College Basketball 2011 Southland Tournament

The Southland final pitted a No. 1 seed and No. 7 seed against each other, but it wasn’t a mismatch on paper. When the game was played, it certainly was not a mismatch, as lower-seeded Texas-San Antonio knocked off McNeese State, 75-72, to win the conference championship and get a bid to the NCAA tournament. Devin Gibson finally slowed down his triple-double ways, but Jeromie Hill stepped up with 25 points.

Texas-San Antonio is heading to its fourth NCAA tournament, with the last two coming as a No. 16 seed. The Roadrunners are likely to enter the Big Dance as a No. 16 seed once again, despite winning their last five games. They had an up-and-down conference campaign, but were on the wrong side of a very close Southland race and were relegated to the seventh seed.
