Finally we have had them beaten in the SLT so many times and blown it. That last 2 seconds took forever that ball was in the air so long

HELL YA. WAY TO GO WIU!!!
SO PROUD OF YOU!!
SO PROUD OF YOU!!
A Sioux Falls Shocker!
Western wins 79-76. The first #8 to win in the history of the tournament.
Five Western players in double-figures: Kobe Webster and Ben Pyle each had 17. Brandon Gilbeck, Isaac Johnson, and Zion Young each had 13.
Keshon Montague only had 2 points. But those were the 2 free throws that gave Western a three-point lead with 10 seconds left in the game. South Dakota State's three-point attempt with 2 seconds left was no good.
Western had the lead for 39:25.
Western out-rebounded South Dakota State 43-38.
Western will play the winner of tomorrow night's #5 Oral Roberts vs #4 North Dakota State game. Western's next game will be Monday at 6PM in the semi-finals.
Cue the Fight Song!

I was at the Granite City Brewery and was stoked to see #4 Bradley knock off #1Loyola.
Meanwhile this sh*t was going down in Sioux Falls. Holy crap.
