To reach the cusp of March Madness, however, and redeem a lopsided setback, Oakland must find the urgency it had when shocking Northern Kentucky during the teams’ conference opener.
Xavier Hill-Mais (18.5) and Cumberland (16.8) pace the Golden Grizzlies’ uptempo offense (77.2 ppg) which ranks #68 nationally.
Conversely, Oakland’s defense (76.6 pa) ranks among the nation’s worst.
Tonight, defensive resolve is a must if the Golden Grizzlies’ Indian summer is to continue.
Northern Kentucky Norse
Though seeded #2 among Horizon tournament teams, several major outlets project Northern Kentucky as the league’s eventual champion.
Tyler Sharpe (25) and Trevon Faulkner (20) combined for 45 points during the Norse’s 99-88 quarterfinal win vs. Detroit to setup tonight’s showdown.
Leading scorer Drew McDonald’s 21 points sparked Northern Kentucky’s early-Feb. mastery of Oakland. The Norse adjusted defensively while holding the Golden Grizzlies’ potent offense in check en route to a comfortable 79-64 statement win.
All the Norse need now is a repeat performance and bigger opportunities await.
Rostering four double figure scorers, Northern Kentucky, too, sports an impressive offense (79.7 ppg) #39 NCAA.
Though, the Norse’s defensive wares (69 pa) place them in greater competitive stead than Oakland.
