Lahaina, Hawaii ? Most college basketball coaches will admit they don’t like to play a lot of zone defense. Virginia’s Pete Gillen isn’t in that group.

Devin Smith hit three three-pointers in the final six minutes – one more than Kentucky managed in the game against the Cavaliers’ matchup zone – and Virginia beat the 15th-ranked Wildcats 75-61 Tuesday in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational.

“We played it once last year against Georgetown for 38, 39 minutes,” Gillen said of the zone defense. “I’m not a zone coach but sometimes you have to put your ego in your pocket. We kept it basic, changed a couple of things.”

Smith, a 6-foot-5 junior college transfer, was 2-for-7 from three-point range in the Cavaliers’ first two games of the season but he made three of four from beyond the arc in the last six minutes of the game.

“Luckily, every time I was open I hit the shot,” he said.

Virginia (3-0) will play in tonight’s championship game against No. 19 Indiana, which beat No. 20 Gonzaga 76-75.

The Cavaliers’ matchup zone caused all kinds of problems for Kentucky (1-1), which went 2-for-22 from three-point range, missing its first 17 attempts .

Smith and Todd Billet led Virginia with 15 points each.

Marquis Estill, Jules Camara and Keith Bogans each had 12 points for Kentucky.

No. 13 Marquette 97, Eastern Illinois 74

Milwaukee – Dwyane Wade scored 28 points on 13-of-16 shooting in Marquette’s rout.

Robert Jackson scored 18 of his 22 points after halftime and grabbed nine rebounds as the Golden Eagles (4-0) extended their home winning streak to 19, their longest in seven seasons.

Wade set a school record by hitting his first 11 shots as the Golden Eagles raced to a 54-36 halftime lead over the Panthers (1-3).

Wade’s came out on top in his highly anticipated matchup with Henry Domercant, who was second in the nation in scoring a year ago with a 26.4-point average. Domercant finished with 27 points.

San Diego 86, No. 14 UCLA 81, OT

Los Angeles – Jason Keep, a transfer from Oklahoma State, scored 30 points and San Diego scored two three-pointers in overtime to upend UCLA.

The Bruins fell to 3-4 in season openers under seventh-year coach Steve Lavin, who was the target of derogatory shouts from fans filing out of Pauley Pavilion.

Jason Blair added 17 points for the Toreros, who beat a ranked team for just the second time in school history.

It was the first time San Diego coach Brad Holland, a former UCLA player and assistant, beat his alma mater.

No. 19 Indiana 76, No. 20 Gonzaga 75

Lahaina, Hawaii – Indiana lost all but one point of a 17-point lead during the final 3:02, but the Hoosiers held on to beat Gonzaga in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational.

Indiana (2-0) advanced to the championship game of the eight-team tournament for the third time since 1990.

A three-pointer by Tom Coverdale gave Indiana a 68-53 lead with 3:44 to play and a layup by Jeff Newton 22 seconds later gave the Hoosiers a 17-point lead. But the Bulldogs (2-1) pulled within 75-70 with 15 seconds left.

Coverdale and Jeff Newton each had 16 points for Indiana

Ronny Turiaf had 24 points for Gonzaga, matching his career-high from the first-round win over Utah.

No. 21 Cincinnati 80, Florida A&M 53

Cincinnati – Three-point specialist Field Williams regained his touch, scoring 22 points as Cincinnati (2-0) survived another round of poor shooting and beat Florida A&M.

Leonard Stokes added 14 points for Cincinnati, which shot 42 percent from the field, a figure inflated by a bunch of easy baskets after the backups took over in the closing minutes.

Terrence Woods scored 17 for Florida A&M (0-2).
