LAHAINA, Hawaii — Top-ranked Duke beat giant-killer Ball State 83-71 Wednesday night, something No.3 UCLA and No.4 Kansas couldn't do the previous two days, and won the Maui Invitational for the third time in as many appearances.

        Duke's run to the title wasn't without a scare — the defending national champions just got past Seton Hall 80-79 in the opening round. But the Blue Devils (3-0) never gave Ball State (2-1) a shot at completing what would have been the best three days a team, especially an unranked one from a mid-major conference, ever had.

        “I was just glad to be along for the ride,” second-year Ball State coach Tim Buckley said. “I was told once that 100 people can handle failure but one in a 100 can handle success. Now we have to see how we handle success.”

        Jason Williams led Duke's defense while still coming up with 22 points. Tournament MVP Mike Dunleavy shook off first-half foul trouble to play his usual all-around game and had 16 points and nine rebounds. Carlos Boozer was a presence in the middle with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

        “Mike and Jason gave us great leadership and I thought our defense, especially Jason, was excellent,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We just played really well.”
