The Maui Invitational, which always seems to live up to expectations, came to a thrilling close on Wednesday as No. 4 Kansas outlasted Dayton, 90–84, in overtime to win the annual Thanksgiving week tournament.

Devon Dotson and Udoka Azubuike both turned in career outings for the Jayhawks. Dotson led all scorers with 31 points on 11-for-16 shooting and added six rebounds, five steals and four assists, while Azubuike finished with 29 points and four blocks on 12-for-15 shooting.

The Flyers and Jayhawks traded blows in a high-level affair before Jalen Crutcher sent the game to OT with a three-pointer with three seconds remaining in regulation.
