Dayton's forward, Tiger Woods scored 20 but an off shooting night by Bron Miyazawa, who shot 5-14 was tough to recover from.

Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)

5) Salt Lake City 91 - (16) Norfolk 78

We knew we'd see plenty of three pointers in this one, unfortunately for the Nimrods, only 9 of their 28 went in while Salt Lake City hit 11-26 from beyond the arc. The Stormin' Mormon came out firing in the second half while Norfolk looked a little tired and it made a big difference as Salt Lake City took a commanding lead. The Nimrods tried to get back, even cutting the lead to just a few points, but the more athletic team pulled away. 6'7 senior, Nicholas Brady led the Stormin' Mormon with 19 points while junior forward, Lonnie Flaherty added 13 and 11 rebounds.

(10) Panama City 81 - (11) Amarillo 58

Regional Final (Elite Eight)

(10) Panama City 102 - (5) Salt Lake City 94

Wow, what a display put on by the Surfin' Siafu. They played amazing perimeter defense, pounded the boards and displayed incredible athleticism on both ends of the floor, forcing the Stormin' Mormon into cheap fouls.

Panama City had plenty of stars in this one as six players scored in double-digits, led by shooting guard, Jess Bickett, who shot 8-14 for 16 points. What about the play of Jeremy McGee off the bench. He stepped in for superstar, Frank Lundy, and played amazing ball inside, grabbing 12 rebounds. Speaking of Lundy, he caught fire in the second half and once he was on his game, he was a force inside, grabbing 7 rebounds to go along with 15 points.

Salt Lake City played well no doubt about it, but just couldn't keep Panama City off the boards. Every shot they took was contested, and they shot terrible from outside, hitting just 6-25 three pointers. Nicholas Brady was amazing, scoring 26 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Irv Newsom scored 21 and added 7 rebounds. They just ran into a very hot team that was playing on all cylinders.

The Saints sophomore center, Brevin Parker had a double-double, scoring 15 points and grabbing 11 boards, but it wasn't enough as they just couldn't compete with the more experienced Control KAOS.

(10) Huntington Beach 62 - (15) Reading 57

Huntington Beach controlled the game most of the way until the Jammers made things interesting with a little under 4 minutes to go, cutting the Cows lead to just 5. However, after 6'9 senior, Harold Logan hit a deep jumper for Reading, no more points were scored, as Huntington Beach escaped with a 2nd round win.
