Kansas: UCLA in Maui Invitational semifinals on Tuesday. “It’s a huge job for the guards and for everybody to get to the line and make free throws”.

Kansas guard Frank Mason eyes the floor during the Jayhawks’ semifinal game against UCLA Tuesday at the Lahaina Civic Center.
The Red Storm received a balanced scoring attack with Durand Johnson putting up 18 points, Ron Mvouika scoring 12 points and Yankuba Sima adding 10 points.
With the game tied at 62, back-to-back 3-pointers by Jared Nickens and Sulaimon gave the Terrapins (4-0) a six-point cushion 3:45 left. Vanderbilt never trailed in its first two games of the tournament and the first half of the title game…. Other key contributors include freshman F Carlton Bragg Jr. Sophomore G Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (4.5 ppg) and freshman G Lagerald Vick (3.0 ppg) provide depth on the perimeter. The Jayhawks squashed any lingering disappointment from the loss to MI State. Five of which were made by Chaminade junior Kiran Shastri. They had 11 of each against Kansas.
In case just watching Graham frustrate Alford did not fully illustrate the first-year starter’s worth in this one, watching what Alford did when Graham was out of the game hammered home his importance. Chaminade fell to Alaska-Anchorage 92-90 on November 13 and at Alaska, 112-102 the following day. Chaminade coach Eric Bovaird said. Pedroso is averaging 20 points per game to go along with his 52% mark from three-point land.
A flood of turnovers, and more problems defending the paint, handed UNLV early momentum and built a 27-12 lead over an IN team that looked totally out of sorts at both ends of the floor. Pedroso has made a team-high nine 3-pointers. Kevin Yogi Ferrell leads the Hoosiers averaging 16.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. “We will celebrate on the bus but once we get to the hotel property we will be getting ready for Vanderbilt, another good team”.
The Rebels got out to a hot start, leading by as many as 15 points in a dominant first half, but almost collapsed in a roller coaster second half.
The Wayne Selden who tantalized Kansas with his assertiveness and efficiency this past summer resurfaced Wednesday night in Maui. KU would finish the Maui invite in fourth place losing its next two contests to Iowa and IL. Stephen Zimmerman Jr. of UNLV, who missed the Chaminade game because he was ill, finished with two points and four rebounds.
Coach Bill Self made sure 12 different players saw action Tuesday with the win well in hand, especially since the Jayhawks must play Vanderbilt in the championship game Wednesday.
