Final.

 

That's a good win for the Birds.  

Very interesting matchup with Ashland tomorrow. 

Luke Muller was the star for Highlands with 29 points on the strength of seven 3s. Sam Vinson added 15 points and 8 assists. 

Ian Hart (15), Noah Dumas (14), and Brant Brower (11) reached double figures for McCracken. The Mustangs shot 57% overall and 71% from 3 and still lost by 10. Highlands always had an answer. 

? to the final four! Congrats to Highlands!

Really good game, was 52:50 with about 2 and a half left, McCracken turned it over, then never got a chance to tie again. Game for the last 2 minutes was all free throw shooting and preventing turnovers.

Great game! That was a hard fought battle. Get some rest, going to be a long day tomorrow.

Never seemed like Highlands would lose but they also could never put McCracken away. Kudos to both teams for a solid effort. Excited for Ashland/Highlands tomorrow.

McCracken made them sweat a couple times but Highlands was in control the whole game. 

Congrats on the win Bluebirds!

With 11 3-pointers tonight, and 12 in the opener, Highlands is on pace to shatter the tournament record of 33.

More to this team than sinking treys, but I do love a good sharpshooting team.
