Creighton tops Bradley, advances to semi-final

Creighton held on for a 74-70 win over Bradley, but this game went down to the wire and Bradley actually came all the way back to take the lead with 2:36 remaining.

Fortunately for Creighton, Cavel Witter was able to close out Bradley by scoring the last 6 points of the game for the Jays. Whitter's two foul shots with 4 seconds remaining iced the game for CU.

Illinois State will take on Missouri State in the first game of the evening session. Rumors are swirling that Barry Hinson is on the hot seat at Mo State so this game goes a long way in dictating Hinson's future in Springfield.

The Bears and the Redbirds have just taken the floor for a shoot around. We'll be back in a few hours with live game action between the two teams. Then we'll start gearing up for the game we've all been waiting for, the Salukis vs the Panthers at 8:30 pm this evening.
