LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) _ Duke, which has won a record three tournament titles, will play Princeton in the opening round of the 2007 EA Sports Maui Invitational.

Arizona State will play Illinois in the other game in that half of the bracket of the eight-team tournament, which was announced Tuesday.

The four first-round games in the 24th edition of the tournament will be played at the Lahaina Civic Center on Nov. 19. The semifinals are Nov. 20 with the championship game on Nov. 21.

The Blue Devils are 9-0 on Maui, having won the championship in 1992, 1997 and 2001.
