MUNCIE, IND. ? No. 5 Georgetown 57, Ball State 48

Roy Hibbert scored 16 points and had seven rebounds, and Georgetown made seven 3-pointers in a victory over outmanned Ball State.

The Cardinals (0-3) were led by Peyton Stovall with 16 points.

Ball State, playing with only seven scholarship players, had nobody taller than 6-foot-4 and announced before the game that Anthony Newell, their top scorer, would miss six to eight weeks due to a left foot injury.

Georgetown relied on its superior size, depth and talent, and used a 22-7 run over an eight-minute stretch in the first half to build a 31-18 halftime lead. DaJuan Summers and Jessie Sapp each scored 11 points for Georgetown.

No. 6 Louisville 68, UNLV 48

Las Vegas – Earl Clark had 16 points and 12 rebounds and Jerry Smith added 14 points to lead Louisville past UNLV.

Louisville (3-0) led by double digits in the first half, but UNLV made four straight 3-pointers to take a 35-33 lead with 14:36 left.

Following a timeout, Louisville scored the next nine points, including 3-pointers from Terrence Williams and Edgar Sosa and never trailed again. The outburst was capped by a transition dunk from Clark in a decisive 16-2 run.

UNLV (3-1), which had won its previous 19 games at home, got a team-high 11 points from Matt Shaw, the lone Rebel in double figures.

No. 13 Duke 73, No. 11 Marquette 71

Lahina, Hawaii – Two things are perfect on Maui: the weather and Duke basketball.

Freshman forward Kyle Singler scored 25 points, including the clinching free throws with 13 seconds to play, and the Blue Devils beat Marquette to claim their fourth EA Sports Maui Invitational championship.

Duke (5-0) won the title here in 1992, 1997 and 2001.

Its first 11 wins came by an average of 18.9 points, and nine were by at least 10 points. This one went down to the final seconds.

No other school has won more than two championships in the 24 years of this event.

DeMarcus Nelson added 16 points for the Blue Devils, whose fans were chanting “our house” in the final minute and as the awards were given out.

The Lahaina Civic Center may not be Cameron Indoor Stadium, but Duke has a better winning percentage there.

Lazar Hayward had 14 points for the Golden Eagles (4-1), who were making their first appearance in the tournament.

Marquette beat Duke 73-62 in the championship game of the CBE Classic in Kansas City, Mo., exactly a year ago.

Ohio State 79, No. 21 Syracuse 65

New York – Freshman Kosta Koufos scored a career-high 24 points to help Ohio State beat Syracuse in the NIT Season Tip-Off semifinals.

The Buckeyes (3-0) will play No. 16 Texas A&M on Friday night in the championship game. The Aggies beat Washington 77-63 in the other semifinal.

Koufos, a 7-foot freshman, has gotten better every game. He had 18 in his debut against Wisconsin-Green Bay and then scored 19 against Columbia to help Ohio State advance to New York.

Othello Hunter added 15 points, and Jamar Butler had 14 for the Buckeyes. Donte Greene scored 21, and Eric Devendorf added 15 for the Orange (3-1), who beat Siena and Saint Joseph’s to advance to the semifinals. Syracuse had won the NIT championship the previous two times the Orange made it to New York in 1988 and 2001.

No. 24 Clemson 74, Presbyterian 57

Clemson S.C. – K.C. Rivers scored 18 points, Cliff Hammonds added 14, and Clemson improved to 17-0 in the last three Novembers with a victory over Presbyterian.

The Tigers (4-0) are 22-1 in November during coach Oliver Purnell’s five seasons.

Clemson hit just two of its first 11 3-pointers, committed 20 turnovers and went to the foul line just once in the first 30 minutes against Blue Hose (0-6).

Al’Lonzo Coleman had 18 points, while Pat Kiscaden finished with 16 for Presbyterian.

Kiscaden hit 4-of-8 from 3-point range and is an impressive 27-of-44 on the season.
