NAIA/INDEPENDENT BASKETBALL THE YARD WEEK OF MARCH 7TH

JACKSONVILLEKadon Day scored

nine o his career-high 32 points in

overtime Saturday to lead Tougaloo to

a 93-80 mens basketball victory against

Xavier University o Louisiana in the

championship game o the Gul Coast

Athletic Conerence Tournament.

The Bulldogs (27-4), ranked 13th in

NAIA Division I and seeded frst in the

tournament, extended their win streak to

12 games and earned an automatic berth

tin the Bualo Funds-NAIA Division I

National Championship at Kansas City,

Mo. Xavier (27-5), ranked 17th and the

No. 2 GCAC seed, will wait or an at-large

berth. The NAIAs tournament feld and

schedule will be announced Wednesday,

and the tournament will begin March 16.

I hope we get in, XU senior guard

Michael Harvey said. Weve worked too

hard not to go. I know were one o the

best 32 teams in the country.

Harveys 3-pointer with 11 seconds

remaining in regulation tied the score at

72 and orced overtime. But Day scored

fve points in Tougaloos 7-0 run to be-gin overtime, and the Gold Rush never

threatened thereater.

Kadon Day came up big. He did a

great job, and my hats o to him, XU

Coach Dannton Jackson said.

Xavier had six players score in double

fgures. Denzell Erves had 16 points,

Chris Iles and Wanto Joseph scored 12

apiece, and Cordell Hadnot, Kevin Miller

and Devin Andrew each had 10.

Iles and Andrew were named to the

six-player all-tournament team with Day,

Brent Ledu o SUNO, Marquise Mems

o Tougaloo and William Walter-Brown

o Edward Waters.

Xavier trailed 39-32 at haltime but

rallied to lead twice in the fnal our min-

utes, the last time at 67-66 ater Hadnots

two ree throws at 2:37.

James Carters two ree throws with

20 seconds remaining gave Tougaloo a

72-69 lead, then Harvey answered nine

seconds later with his team-leading 45th

3-pointer o the season and the 139th

o his career to tie Michael Varnado or

ourth place at Xavier.

I got a great screen to get open and a

a good, clean look at the basket, Harveysaid, When I released the ball I knew it

was going in.

Mems scored 18 points, James Carter

14 and Donteeno Todd 11 or Tougaloo,

which is 19-1 since Dec. 4 -- the only loss

was 77-67 at Xavier on Jan. 22 -- and will

appear at nationals or the third straight

year and the ourth time in fve seasons.

Its the Bulldogs frst GCAC Tourna-

ment championship -- they lost 85-83 to

William Carey in 1989 in their only other

appearance in the fnals.

Tougaloo outshot Xavier 50 to 41.7

percent rom the oor and made 32-o-

40 ree throws. Xavier was 25-o-30 rom

the line and made its frst 14 in a row

but missed two ree throws with 1:17 re-

maining in regulation while trailing 70-

67. The Gold Rush had a 37-31 rebound

advantage but committed six more turn-

overs than the Bulldogs.

Xavier lost or the second time in our

years in the championship game. The

Gold Rush have not won the GCAC Tour-

nament since 1996.

Im happy with our accomplishments

this year, said Jackson, who led a pro-

gram-record our consecutive Gold Rushteams to the NAIA nationals rom 2004-

08. Weve won 27 games, the frst time

thats happened in a long time. I like our

body o work. We have ought through

several dierent kinds o adversity to put

together a successul year.

Great Day for Tougaloo, OT loss for XavierJACKSONVILLEKeldra Hall scored

14 points and Christina Warren 13 Sat-

urday to lead Xavier University o Loui-

siana to a 71-44 womens basketball vic-

tory over Tougaloo in the championship

game o the Gul Coast Athletic Coner-

ence Tournament.

The Gold Nuggets (26-6), ranked 20th

in NAIA Division I, won the tournament

or the second straight year and the 12th

time overall to extend their GCAC re-

cord. Xavier will receive the GCACs au-

tomatic bid to the NAIA Division I Na-

tional Championship at Jackson, Tenn.,

and play a frst-round game March 16 or

17. Pairings and game times will be an-

nounced Wednesday.

Hall, selected the tournaments most

valuable player, and Warren combined

or 20 points in leading Xavier to a 40-

17 advantage by haltime. The Nuggets

shot 63 percent rom the oor in the frst

hal and fnished at 54.7 percent, their

second-best accuracy o the season.

No one else had more than seven

points or the Nuggets -- Brandi Youngand reshmen Paige Gauthier and Car-

men Holcombe scored seven apiece -- but

all 13 players scored.

I thought our depth wore (Touga-

loo) down, said XU Coach Bo Browder,

whose teams have won fve GCAC tour-

neys in his 12 seasons. I said early in the

season that wed be playing our best bas-

ketball at the end o the season, and we

are.

Xavier matched a tournament record

or the widest winning margin in the

championship round. Mobile deeated

Louisiana College 79-52 in 1993.

Victoria Jones led Tougaloo (12-17)

with 14 points and 11 rebounds -- her

10th consecutive double-double and

third o the tournament -- and Portia

Crat scored 10. The Lady Bulldogs shot

26.3 percent rom the oor, and it was the

second straight day that Xavier limited

an opponent to less than 30 percent.

Joining Hall on the six-player all-tour-

nament team were Young and teammate

Jazmon Kelly, Tougaloos Jones, Ebo-

ny Presha o Edward Waters and Ariel

Mitchell o Dillard.

This is the frst time Ive won a cham-pionship on any level, said Hall, a junior

center rom Dallas who has played bas-

ketball or 10 years. M

I was surprised to win

Christina would win it.

Warren, the GCAC Pl

made amends or a sub

in Fridays semifnals -- f

game and two quick ou

the bench -- by hitting t

3-pointers in the frst o

I had my mind set to

oul trouble and just sh

play harder on deense,

Deensively it was mor

the Nuggets, who exten

record by allowing less th

the 18th time this seaso

mark was 15, a record m

son.

Weve had major tr

tions within the past 1

program. Browder said

ther (in April), losing tw

players who couldve b

including one who wou

American. People think

But it never is when youyoung people together t

onship.
