Nobody could have predicted Saturday night's dominating Falcon performance with a straight face. The opponent was perennial champion Seward (17-6) and one might have guessed that every ounce of CUW energy had been spent in a heart-stopping one point win over CU-Chicago the previous night.

So much for prognostication!

Does 60% game-long field goal accuracy sound pretty good?

Have you ever heard of a team making 14 of 17 shots from beyond the 3 point line?

Shawn Cassidy's team was absolutely brilliant offensively from beginning to end- finding the open shooter, and tearing apart the Seward defense inside and out.

David Lopez, usually allotted spot guard duty off the bench, ignited the CUW fire by hitting all 4 of his first half shots, including 3 of 3 from distance, in 15 minutes of superb play.

Mitchell Schneider, the Tourney MVP, was 6-8 from the field; Skip Newton-Kemp (4-4); all tourney pick Kyle Barth connected on 6 of 11; and so it went.

A total of 54 Falcon shots were directed hopefully toward the rim, and 32 of them fell through on this night- straight out of the movies!

Nebraska-Seward shot a respectable 47% and turned the ball over only 12 times against Falcon pressure, but it was simply CUW's night.

Hail to the CIT champions!
