Lander upset top seeded Nova Southeastern 91-81. Led by Greyson Pritzl who scored 25 points. Gannon is 33-3 and has multiple players that can score double digit points. I expect this to be a high flying back and forth game. The Game will be broadcasted live on CBS,this a huge look for d2 basketball on a Sunday afternoon with no big competition in the same time slot on other major networks.
Tip off is at 1 pm eastern 12 Central /10am Pacific

Daemen rebounded from a disappointing early tournament exit in 2025. Black Hills State upset DBU and Cal St East Bay cruised past Point Loma. Some excitement on the other side of the bracket as Michigan Tech won a last second thriller against GVSU ,then went on to beat the #1 host seed Walsh.
