won’t win this. All credit to Zags. Hitting shots. Playing smart. Very disciplined. No excuses here, Gonzaga playing better today.

 

[Kace-1]

Coming up next on ESPN, Not College Basketball.

They would probably install a mercy rule if Gonzaga played Kentucky.

Only a 10 point game with 11 still to go...

 

[Kace-1]

So this Norvell fella's good.

 

[Noahtogo24]

Can Norvell be a NBA first round pick??

 

[LandofOzDevil]

Only a 10 point game with 11 still to go...

They hit their 3s. They can shoot the ball. Thus far I’m very impressed

 

[Kace-1]

Timeout GU with 10:05 to go and up 12.

 

[bkingUK]

Getting real about Duke, it’s Williamson, Barrett, Reddish and then mostly a bunch of over achieving white guys.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Just saying. He traveled and never had control of the ball when he called timeout. But whatever.

 

[bkingUK]

I think possibly Kentucky was Duke’s super bowl where Kentucky viewed it as an early season exhibition. Kentucky effect?

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Getting real about Duke, it’s Williamson, Barrett, Reddish and then mostly a bunch of over achieving white guys.

Jack white is a bunch of overachieving white guys?

 

[Kace-1]

They need to dry that floor.

 

[Kace-1]

"Gonzaga's got to keep scoring."

Damn, Jay that's brilliant.

 

[j-doolsheels]

Reddish is such a smooth shooter.
