Can Auburn's experience provide challenge for Duke's freshmen?

MAUI, Hawaii -- In just the fifth game of their collegiate careers, No. 1 Duke's talented freshmen will face their second top-10 opponent of the year in a semifinal matchup against No. 8 Auburn on Tuesday in the Maui Invitational.

Last year, the Tigers won a share of the SEC title but the memorable season ended with a lopsided loss to Clemson in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The current group, however, is healthier and stronger than the Tigers from a year ago.
