Waking up on time might be the biggest challenge for Washington State and New Mexico when they meet in a consolation game Friday morning at the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu. That's because tip off is scheduled for 8 a.m. local time and won't even be televised nationally, the end result of both teams losing the first two games of the tournament.

Hawaii must be feeling much better about itself than Auburn heading into their third-place game Friday at the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu. The Rainbows nearly upset No. 3 Oklahoma before losing 84-81 when a 40-footer went wide at the buzzer Wednesday evening, a couple hours after Auburn went ice cold from the floor in a 69-51 loss to Harvard, losing another key player to injury in the process.

Oklahoma probably won't be taking anything for granted Friday when the No. 3 Sooners meet Harvard in the championship game of the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu. Oklahoma escaped with an 84-81 victory against Hawaii in the semifinals after blowing a 16-point first-half lead and can't afford to glide against a Harvard team that looked impressive while beating Auburn by 18 points in the other semifinal.
