"There are two types of players once you get to March," says head coach Rodney Watson. "There are tired players and there are hungry players. And the hungry players really have a chance to go on."
This is the fourth time that USI men’s basketball has made the Division II championship. The last time was in 2004.
The Screaming Eagles face number two-seed West Texas A&M in the quarterfinals 6 p.m. Wednesday.
