Maui hoops: Colorado beats Chaminade 73-58 for seventh place


Associated Press

LAHAINA — Marcus Relphorde and Alec Burks each scored 13 points and Colorado used a late 13-2 run to fend off pesky Chaminade in taking seventh place at the Maui Invitational with a 73-58 victory Wednesday.

Austin Dufault scored 12 points and Dwight Thorne II added 10 for the Buffaloes, who were 8-of-11 on 3-pointers in the second half.
Chaminade, a Division II school, led 36-35 with 14:40 to play after consecutive 3-pointers by Steven Bennett. He scored a game-high 22 points, including five 3-pointers.
The deeper Buffaloes quickly responded, with Cory Higgins, Thorne and Dufault hitting 3-pointers as Colorado pulled away.
Thorne broke a tie with 5 seconds left in the first half when he hit a 3-pointer from the corner.
