>>Villanova Tops Michigan In Heavyweight Tilt

JayVaughn Pinkston put Villanova ahead and then kept it in front.

Pinkston hit a go-ahead basket with 16 seconds left and then blocked Zak Irvin at the other end as the No. 12 Wildcats defeated 19th-ranked Michigan 60-55 on Tuesday night in the Legends Classic championship game.

Pinkston, who was called for an offensive foul with 31 seconds remaining after powering into Derrick Walton on the right block a possession prior, barreled into a flopping Caris LeVert. Pinkston then went up and nailed the short jumper to give the Wildcats a 56-55 edge.

Michigan had seven seconds on the clock after Walton was stripped and Spike Albrecht fed a cutting Irvin down the paint. Pinkston met him at the rim and emphatically swatted his shot away.

Ryan Arcidiacono sunk a pair of foul shots with four ticks to play and Max Bielfeldt tossed the ensuing inbounds away. Arcidiacono then hit two more free throws to seal the outcome.

>>Arizona Survives Kansas State

Kansas State gave the No. 2 team in the country all it could handle, but Arizona nevertheless pulled out a hard-fought 72-68 victory in the semifinal round of the Maui Invitational.

Arizona (5-0) received 18 points from Kaleb Tarczewski, 15 from Gabe York and shot 63.2 percent from the field in the second half to advanced to Wednesday's championship game against San Diego State.

Marcus Foster paced Kansas State (3-2) with 23 points behind six 3-pointers.

>>VCU Gets By Oregon

VCU created a lot more havoc Tuesday night than it did on Monday.

Especially on Oregon's leading scorer Joseph Young.

Melvin Johnson had 19 points and No. 14 VCU pulled away from Oregon in the second half for a 77-63 win in the third-place game of the Legends Classic.

Briante Weber posted 11 points, 10 assists and four steals for the Rams (4-1). Jordan Burgess tallied 12 points and seven rebounds in the triumph.

Dillon Brooks netted 15 points to lead Oregon (3-2).
