| Quote : | "Anthony Atkinson's defensive rebound and subsequent free throw with 1.5 seconds remaining was the difference as the Bulldogs won their school-record 30th game against five losses.
Barton trailed by as many as six points late in the second half but rallied to tie the score at 68-68 with 6:01. From there, the lead changed hands several times.
Junior forward Brian Leggett canned 1-of-2 foul shots to tie the score at 79-79 with 25 seconds left.
The Coyotes (26-6), who hit , missed a jumper and Atkinson, always in the middle of the action, grabbed the rebound with six seconds to go.
He raced downcourt for the winning basket but was fouled by CSUSB's Marlon Pierce with 1.5 seconds. Atkinson hit the first foul shot and missed the second intentionally, leaving the Coyotes with no time for a miracle.
Atkinson had 19 points, matching the output of sophomore guard Bobby Buffaloe while senior Alejo Barovero had a game-high 22 points.
Barton hit 58 percent of its shots but was nearly undone by the Coyotes' 10-of-20 showing from behind the 3-point arc.
The Bulldogs will face the winner of the Winona (Minn.) State-Central Missouri tilt in the second semifinal. Barton lost to Winona, the eventual champion, in overtime in the 2006 quarterfinals.
Since then, the Warriors have won an NCAA-record 56 consecutive games while the Bulldogs prevailed in all nine of their overtime games this season, also an NCAA record.
Saturday's championship is set for 1 p.m. in the MassMutual Center and will be televised nationally by CBS." |
