LAHAINA, Hawaii -- The Illinois caught a huge wave of scoring in Hawaii and rode it all the way to the Maui Invitational title. Now, the Illini are hoping to carry that success to bigger tournaments that start in March. "We are excited -- we are not done," Illinois coach John Groce said Wednesday night after Illinois beat Butler 78-61 to top an eight-team field that included No. 9 North Carolina and Marquette. "It is an extremely great start for our basketball team, but we have to make sure we do not eat the poisonous pill of success," Groce said. Brandon Paul scored 20 points to lead Illinois in the teams third straight double-digit win. "We came out with the mindset that we wanted to prove ourselves, and I think we did that," Paul said. "Were in no shape to just stop right here." The Illini (6-0) held off several attempts by Butler to string points together in the second half. Paul was one of four players in double figures, along with Tracy Abrams with 17 points and Tyler Griffey and D.J. Richardson with 14 each. Illinois shot 48 per cent as Butler (3-2) relied almost exclusively on point guard Rotnei Clarke to score. Clarke had 27 points and took nearly one-third his teams shots.

While Clarke scored 16 points in the first half for Butler, his teammates made only four baskets. In the middle of a nine-point run, Paul gave Illinois a 12-point lead with a straightaway 3-pointer after Clarke missed on the other end. One basket later, the Illini led 37-22 with less than four minutes left in the half. Illinois and Butler each reached the tournaments title game by winning games on consecutive days. Butler opened the event with a buzzer-beating win over Marquette, 72-71, after Clarke launched a running 22-foot 3-pointer from the right side as time expired.
