Saturday Quarterfinals:
#1 South Dakota State beat #8 Omaha 84-71.

Keep their Stan the Man under 20 and our Will the Thrill over 20, I like our chances a lot.

Tournament play is more physical. Separates the men from the boys.

Down 13 at the half. Difference in this game has been the point blank bunnies we have missed and the easy looks we have given up around the bucket.

Going to be tough to make a run while making fouls.

Coyotes just a much more polished group. Played better team ball (18 assists to our 4).

South Dakota won the game 86-69.

Western finishes the season with a record of 7-15.

Colton Sandage led the Western scoring with 16 points. Anthony Jones had 13. Will Carius had 12. Ramean Hinton had 11.

Western shot 37% (22 of 60). South Dakota shot 56% (29 of 52).

Attendance for the Saturday night session = 200.

That was a hell of a basketball game. Players coming up big at big times. The ghost of Caleb Green must have been in the Pentagon tonite.
Actually, Green was still playing pro as of a couple years ago.
