DENVER, CO-The Mustangs take flight tomorrow to Denver, CO for the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) Conference Tournament. The conference championship will play host to four teams with the winner earning an automatic bid to the NAIA National Tournament.
Marcus Hopkins (Southfield,
Mich./Southfield)
and his 14.7ppg average will lead the #4 Mustangs into Denver for a semi-final showdown against host
and #1 seed Johnson & Wales University Wildcats. He will be joined by a
group of hungry Mustangs that are focused on getting to the NAIA National
Championship Tournament.
The Wildcats
are set to host the tournament after a 15-13 regular season. The stellar
campaign landed the host Wildcats the top seed in this year's tournament. Despite
the seedings, any team that gets hot and plays hard can win the tournament. No
team heads into the Mile
High City
with a decisive edge on paper which should lead to compelling tournament
action.
A semi-final
win over the Wildcats would setup a championship match-up against the winner #2
Ohio Dominican
University and #3 Walla Walla University.
