Semifinals Set For Wednesday

What a night!!! Four exciting games has set up what should a two great semifinal matchups on Wednesday night.

Monday saw two games go down to the last shot and two where the winning team won by a comfortable margin. Richmond (20-15) beat College of Charleston, 74-72, on a jump shot by Kevin Anderson with :09 left to go in the game. The Spiders will take on UTEP in the first semifinal on Wednesday. The Miners (21-12) beat Northeastern, 75-66, behind 26 points from Stefon Jackson.

Meanwhile, Oregon State (15-17) beat Vermont, 71-70, on a runner by Beavers guard Calvin Haynes with :06 left in overtime. They will take on Pac 10 foe Stanford (20-13), who beat Wichita State, 70-56.

This will be the third meeting between Oregon State and Stanford this season. Oregon State won both games in the regular season, but Stanford got a measure of revenge by beating the Beavers in the Pac-10 Tournament.

HDNet will broadcast both games. Tip time for Richmond-UTEP is 8:00 PM ET with Oregon State and Stanford beginning at 10:00 PM ET.
