LAHAINA - Illinois reminded Chaminade that Cinderella had a short run.
One night after the Silverswords pulled off the biggest upset of the young college basketball season, the Illini beat the EA Sports Maui Invitational hosts 84-61 in a semifinal game Tuesday at the Lahaina Civic Center.
The Illini (5-0), picked ninth in the Big Ten in a preseason media poll, will wear the glass slipper themselves in today's tournament final against Butler.

"Obviously we are thrilled about the opportunity to compete in such a prestigious tournament championship game tomorrow," Illinois coach John Groce said. "Our guys have earned that right with the way that they played, with their effort."
The Illini reserves outscored the Silverswords' bench 38-16.
"Oh, bench play is huge," Groce said. "It is huge all the time, but I think that is a great point when you are playing three games in three days. I will tell you, the bench was ready to go."
Fact Box
ILLINOIS Illini 84
CHAMINADE Silverswords 61
Chaminade (3-2), which defeated Texas on Monday, will play North Carolina for third place today.
The Illini outrebounded the Silverswords 41-32 and held them to 37.1 percent shooting from the field.
"I thought that Joseph (Bertrand) and Devin Langford, Myke Henry gave us great energy off the bench and what an asset that is to have as our team continues to develop and get a little bit better every day," Groce said.
Bertrand scored a team-high 14 points in 17 minutes on 5-for-7 shooting, and had six rebounds. Henry added seven points and seven rebounds, while Langford had three points and five rebounds.
"It was kind of a different game for us playing against kind of a smaller team," Bertrand said. "Our bigs really stepped up and guarded the smaller guards, keeping them out of the lane."
Groce noted that 6-foot-11 Nnanna Egwu was guarding Chaminade's 6-4 Dominique Cooks at times.
The title game will fulfill a goal Groce has had since watching the tournament on television over the years.
"We have talked about it the last several days," he said. "I made the comment, when I was younger we used to always watch it. The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, the whole country is watching it. Our guys are looking forward to the challenge."
The final will be a reunion for Groce and Bulldogs coach Brad Stevens - both were assistants at Butler in 2001.
"Brad and I are really close," Groce said. "We talk frequently, shoot ideas off of one another, maybe not quite as much this year until we get through this tournament. Once we get through it we will do that. Our families know one another.
"Obviously Butler is very well coached, they're physical, they don't beat themselves, they execute well. We will be challenged in a lot of areas tomorrow, but I know our guys are looking forward to that opportunity."
The Silverswords dropped to 7-77 in the tournament.
De'Andre Haskins led Cha-minade with 19 points, one night after he had 32. Bennie Murray added 10.
"I don't think so," Silverswords coach Eric Bovaird said of any letdown after Monday's win. "These guys were amped up to play this game also. We just came across a very good team."
Bovaird said he was excited about the chance to face the Tar Heels.
"I have always wanted to play North Carolina," he said. "I was hoping it would be in the championship game. I'm looking forward to it. It's a program I think we've all looked to for a long time and have the opportunity to play against some of the best recruits in the country and one of the best coaches in the country. It's going to be fun."

BOSTON - Using futuristic photo analysis tools, federal agents on the Boston Marathon case pressed the search Thursday for one or more potential suspects seen on video and considered releasing the images to enlist the public's help in hunting down the bombers.
"We will find you," President Barack Obama warned those behind the attack, bringing words of conviction and comfort in a heavily guarded visit to the shaken city.
The discovery of the surveillance video images raised hopes of a big break in the investigation, even as authorities cautioned a nation hungry for answers not to expect the case to be cracked quickly.

This combination of images released by the FBI on Thursday, show two images taken from surveillance video of who the FBI are calling suspect number 2, left, in white cap, and suspect number 1, right, in black cap, as they walk near each other through the crowd before the explosions at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
"Not that we are moving to imminent resolution, but we are definitely moving in the right direction," Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said on his way into a memorial service where Obama and others honored the three dead and more than 180 wounded in Monday's twin blasts.
"There's a lot to follow up on, there was a tremendous amount of response to the FBI's call to the public to supply photographs and videotape that people have, and there is a tremendous amount of analysis that that requires."
At the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Obama declared to the people of Boston: "Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act." He spoke in almost mocking terms of those who commit such violence.
"We finish the race, and we do that because of who we are," the president said to applause. "And that's what the perpetrators of such senseless violence - these small, stunted individuals who would destroy instead of build and think somehow that makes them important - that's what they don't understand."
In Washington, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said surveillance video points to more than one person the FBI wants to find and interview. In remarks to the House Homeland Security Committee, she gave no details on what the video shows. She did not describe them as suspects.
A day earlier, City Council President Stephen Murphy said he was told by police that investigators are looking for a man seen in a department store surveillance video dropping off a bag and then walking away at the site of the explosions that tore off limbs and hurled nails and other shrapnel.

This afternoon I went to Wal-Mart and noticed a family with one of those help me signs. I couldn't read the sign and just assumed that's what it was. After Wall-Mart I went to Murphys to get gas (it's in the parking lot). I had forgotten about them. Just so happened I pulled up next to the mother. She asked me if I could help her $ wise for gas, after I was done I pumped in some from my gas card for her. She was hispanic (you could tell by the accent), California plates. When I asked she said they where heading to Maryland (this part of their jorney took place in Arkansas). I didn't ask anything more, she did ask me my age and childrens age (they weren't with me, I was by myself) and then stated she would pray for us (I am not into prayer, but what ever). I didn't know what the age questions where about, other the her making small talk? They seemed like clean people. The children weren't shy and appered in good health, one fo them pushed the button on the gas pump. They were young, no older then 9yrs. Has I was getting back into my car, I saw her approch someone else whom gave her $. The husband really should have been wearing his shirt, when I pulled out I saw him sitting on their ice cooler, next to their signs, shritless. I can't help but wonder if they are swindlers of some type or were truely down on their luck.
That's the 1st time I've ever done anything like that. DH told me he bought someone food once.

Leonardo DiCaprio pulled out all the stops for a lavish 37th birthday party at New York City hotspot Avenue on Friday.
Surrounded by a bevy of Victoria's Secret models, pals Russell Simmons and Bradley Cooper and his mother Irmelin, the birthday boy "was having a great time and talked to everyone at the party," says a source.
The actor also spent the evening surrounded by Brazilian supermodels, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart and Ana Beatriz Barros.
"It was a very exclusive crowd," adds the source, confirming that DiCaprio rented out the entire club.
At the party, which raised $1.3 million for DiCaprio's various wildlife protection projects and disaster relief for Haiti, guests drank Cristal champagne – including a couple of vintage bottles at $50,000 a pop.
Adds a second source: "It was a crazy party."

No one could blame any veteran or, indeed, any American for being outraged at the recent revelation that more than 700 patients at the Buffalo VA Medical Center may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C because of an unthinkable lapse in proper procedures.
The horrifying incident calls for an immediate top-to-bottom review of all procedures, not just the one in question.
The issue revolves around the inadvertent reuse of insulin pens over a two-year period, between Oct. 19, 2010, and last Nov. 1. Misuse of the pens appears to have begun on the very day they were delivered.
Veterans Affairs officials informed members of Congress that 716 patients at the facility may have been exposed through the reuse of insulin pens that were supposed to be used only once. Of those, 570 patients are still alive.
While the pen needles were not reused and VA officials are careful to explain that the likelihood of infection is very low, there's always a chance that someone could have been infected. And even without the spread of infection, just the mental anguish at having to rush back to the center for testing is harm enough.
Were it not for a routine pharmacy inspection last Nov. 1, who knows how long the problem would have lasted? That's when the insulin pens were discovered in supply carts without patient labels on them, indicating that they may have been reused, according to a VA memo obtained by The News.
Rep. Chris Collins, whose business background is widely known, made suggestions the VA should consider implementing, starting with a full "best practices" review of all its medical procedures to ensure there's not another problem lurking at the hospital.
The "best practices" model involves comparing a company's services or products with the best practices employed by other businesses. For years Collins has suggested that government adopt such tried-and-true business models.
Care at the Buffalo VA Medical Center has greatly improved over the last several decades, according to Patrick W. Welch, Erie County Veterans Affairs director from 2008 to 2010. Welch, who has diabetes but does not get insulin shots, made a strong case that the VA hospital should not be judged on one incident. We hope he's right that it's an isolated incident.
But the disregard of protocols for the insulin pens raises red flags about every procedure at the hospital. The only way to regain the confidence of veterans and their families is to conduct a complete review of hospital procedures. The investigation needs to be launched immediately.

"The alleged murder is disputed in the strongest terms," the statement read, without elaborating.
The statement also said Pistorius wanted to "send his deepest sympathies to the family of Reeva."
"He would also like to express his thanks through us today for all the messages of support he has received – but as stated our thoughts and prayers today should be for Reeva and her family – regardless of the circumstances of this terrible, terrible tragedy," the statement read.
Pistorius, 26, entered no plea at the hearing and his family left quickly, without speaking to journalists who followed them outside. Police said Friday that investigators conducted an autopsy on Steenkamp's body. Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale said the results of the autopsy would not be published.
South Africa continues to question itself over what to think about the shooting, with local newspaper headlines veering from the lurid to "Blade gunner?" on Friday morning, playing on Pistorius' nickname given for his running blades. The nation of 50 million has one of the world's highest rates of shooting deaths, behind only Colombia. South Africa as whole recently recoiled at the brutal gang rape and attack that killed a 17-year-old girl and many wore black Friday to demonstrate against the high levels of violence against women in the country.

Others focused their attention on Pistorius, who is fascinated by fast cars, cage fighting and firearms. He crashed a speedboat in February 2009, breaking his nose, jaw and several ribs and damaging an eye socket. He later required 180 stitches to his face. Witnesses said he had been drinking, and officers found alcoholic beverages in the wreckage, though they did not do a blood test on Pistorius.
His love life, the fodder of gossip columns in the country, also saw turmoil. In November, Pistorius was involved in an altercation over a woman with a local coal mining millionaire, South African media reported.
Gianni Merlo, who co-authored the 2009 biography Blade Runner with Pistorius, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday from Italy that Pistorius once drove out in the middle of the night to see his first love after a fight. Pistorius crashed his car when he fell asleep behind the wheel, though Merlo said it showed his devotion.
However, he said Pistorius once threw a friend's girlfriend out of his house, prompting police to investigate and take him in for questioning.
"He explained that this was a kind of [plot] against him, planned against him," Merlo said.

A tree has blossomed at Oakbrook Elementary School.
Planted and conceived in the minds of young artists, rendered onto scrap metal, and brought forth to creation through the careful guidance and hands-on instruction of sculptor and OES Resident Artist Bob Doster, the metal palm tree now stands proudly outside the front door of the school.
The sculpture was one of several arts programs that students in which students will have an opportunity to participate, thanks to a recent $18,000 Arts Curricular Innovation grant, according to OES Art Teacher Mackenzie Clark. Clark and dance teacher Marie Connelly wrote the grant.
In this program, students competed to come up with a design for their creation, which turned out to be a Palmetto tree. Two winning designs by students Zoe Baker, who came up with the tree and Jackson Salinas, who designed the cut outs in the center of the fronds, were chosen and combined into one creation. All the students got the opportunity to work with and cut metal; all helped work on the final creation, she said.
Zoe and Jackson both said they were excited by the project and especially enjoyed learning to cut with metal.
I thought it was neat, the way it made all the sparks, Zoe said of the metal cutting process.
Doster, a Lancaster, S.C. sculptor, said the children drew the design free hand onto a 4 foot by eight foot piece of sheet metal. Once that design was cut, then they could trace the original onto several other pieces of sheet metal and cut them to match, then weld them together and attach them to the metal pole that serves as the trees trunk.
Doster has been conducting school programs across South Carolina for some 30 years, he said.
