Lahaina Civic Center (2,400)<br />

Honolulu, Hi. • Nov. 21, 2006<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. 20/22 68<br />

UCLA No. 5/5 73<br />

Luc Richard Mbah A Moute scored 18 points despite playing<br />

the final 8 1/2 minutes with four fouls, leading No. 5 UCLA to a 73-<br />

68 victory over No. 20 <strong>Kentucky</strong> in the semifinals <strong>of</strong> the EA Sports<br />

Maui Invitational.<br />

Mbah A Moute scored six <strong>of</strong> UCLA's last 10 points, ignoring the<br />

foul trouble to go inside for the first four points and then throwing<br />

down a dunk on the break to make it 69-65 with <strong>25</strong> seconds to play.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> got to 71-68 on a layup by Randolph Morris with 2<br />

seconds to go, but Arron Afflalo, who struggled from the field all<br />

game, made two free throws with .6 seconds to go for the final margin.<br />

Afflalo finished with 14 points on 5-for-18 shooting, including 1-<br />

for-8 from 3-point range, while Lorenzo Mata added 12 points and<br />

11 rebounds.<br />

Joe Crawford had 16 points for the Wildcats, while freshman<br />

guard Derrick Jasper had 12 points and nine rebounds.<br />

UCLA jumped out to a 26-9 lead, but the Wildcats were able to<br />

get it down to 38-30 at halftime.<br />

The final 10 minutes were the kind <strong>of</strong> game one would expect<br />

from the two most successful programs in college basketball history<br />

- UCLA holds a record 11 NCAA championships, four ahead <strong>of</strong><br />

runner-up <strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />

The Wildcats were finally able to tie the game for the first time<br />

at 48 on a 3 by Crawford with 11:46 to play, and their first lead <strong>of</strong><br />

the game came 1:24 later on two free throws by Jasper.<br />

There were three lead changes and four ties the rest <strong>of</strong> the way<br />

and neither team managed more than a five-point lead until<br />

Afflalo's dunk with 8 seconds left made it 71-65.<br />

Mbah A Moute scored down low to make it 67-62 with 2:20 left<br />

and Crawford answered with a three-point play 18 seconds later.<br />

After a <strong>Kentucky</strong> turnover and a UCLA miss, Wildcats coach<br />

Tubby Smith called two timeouts in a 13-second span, but Bruins<br />

point guard Darren Collison foiled any strategy by stealing the ball<br />

from Ramel Bradley and then found Mbah A Moute on the break for<br />

the game-clinching dunk.<br />

Afflalo, one <strong>of</strong> two returning starters from last season's national<br />

runner-up, entered the game shooting 56 percent from the field<br />

and 55 percent on 3s. In his first two seasons at UCLA he shot 46<br />

percent overall and 37 percent from beyond the arc.<br />

<strong>KENTUCKY</strong> BASKETBALL<br />

5<br />

Lahaina Civic Center (2,400)<br />

Honolulu, Hi. • Nov. 22, 2006<br />

Memphis No. 11/12 80<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. 20/22 63<br />

Freshman Willie Kemp scored 10 <strong>of</strong> his 12 points in the opening<br />

four minutes <strong>of</strong> the second half and No. 12 Memphis topped<br />

No. 20 <strong>Kentucky</strong> in an 80-63 victory in the third-place game <strong>of</strong> the<br />

EA Sports Maui Invitational.<br />

The Tigers were too fast for the Wildcats because <strong>of</strong> Kemp and<br />

fellow guard Andre Allen pushing the ball on the break. And they<br />

were too much inside with 6-foot-9, 260-pound Joey Dorsey keying<br />

the game-breaking 14-0 run in the second half with two monster<br />

dunks.<br />

Memphis bounced back from a disheartening 92-85 semifinal<br />

loss to No. 19 Georgia Tech, a game which the Tigers held a 16-<br />

point halftime lead only to be outrebounded 29-9 in the second<br />

half.<br />

There was no problem on the boards against <strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />

Memphis had a 38-27 rebound advantage, including 11-5 on the<br />

<strong>of</strong>fensive end.<br />

Center Randolph Morris was most <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s <strong>of</strong>fense<br />

throughout the first 30 minutes <strong>of</strong> the game. He finished with 18<br />

points and Joe Crawford had <strong>15</strong>.<br />

Robert Dozier, who was scoreless and fouled out in the loss to<br />

Georgia Tech, had <strong>15</strong> points for Memphis, while Chris Douglas-<br />

Roberts and Jeremy Hunt each had 13. Dorsey finished with six<br />

points and seven rebounds.<br />

Memphis led 43-40 after a first half that saw four lead changes<br />

and two ties over the final seven minutes. That all changed at the<br />

start <strong>of</strong> the second half when the 6-2 Kemp, who started all four<br />

games and came in averaging 8.7 points, took over.<br />

He was scoreless in eight minutes in the first half after picking<br />

up two fouls. He hit two 3s then scored twice on drives as the<br />

Tigers took a 55-46 lead four minutes into the second half.<br />

The pace <strong>of</strong> the game changed to what the Tigers like and<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> suddenly wasn't getting any <strong>of</strong>fense from Morris down<br />

low.<br />

Dorsey dunked to start the deciding 14-0 run. He then blocked<br />

a shot by Sheray Thomas and took <strong>of</strong>f on the break. The run was<br />

worth it when he took a short pass on the wing and threw down a<br />

power dunk. <strong>Kentucky</strong> coach Tubby Smith called a timeout but the<br />

tide was definitely the Tigers' way.<br />

Antonio Anderson's 3-pointer with 8:21 to go capped the run<br />

and Memphis was up 73-50.<br />

The third-place finish matched Memphis' best (1992) in four<br />

appearances on Maui.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong>, which lost 73-68 to No. 5 UCLA in the semifinals,<br />

won the tournament in 1993, and finished third in 1997 and 2002.<br />

2006-07 <strong>KENTUCKY</strong> WILDCATS<br />

Rupp Arena (22,477)<br />

Lexington, Ky. • Nov. 28, 2006<br />

Col. <strong>of</strong> Charleston 61<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> 77<br />

Freshman Perry Stevenson came <strong>of</strong>f the bench for the first time<br />

with a career-high 14 points as <strong>Kentucky</strong> rebounded from a setback<br />

in the Maui Invitational with a 77-61 victory over College <strong>of</strong><br />

Charleston.<br />

Randolph Morris led the Wildcats with 17 points and eight<br />

rebounds, but it was Stevenson who nailed the early shots with the<br />

game on the line. He missed all three free-throw attempts but connected<br />

on all seven field-goal tries -- more than doubling his previous<br />

high <strong>of</strong> three.<br />

The Wildcats, who dropped out <strong>of</strong> the Top <strong>25</strong> this week after<br />

losses in Maui against now-No. 1 UCLA and Memphis, missed<br />

their first nine shots and didn't hit a field goal until more than six<br />

minutes had passed.<br />

Stevenson's dunk pulled the Wildcats to within three points<br />

midway through the first half and began a 17-0 run that buried the<br />

Cougars.<br />

Seconds later, Stevenson showed <strong>of</strong>f a new signature move --<br />

an under-the-basket hook flip that gave the Wildcats their first lead<br />

at 12-11. He did it again the next time down, drawing the foul --<br />

albeit missing the free throw -- in the process.<br />

Charleston's star guard Dontaye Draper had only two points in<br />

the first half but found his shot in the second, leading the Cougars<br />

with <strong>15</strong> points.<br />
