Memphis can complete an improbable run to the Maui Invitational title on Wednesday when it plays No. 4 Auburn in the championship game in Lahaina, Hawaii.Memphis (6-0) entered the event unranked but beat No. 2 UConn 99-97 in overtime in the first round Monday and Michigan State 71-63 in Tuesday’s semifinals.Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said he likes the extra attention his team has received following those two wins.”It feels good,” he said. “As a competitor, a former basketball player (and) now a coach, you want to be a part of the rare air in the NCAA. You want to be part of that group they mention with Duke, Kansas — you want Memphis’ name to be there. That’s why we play one of the top non-conference schedules every year, because we want to play those guys to show who we are.”That’s just all a part of it for us. It’s a journey, always trying to fight to get our respect, and little by little hopefully we’re getting there. We want that attention because we work so hard.”Auburn (6-0) advanced to the Maui final by defeating No. 5 Iowa State 83-81 in the first round and then No. 12 North Carolina 85-72 in Tuesday’s second semifinal.Johni Broome has been a dominant force for Auburn. He had 21 points and 10 rebounds against Iowa State and 23 points and 19 rebounds vs. North Carolina.Broome made 9 of 18 field-goal attempts against the Tar Heels.”I think you’ve got to remember where he came from, and that just doesn’t get talked about enough,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. “He was a three-star (recruit). … He’s not fast enough, not good enough. All he’s done his entire career is prove people wrong.”Auburn’s Chad Baker-Mazara added 14 points and seven rebounds against North Carolina, and Chaney Johnson came off the bench and finished with 11 points and eight rebounds. Auburn had six players who scored at least 10 points.
