LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) – Taquan Dean scored 30 points and No. 12 Louisville beat Stanford 82-67 Wednesday in the fifth-place game of the Maui Invitational, the Cardinals’ first win this season over a Division I team. Dean, a junior guard, was one point shy of his career high, set last season against VMI. He had 10 of Louisville’s 13 points when the Cardinals (3-1) broke the game open midway through the second half.

Louisville’s earlier wins were over Division II teams – BYU-Hawaii last week and Chaminade in the consolation bracket of the Maui Invitational. The Cardinals lost 76-71 to Iowa in the opening round of the eight-team tournament sponsored by EA Sports.

Rob Little had a career-high 19 points for Stanford (2-2), which lost to Tennessee in the opening round and beat Brigham Young in the consolation round.

Dean was 4-for-9 from 3-point range, including two in a run that gave the Cardinals a 68-56 lead with 6:13 left. He later came up with two big rebounds when teammates missed the front end of 1-and-1s in the final minute. He went 6-for-6 from the free throw line, all in the final 1:16.

Francisco Garcia had 16 points and Ellis Myles added eight points and 13 rebounds for Louisville, which shot 49.1 percent for the game.
