Lincoln 95, Coker 67: Coker's ten underclassmen couldn't hang with a Lincoln team that finished non-con undefeated. This one looked like a mismatch at the tipoff and four score and 15 points later, Lincoln proved it. PoG Alton Miller poured in 22 for Lincoln.
St Mary's 74, Erskine 64: mduncanhogs got a much needed win after a brutal Yarnell. St Mary's had something to prove and it showed, shooting 63% from the floor, not missing a 3, enjoying a 10 rebound advantage, and twice as many makes/attempts from the free throw line as Erskine. When you consider those numbers, Erskine probably did well to keep the final margin within 10. PoG Stephen Parrish threw down 17, while collecting 11 boards and 3 blocks for MDH.
Queens U 71, Oklahoma Panhandle 61: Queens was a just a bit better than OkPan in this one. Queens shot the ball better from 2 point range, 3 point range, and the FT line, while enjoying a 10 rebound advantage. PoG James Gladden was the best example of Queens' efficiency, scoring 20 points on only 10 shot attempts.
Limestone 72, Valdosta St 49: The national champs from Gaffney, SC put the clamps on their neighbors to the south. Valdosta ran out of gas, scoring only 5 points during the final 7:30. Valdosta shot 37% for the game. PoG Eddie Graham had 17 points off the bench for Limestone.
