Bullet Points


  • Stephen F. Austin punched Hoops Nation's final NCAA Tournament ticket Sunday afternoon, its first appearance ever.


  • Championship Fortnight is over, and the national postseason is just ahead. Completed brackets and scores for all 23 TMM leagues are included below.



Southland


Texas-San Antonio had already taken out the No. 3 and No. 2 seeds, and looked like they'd add the Southland's top dogs to its collection early on with 60 percent shooting in the game's first 10 minutes. But the Roadrunners' grasp on their first-half lead slipped at the six-minute mark, and Stephen F. Austin surged ahead out of the break to put itself on the brink of its first-ever NCAA trip. There were anxious moments in the final three minutes, as UTSA's sophomore star guard Devin Gibson did all he could to engineer the upset. But all his 23 points got him was a spot on the all-tourney team, and Southland POY Matt Kingsley's 20 (on 8-for-13 shooting) outweighed Gibson's best efforts. SFA completed a 3-0 sweep of the Roadrunners, and is off to the Big Dance.
