A sensational performance of 23 points, 19 rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots from Johni Broome propelled No. 4 Auburn past No. 10 North Carolina 85-72 on Tuesday and into the championship game of the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii.

Auburn will face Memphis on Wednesday for the tournament championship, while North Carolina will face Michigan State in the third-place game on Wednesday.

Broome set the tone early, scoring a game-high 18 points in the first half. Broome already had a double-double at halftime with 10 rebounds in the first 20 minutes.

Auburn (6-0) never trailed its All-American, building a lead of as many as 15 points in the first half.

North Carolina (4-2), which rallied from a 21-point second-half deficit in a win over Dayton on Monday, cut the deficit to four points just before halftime. From that point on, the Tigers went on a run that continued into the opening minutes of the second half, outscoring the Tar Heels 16-2.

Auburn’s lead grew to as many as 19 points before North Carolina briefly threatened.

Seth Trimble scored six of his team-high 17 points on consecutive 3-pointers that put the Tar Heels within 75-66 with 3:17 left, but they couldn’t get any closer. Denver Jones quickly thwarted the rally attempt with a 3-pointer at the other end that was part of his 10 points.

Six Tigers scored in double figures, including Miles Kelly, who shot 3 of 7 from 3-point range en route to 15 points. Chad Baker-Mazara added 14 points, Chaney Johnson came off the bench to add 11 points and Tahaad Pettiford scored 10 points.

Everyone except Johnson knocked down at least two 3-pointers while Auburn made 11 of 30 from distance.

Trimble went 3-for-6 from behind the arc and the Tar Heels made 6 of 16 on 3-point attempts.

RJ Davis finished the game 1-for-4 from outside and 5-for-11 from the field for 12 points, 18 shy of his performance that led North Carolina past Dayton on Monday. Elliot Cadeau, Jae’Lyn Withers and Ven-Allen Lubin each contributed 10 points in the loss.
