LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Steven Bennett scored on a contested drive with 16 seconds left and Division II Chaminade held on to pull off another upset, beating Oklahoma 68-64 in the seventh place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday.
Chaminade (4-2) led by 10 midway through the second half, withstood Oklahoma’s late rally and held on down the stretch to set off a wild celebration at midcourt in front of the home-state fans.
Shane Hanson had 23 points, while Mamadou Diarra added 15 points, 11 rebounds and hit two free throws with 8 seconds left to seal another win for the upset specialists.
Oklahoma (3-3) shot poorly from the perimeter — 6 for 22 from 3-point range — and was outscored 38-26 inside against the smaller Silverswords to finish off a disappointing tournament with one of its ugliest losses in years.
