Sarson got what he deserved. He's an irrational player and WLU is paying for his idiocy.

Young Howlett better show them something they haven’t seen before on defense

You gotta win a shootout. WL defense not gonna slow them down. It's possible.

That Yoakum trey to end half was avoidable.

Only down by 7 at the half. Go Hilltoppers!

It just seems Nova Southeastern can counter-punch West Liberty a little bit better. They just always seem to have a good answer when West Liberty digs into that lead. Not a knock on West Lib; it just seems Crutchfield built a powerful team that can counter punch.

Great game to watch.

Horrible coaching decision running zone on the last shot when you never run it. They had no idea what they were doing.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Amazing Crutch is still in D2

[Layton]

Going to have to change up our press if we want to win this

[Layton]

Don’t see this going our way

"Guard our Center in the corner" ??? I wasn't aware we had a Center! Maybe you ment "guard one of our guards in the corner"!?

At the end of the day, we lucked out in that Black Hills didn't figure out how to truly use Scott till the second half. We truly had no answer for him inside. At one point we had a 6'2" guard trying to front him with another 6' guard doubling down on him...didn't turn out too well for us.

But as they say in tourney play, I'd rather be lucky than good. We got lucky and are in the NC game.
