LAHAINA, Hawaii — The Maui Invitational is underway with one of the most stacked fields in tournament history.

No. 8 Auburn opened the tournament against Xavier on Monday in front of an already-rowdy crowd at the tiny Lahaina Civic Center.

The field is led by top-ranked Duke, which has won the title each of the previous five years it played in Maui. The Blue Devils open against San Diego State.

No. 3 Gonzaga faces Illinois and Arizona plays Iowa State.
