Miracle shot from half-court

First photo: Lahaina firefighter Michael Howe is congratulated after sinking a half-court shot during a break in Monday’s Maui Jim Maui Invitational game between Iowa State and Arizona to win 50,000 Starwood points. Tournament organizers said Howe was the first person to make the half-court shot in the six years and roughly 70 games the promotion has been running at the Maui Invitational tournament. Arizona defeated Iowa State, 71-66, on the first day of the tournament at the Lahaina Civic Center. The second day of the three-day tournament begins at 9:30 a.m. with the first of four nationally televised games on the day’s slate. The championship game is set for noon Wednesday, earlier than usual for the tournament. For more information on the tournament, see Sports.

The nation’s No.1 ranked men’s college team defeated the Aztecs, 90-64, to move to 16-0 all time in the annual preseason tournament on Maui.
