Oakland men stunned at the buzzer; MSU women eliminated

Cameron Morse faked a 3-pointer & passed the ball to Jorden Kaufman for the winning layup at the buzzer as the #9 Youngstown State Penguins pulled off a huge upset over the top-seeded Oakland Golden Grizzlies, 81-80, in the quarterfinals of the Horizon League tournament at the Joe Louis Arena.

Jalen Hayes had 27 points & 13 rebounds, Martez Walker scored 22, and Dorsey-Walker finished with 16 points & eight assists for Oakland.

After the Golden Grizzlies stunning loss, #2 Valparaiso were also knocked out by #10 Milwaukee in a low scoring game, 43-41.  With both Oakland & Valpo finishing at 24-8, and with the automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament yet to be determined, some wonder if all three teams will make it to the Big Dance.




Brionna Jones scored 21 of her career-high 32 points in the 2nd half and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough added 22 points to help the #2 Maryland Terrapins defeat the #6 Michigan State Spartans, 100-89, in the women's Big Ten semifinals.

Tori Jankoska led Michigan State (21-11) with 31 points and Branndais Agee finished the night with 24 points.
