North Carolina led 55-42 at halftime, then used a 14-0 spurt early in the second half to blow the game open and crack the 100-point mark for the second time in three days. Harrison Barnes also scored 16 for UNC, which had a dozen players score and four reach double figures. Kellen Thornton scored 15 points to lead the Tigers (2-3), while Kenny Moore added 14. Tennessee State hung around in the first half, hitting seven of 11 3-pointers in the game, but the Tar Heels held the Tigers to 11-for-33 shooting (33 percent) after halftime as they pulled away. No. 6 Duke 82, No. 15 Michigan 75: Austin Rivers had 20 points, Seth Curry and Ryan Kelly had 17 each, and No. 6 Duke shot its way into another Maui Invitational championship game with a win over No. 15 Michigan. Duke (6-0) put on an offensive show near the shores of the sparkling Pacific Ocean, scoring on an array of 3-pointers and spectacular shots to remain undefeated (14-0) at the Maui Invitational. Andre Dawkins added 14 points and the Blue Devils hit 11 of 21 3-pointers while shooting 56 percent overall to earn a spot in Wednesday night's title game against the winner between No. 14 Kansas and UCLA. Michigan (4-1) struggled early, falling behind by 16, and fought its way back by hitting 21 of 34 shots in the second half. The Wolverines never made it all the way back, unable to slow down the sure-shooting Blue Devils to slip into the third-place game. Tim Hardaway Jr. had 19 points and Trey Burke added 17 points and nine assists for the Wolverines. No. 7 Louisville 54, Arkansas State 27: Arkansas State coach John Brady identified one positive Tuesday: The Red Wolves never quit trying. Brandon Peterson had six points and 10 rebounds and Arkansas State lost against No. 7 Louisville in the lowest-scoring game for the Red Wolves since the shot clock was implemented in 1986. No. 8 Memphis 99, Tennessee 97: In control most of the way after a big run early, No. 8 Memphis let Tennessee back in the game, even gave the Vols have a a couple chances to win it. The Tigers needed two overtimes to get through, but they pulled out the victory, a big step after a short turnaround. No. 11 Wisconsin 77, Missouri-Kansas City 31: Jared Berggren scored a career-high 21 points and Wisconsin again used a suffocating defense to pave the way to an easy win, beating Missouri-Kansas City. No. 17 Pittsburgh 73, La Salle 69: Trailing by three in the final seconds against No. 17 Pittsburgh, La Salle's Sam Mills had the ball — and a dilemma — in his hands. Take the 3-pointer or drive to the basket? Mills saw Pitt point guard Travon Woodall in the way and opted to head to the hoop. Bad idea. Woodall stretched out every last inch of his 5-foot-11 frame to block Mills' late layup attempt, helping the Panthers escape with a win.
