No. 5 Kentucky 73, Cleveland State 49 — Once John Wall gained his footing, not even a warped court could slow down Kentucky. The heralded freshman found his form in the second half and proved too much to handle in the open floor as the Wildcats (5-0) raced past Cleveland State (3-2) in the Cancun Challenge at the Moon Palace Resort in Mexico. Wall scored a team-high 15 points, including 11 after halftime.

No. 8 West Virginia 69, The Citadel 50 — John Flowers came off the bench to score 13 points and host West Virginia never trailed in a win over The Citadel. Kevin Jones added 11 points and Darrell Bryant and Casey Mitchell had 10 apiece for West Virginia (2-0). Cameron Wells scored 19 points for The Citadel (3-2).

No. 10 Syracuse 88, Cornell 73 — Freshman guard Brandon Triche scored a season-high 21 points, Andy Rautins added 18, and host Syracuse beat upstate foe Cornell (2-2). It was the 32nd straight win in the series for Syracuse (5-0), but the Orange didn't settle it until the second half.

No. 20 Illinois 78, Wofford 64 — Demetri McCamey scored 21 points and host Illinois used a second-half run to beat Wofford in the Las Vegas Invitational. The Illini (4-0) were in a tight game before using a 28-12 spurt in the second half to put the game away.

No. 23 Notre Dame 80, Kennesaw State 62 — Luke Harangody had 29 points and 15 rebounds to help host Notre Dame (5-0) beat Kennesaw State (2-2) in the Chicago Invitational Challenge. Harangody had a double-double in the first half with 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Tim Abromaitis added 14 points.

No. 24 Vanderbilt 68, Chaminade 41 — John Jenkins had 14 points and Vanderbilt went on a 24-0 run in the second half for a victory over tournament-host Chaminade (1-3) in a consolation-round game at the Maui Invitational.
