No. 1 Duke beats No. 8 Auburn 78-72 to reach Maui title game
November 21, 2018
By The Associated Press

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) R.J. Barrett and Cam Reddish scored 18 points each, and top-ranked Duke survived its stiffest challenge of the season, holding off No. 8 Auburn 78-72 Tuesday night to reach the Maui Invitational title game.

The Blue Devils (5-0) got off to another stellar start, looking as if they would run another top-10 team out of the gym. But the Tigers (4-1) clawed back, trimming a 17-point deficit to 61-56 in the second half by fearlessly attacking Duke at both ends.

Every time Auburn tried to get closer, however, the Blue Devils answered with an alley-oop dunk or step-back jumper.

Duke will play No. 3 Gonzaga on Wednesday night, seeking an unprecedented sixth Maui Invitational title.

Marques Bolden anchored Duke's defense, blocking seven shots while finishing with 11 points and nine rebounds. The Blue Devils blocked 11 shots overall.

Jared Harper had 22 points and Bryce Brown 16 for Auburn.

No. 3 GONZAGA 91, ARIZONA 74

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) - Rui Hachimura scored 24 points, Zach Norvell Jr. added 20 and Gonzaga earned a spot in the Maui Invitational title game with a win over Arizona.

Gonzaga (5-0) was out of sync late in the first half after a good start, falling into an eight-point hole.

The Zags turned the Lahaina Civic Center into The Kennel West early in the second, the cheers growing louder with each basket during a 15-2 run that put them up 56-53.

Two-time Maui champion Arizona (4-1) fought back to keep it close, but only for a little while. Gonzaga went on another run, pushing the lead 79-67, and kept the Wildcats at bay from there.

Justin Coleman had 28 points for Arizona, which had three assists on 21 field goals.

No. 16 CLEMSON 64, GEORGIA 49

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (AP) - Marcquise Reed scored 24 points and grabbed nine rebounds, Elijah Thomas had his second straight double-double and Clemson beat Georgia to reach the championship game of the Cayman Islands Classic.

The Tigers will play Creighton for the title Wednesday.

Thomas finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds for Clemson (5-0), off to its best start since the 2013-14 season. Shelton Mitchell, who scored a season-high 22 on Monday, chipped in with 13 points and David Skara had three of the Tigers' nine steals.

Coach Brad Brownell won his 154th game at Clemson, three from passing Bill Foster for second in program history.

Derek Ogbeide led Georgia (3-2) with 11 points.

LIPSCOMB 73, NO. 18 TCU 64

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Garrison Mathews had 23 points, Kenny Cooper scored 17 with a couple of breakaway layups off steals and Lipscomb held on to upset TCU for its first win over a Top 25 team.

Lipscomb (4-1), the ASUN Conference preseason favorite, had been 0-13 against ranked teams since 2006. All those losses were by double digits.

Alex Robinson had 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for TCU (3-1), which lost a November game for the first time since 2015. The Horned Frogs' 18-game winning streak during the month had been the second-longest among Division I programs, behind only Virginia's 21 in a row.

The Bisons built a 12-point lead before Mathews rebounded a missed 3-pointer by Kouat Noi that would have tied the game with just more than a minute left. Mathews then made a 3 at the other end.

No. 21 OREGON 83, GREEN BAY 72

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Bol Bol had 21 points and nine rebounds, Payton Pritchard added 18 points and Oregon held off Green Bay.

The Ducks (4-1) won the game at the foul line, making 33 of 42 free throws to just 9 of 18 for the Phoenix (3-3). Green Bay had a 27-22 edge in field goals, including 9-6 on 3-pointers.

Bol was the catalyst in the first half with 15 points as the Ducks led 38-29, and Pritchard scored 16 in the second half. Paul White and Will Richardson had 10 points apiece.

Sandy Cohen III led the Phoenix with 18 points.

No. 23 OHIO STATE 68, SAMFORD 50

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Kaleb Wesson scored 17 points, Keyshawn Woods added 14 and Ohio State shook off a sluggish first half to beat scrappy Samford.

Ohio State (5-0) seemed out of sync from the opening tip, as coach Chris Holtmann benched four starters for being late to ''game-day preparation,'' according to the school. The Buckeyes shot just 37.5 percent from the field in the first half while Samford shot 50 percent and led 32-29 at the break.

But in the second half, Ohio State went on a 21-3 run that sealed the win. The Buckeyes shot 50 percent to 24 percent for Samford (5-1).

Junior guard Myron Gordon led the Bulldogs with 18 points.

Quote of the Day
“There’s nothing we saw medically that didn’t allow him (Fultz) to play. He played last night. He played two days ago. Ever since Jimmy Butler came [last week] and [Fultz] wasn’t starting, I thought he played pretty well. I was proud of him the way he bounced back from a lot of things.”
76ers’ GM Elton Brand, on Markelle Fultz’ mysterious shoulder injury

Wednesday’s quiz
Before Washington’s NBA team changed its name to the Wizards, what was its nickname?

Tuesday’s quiz
In the baseball movie Bull Durham, Kevin Costner’s character Crash Davis is a catcher.

Monday’s quiz
Drew Brees played his college football at Purdue.

*************************

Wednesday’s List of 13: Mid-week musings…….

13) This exchange happened on ESPN2’s telecast during the Arizona-Iowa State game Monday night at the Maui Classic.

Bill Walton: “Did your dad play for Jerry Tarkanian?”

Jason Benetti: “My dad was an air traffic controller.”

Walton: “How cool would it have been, though, if your dad had played for Jerry Tarkanian?”

Benetti: Silence.

I enjoy listening to Walton a lot; it is a little bizarre at times, but always fun.

12) How to get ahead in the salary cap era; have really productive players who are early in their career. Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes makes $1.2M, RB Kareem Hunt $584,000, WR Tyreek Hill $687,000. NFL stands for “Not For Long” when it comes to those salaries.

11) In college football, assistant coaches in the press box have to take an elevator to get down to the locker room at halftime. Not all of the elevators are fast. In a UCLA game recently, Bruins’ coach Chip Kelly actually called a timeout to stall for time so his assistants would be in the locker room when the players got there. Thats called thinking of everything.

10) In his last two games, Charlotte’s Kemba Walker scored 60 points against the 76ers, 43 against the Celtics.

9) Why did the Redskins sign Mark Sanchez as their backup QB? Washington OC Matt Cavanaugh was Jets’ QB coach from ’09-’12. OL coach Bill Callahan was Jets’ OL Coach 2008-2011. Redskins’ QB coach Kevin O’Connell was once a backup QB for the Jets, so there is ton of familiarity for Sanchez to learn Washington’s system.

8) It is Thanksgiving week and four NHL coaches have already been fired. Seems a little early to be firing coaches, but what do I know?

7) Adrian Beltre retired this week, with 477 home runs in 21 years. Excellent career. Five Gold Gloves, over 3,100 hits, four All-Star games.

6) Kid on Iowa State wore different colored sneakers during their game with Illinois Tuesday; not sure why he did that, but I’m guessing he had another pair just like it in his locker. Am thinking the Nike people loved it when the kid was shooting free throws and the camera focused on his Nike sneakers for a few seconds. Free advertising.

5) Why would anyone trade for JR Smith? When a player publicly announces he wants to jump ship from a losing team that was recently a winning team, it tells you one thing: “The guy isn’t loyal” Why would you give up a player/draft pick to acquire this guy?

Smith is 33, is in his 15th NBA season, a career 37.3% 3-point shooter. Shooting is and always will be marketable; Smith will find a home, but that coach will probably have more headaches.

4) Ravens’ rookie QB Lamar Jackson ran the ball 27 times Sunday; since 1999, no QB has run the ball that many times in one game.

3) Gonzaga 91, Arizona 74— Wildcats led this game by 13 early in 2nd half, but Zags went wild after Arizona’s Chase Jeter got his 4th foul, bitched at the ref and got a technical, which became his 5th foul, ending his night. Gonzaga-Duke play for the Maui title tonight.

2) Lipscomb 73, TCU 64— Lipscomb is never on TV except maybe during Champ Week, but they’ve won 43 games the last two years, are 4-1 this year and were rated #115 in country prior to this upset of the Horned Frogs. Lipscomb was a 12.5-point underdog in this game.

1) The more I think about it, the more Jared Goff is starting to remind me of Troy Aikman; he is surrounded by a lot of stars on his team, including his coach, but he just does his job and wins lot of games and is a quiet star. Nothing wrong with that; Aikman is a Hall of Famer, and I’m pretty sure he’s really rich.

NCAA Basketball Game Preview - Marquette Golden Eagles vs. Kansas Jayhawks

The Duke Blue Devils are looking like the team to beat early in the college basketball season, but there is plenty of time for others to prove their strength. Another team expected to be right in the mix is the Kansas Jayhawks, who are ranked No. 2 in the nation and are off to an undefeated start. Kansas gets a nice test this week when it faces off against the Marquette Golden Eagles.

While Marquette isn’t as highly regarded, the Golden Eagles have success year in and year out and would love to pull this early-season upset. The Jayhawks are going to be favored in this game but Marquette should be able to hang around. If Marquette shoots the ball well this game could be close heading into the final minutes in NCAA basketball betting.

Odds Analysis

The Jayhawks are 3-0 thus far on season. They have played one tough foe and came away with a 92-87 victory over the Michigan State Spartans, which should help come NCAA Tournament time. The Jayhawks unsurprisingly cruised to victories over Vermont and Louisiana.

Marquette has won three of its four games early on. The Golden Eagles began with wins over UMBC and Bethune-Cookman but lost by 23 points to Indiana, the toughest team it has faced on the year. Marquette knocked off Presbyterian last time out but the blowout loss to the only high-major foe on the schedule so far is a bit concerning in NCAA basketball gambling.

Player To Watch

Udoka Azubuike -- The Kansas big man is back for his junior season and seems on his way to a dominant campaign. Azubuike is averaging 19.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per contest. He is shooting 67.6 percent on the season, which, unbelievably, is actually quite worse than last year when Azubuike shot a crazy 77 percent from the field.

Marquette needs to deny him easy looks as Azubuike clearly knows how to convert around the rim. The main thing that has slowed him down this year is foul trouble, as Azubuike played only 20 minutes in the win over Michigan State. If he sees the court for the majority of this one he could have a monster game.

Key Stat

7. That’s the number of three-pointers Marquette shooting guard Markus Howard made in the game against Bethune-Cookman earlier this season. He has one of the best shooting strokes in college basketball and the team’s best shot at the upset is if he catches fire from downtown.

Howard scored 37 points in that game and leads the team with an average of 20.0 on the season. Kansas has some athletic guards who will aim to take Howard out of his comfort zone but he only needs a little bit of room to get his shot off.

Howard shot 54 percent from three-point range as a freshman and 40.4 percent last season as a sophomore.

Free NCAA Basketball ATS Picks

Marquette has some good players and it should be in contention for March Madness this season, but Kansas is deeper and more talented. The Jayhawks should be able to keep a decent lead in the second half and hold off any runs Marquette might make.

Look for this one to be decently competitive but for the Jayhawks to come away with the victory in the end. Kansas is hoping to pile up the marquee wins in order to get a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament down the line in NCAA basketball odds.

B]No. 16 Clemson in Cayman final vs. Creighton
November 21, 2018
By STATS LLC Editorial[/B]

During the Brad Brownell era, Clemson is almost perfect when it locks down on defense.

The 16th-ranked Tigers will need to be at their best when they face Creighton and its high-scoring offense on Wednesday in the championship of the Cayman Islands Classic.

Clemson advanced with a 64-49 win over Georgia in the semifinals and is now 40-2 under Brownell when holding an opponent under 50.

"We did a tremendous job executing our defensive plan," the Tigers' coach said after Tuesday's win. "Tremendous job. It was a great win, but we're trying to get one more. We need to finish the job, finish our mission."

The Tigers had seven blocked shots and limited the Bulldogs to 5-for-18 from 3-point range, although Clemson was even worse from deep (5-for-20).

Marquise Reed had a game-high 24 points for the Tigers. Reed also had nine rebounds, as Clemson collected 11 on the offensive end, leading to an 11-1 advantage on second-chance points.

Clemson never trailed.

Creighton (4-1) shot better than 60 percent while racing to a 52-24 halftime lead and cruised to a 93-68 win over Georgia State in the other semifinal.

The Blue Jays, who made eight 3-pointers in the first half, also forced 11 turnovers.

I thought our guys collectively did a good job on (their guards) in the first half, and that was able to get us to the lead," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said after his team's win.

"And we were able to coast from there."

Both Creighton and Clemson are led by guards.

Reed and the Blue Jays' Ty-Shon Alexander are both averaging 17 points per game.

Creighton has faced zone defenses in their first two games in the Caymans, McDermott said. He expected Wednesday's final to be a different story.

"They're going to try to punch us in the mouth tomorrow with their man-to-man," he said.

The Blue Jays arrived in the Caribbean after suffering their first loss of the season, 69-60 to Ohio State. The island air has sparked their offense.

In wins over Boise State and the Panthers, the Blue Jays have shot 56 percent from the floor while averaging 93.5 points.

Clemson held off Akron 72-69 in the first round to advance, while Creighton topped Boise State 94-82.

By The Associated Press

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) Rui Hachimura scored 20 points and No. 3 Gonzaga blocked four shots in the final 46 seconds to hold off five-time champion Duke 89-87 Wednesday in the Maui Invitational title game.

Duke (5-1) trailed by 16 in the second half before mounting a massive charge with a series of dunks and drives to the basket. After the Blue Devils tied it at 87-all, Hachimura scored on a hard drive to put Gonzaga ahead.

The Zags (6-0) missed four free throws to give Duke a final shot, but Brandon Clarke blocked R.J. Barrett's drive on the game's final play.

Gonzaga beat a No. 1 team for the first time and ended Duke's unbeaten streak on the Valley Isle (17-1) with its second Maui Invitational title.

Barrett had 23 points and Zion Williamson scored 22 for Duke.

Zach Norvell Jr. scored 18 points for the Zags.

NO. 2 KANSAS 77, MARQUETTE 68

NEW YORK (AP) - Dedric Lawson had 26 points and 12 rebounds to lead Kansas in an NIT Season Tip-Off semifinal.

Marquette (3-1) led by as many as 12 in the first half before taking a 47-38 lead into the break. Then came the Jayhawks' 22-0 run.

Marquette went 0-of-10 from the field to start second half as Kansas (4-0) retook the lead in commanding fashion.

Kyle Guy also scored 15 points and Braxton Key added 13 for the Cavaliers (4-0), who never trailed but didn't put the game away until midway through the second half. Virginia led 9-0 and 30-9, only to see the Blue Raiders claw to within 38-30 early in the second half.

Guy answered with a 3-pointer to start a 9-0 run that stretched the lead back out. Middle Tennessee got no closer than 11 again.

Antonio Green scored 11 points to lead Middle Tennessee (3-2), which shot 39 percent.

NO. 10 KENTUCKY 87, WINTHROP 74

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - PJ Washington had 19 points and 11 rebounds, Tyler Herro added 15 points and Kentucky shot 56 percent to run away from Winthrop.

Coming off Sunday's tense victory over hot-shooting VMI, the Wildcats (4-1) had a far easier time against the Eagles as they used their size to control the boards 37-20 and scoring in the paint (42-24).

Washington was the catalyst, making 7 of 11 from the field on the way to his second consecutive double-double. Herro left the game briefly after taking a hard tumble in the first half but returned to make 6 of 14 with three 3-pointers.

Josh Ferguson, Charles Falden and Austin Awad each had 11 points, while Kyle Zunic and Adam Pickett added 10 apiece for Winthrop (2-3), which lost its second in a row.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (AP) - Sophomore Ty-Shon Alexander made seven 3-pointers and scored a career-high 36 points to lead Creighton to the upset in the championship game of the Cayman Islands Classic.

Alexander, who was named the most outstanding player of the tournament, was 9-of-16 shooting, missing just five from distance, and made all 11 of his free throws.

Clemson's Marcquise Reed completed a 3-point play with 28 seconds left and Elijah Thomas forced a turnover on an inbound play, leading to Shelton Mitchell's shot inside to pull to 83-80. Davion Mintz answered with two free throws at the other end, and after Reed was off on a 3-pointer, Mintz sealed it with a dunk.

Reed was 11 of 22 from the floor and scored 27 points for Clemson (5-1), reaching 1,001 points with the team.

NO. 20 IOWA 105, ALABAMA STATE 78

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Luka Gazra scored 22 points, freshman Joe Wieskamp had a career-high 20 and Iowa rolled in its home debut as a ranked team.

Tyler Cook scored 16 points and Isaiah Moss added 15 for the Hawkeyes (5-0), who dismissed any notion of a letdown with 68 first-half points - their most under ninth-year coach Fran McCaffery.

Iowa scored the game's first 12 points on its way to the rout. Wieskamp broke his previous career high of 15 points midway through the first half in helping the Hawkeyes stake out a 30-11 lead.

Reginald Gee had 16 points to lead Alabama State (2-3).

NO. 22 BUFFALO 110, DARTMOUTH 71

AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) - Nick Perkins had 18 points and 10 rebounds in Buffalo's win.

Buffalo, playing without leading scorer C.J. Massinburg in its first game after a nine-day layoff, raced to a 15-0 lead in the first five minutes. Buffalo had a 26-point lead at halftime.

Five players scored in double figures for Buffalo (4-0), which tied its record for points in a game since moving to Division I in 1994-95. Davonta Jordan and Jayvon Graves scored 16 points apiece for Buffalo, while Jeremy Harris and Jeenathan Williams each had 11.

Ian Sistare scored 18 points for Dartmouth (3-2), all in the first half, and Chris Knight added 17.

NO. 25 WISCONSIN 62, STANFORD 46

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) - Ethan Happ had 16 points and 12 rebounds before fouling out late, and Wisconsin beat Stanford in the first round at the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Sophomore Nate Reuvers had a tournament-record nine blocked shots for the Badgers (4-0), a total that also tied the longtime Wisconsin single-game record.

D'Mitrik Trice added 16 points for Wisconsin, which shot just 35 percent after halftime yet came up with a critical 9-0 burst to seize control after the Cardinal had gotten within a basket with 6:53 left.

Okpala scored 11 points but made 2 of 12 shots for the Cardinal (2-2), who shot 27 percent overall.

NO. 8 AUBURN 73, ARIZONA 57
