LAHAINA, Hawaii – Three seconds separated No. 6/6 Wichita State from its first Maui Jim Maui Invitational championship.

A pair of Martinas Geben free throws with 2.3 seconds to play capped a dramatic 67-66 comeback victory for No. 13/12 Notre Dame in tournament's championship game, Wednesday evening at the Lahaina Civic Center.

WSU (4-1) led for nearly 38 minutes but couldn't finish off the Fighting Irish (6-0). Up three with the ball and 21 seconds to play, the Shockers turned it over, then missed the front end of a crucial one-and-one.
