Butler 72, Marquette 71: In Lahaina, Hawaii, Butler's Rotnei Clarke hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to shock Marquette at the start of the Maui Invitational.
Clarke hit the improbable basket after the Bulldogs (2-1) drove the length of the court down two points with less than 8 seconds left.
The Verdigris graduate - who had missed most of his 3-point shots for the game - made the shot from the right side and was mobbed on the gym floor by his teammates after it went through.
Clarke had 20 points and made just 4-of-14 3-point attempts. But the shots he hit came in big moments, including two to tie in the first half.
Chaminade 86, Texas 73: In Lahaina, Hawaii, De'Andre Haskins scored 32 points to lead Division II Chaminade to an upset of Texas, 30 years after the tiny school made its mark on college hoops with its famous upset over top-ranked Virginia.
The win was just Chaminade's seventh at the Maui Invitational since the tournament started in 1984.
