Better get your slippers ready because the Whitworth Pirates are going to the Big Dance! Here's the headline from SID Steve Flegel:
When it finally mattered most, Whitworth came through, as the visiting Pirates upset 3rd-ranked Puget Sound 90-80 in overtime on Saturday night in Memorial Fieldhouse to win the Northwest Conference men’s basketball tournament and pick up the NWC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament.
A hot upset to get into the tournament? That usually leads to even more success and the Pirates are no strangers to the NCAAs as they've been their four times already. Looks like Spokane will be a busy city during March Madness time.
