Derick Nelson (6'5''-F-86) erupted for 36 points as Oakland University defeated IUPUI 76-62 in the championship game of the 2010 Summit League men's basketball tournament Tuesday night at the Sioux Falls Arena. Oakland earned the league's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament with its 11th straight victory. OU is now 26-8, setting a school single season record for victories. It's the second Summit League tourney title for Oakland, which also won the crown in 2005. Oakland was also the league's regular-season champion but had split its two games with IUPUI. Nelson's point total is the second highest in tourney history, two points shy of the record set by Wright State's Bill Edwards in 1993. And the 6-5 senior set the tourney record with 15 field goals, on 23 attempts. Nelson triggered a first-half Oakland run which had the Golden Grizzlies recover from some cold early shooting to go on a 20-5 run which gave them a 33-25 lead after trailing 20-13. Nelson scored 11 consecutive points in that run. Oakland scored just one point in the first five minutes before Nelson's layup gave the Grizzlies their first field goal. OU led 35-27 at the half. After IUPUI scored back-to-back baskets to open the half, OU had a 11-0 run, with Nelson hitting three baskets, including a trey, and Keith Benson (6'11''-C-88) getting the other two. Benson scored just eight points in the game but had 17 rebounds for the second straight game and blocked six shots. He finished the tournament 47 boards. Larry Wright (6'2''-G-87) was the only other player in double figures for OU, with 16 points. Alex Young (6'6''-F) scored 19, Robert Glenn (6'7''-F) 18 and Leroy Nobles 14 for IUPUI, which is 24-10 for the season. Oakland shot 46.2 percent for the game (30-of-65) and had a 43-26 rebounding advantage. IUPUI shot 46.3 percent (25-of-54). Billy Pettiford (6'7''-F) led IUPUI with seven rebounds.

The smallest man on the floor came up bigger than everyone and North Texas is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in the last four seasons. Josh White (5'10''-G-88) scored with 22 seconds left and hit a free throw with 2.9 seconds remaining in the game to lift North Texas (24-8) to a 66-63 win over the Troy Trojans (20-12) in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship game. Eric Tramiel (6'7''-F-88) was named the Most Outstanding Player for the Tournament after his second double-double of the tournament as he poured in 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the win. George Odufuwa (6'8''-F-88), who grabbed 17 rebounds to go along with 11 points, was also named to the All-Tournament team. 'We are excited about it and very blessed and fortunate to be in this position,' said coach Johnny Jones. 'We executed in the second half and made some plays down the stretch and are just so excited to be able to represent the Sun Belt in the NCAA Tournament.' With the game tied at 63-63, White hit a 12-footer in the lane to make it 65-63 North Texas. Troy missed on the other end and the Mean Green captured the loose ball. White was fouled twice and made one of two from the line with 2.9 seconds left. A 3-pointer at the buzzer by Michael Vogler (6'1''-G-87) fell short and the Mean Green had its third berth to the NCAA Tournament in hand. 'I was going to the hoop the entire way, I just drove in and pulled up and it was fortunate that it went in,' said White. 'My teammates just told me to keep shooting and I knew a couple would fall in eventually and I was able knock a few of them down.' The win is the 11th straight for North Texas and a new single season school record with 24 victories on the year. The Mean Green began the second half with a 13-4 run to turn a two-point deficit into a 51-44 lead with 13 minutes left in the game. Collin Mangrum (6'5''-G) 3-pointer with 7:52 left kept North Texas ahead by seven before one final push by the Trojans. A Brandon Hazzard (6'2''-G-87) 3-pointer made it a two-point game at 61-59 with less than four minutes to play. The Trojans tied the game at 63 with 53 seconds remaining setting up the final heroics by White. 'I feel like with this program the sky is the limit, we are on the rise right now and it just feels great right now,' said Odufuwa. 'At the end of the day there is only one champion.' The Mean Green jumped out to an early 9-4 lead three minutes into the game after a 3-poinnt play from Eric Tramiel. A very fast paced half, the Trojans rallied with a 12-4 run to take a 15-13 lead with 13:05 left. North Texas came right back with a 3-pointer from Tramiel and then a 3-point play from Odufuwa to pull back in front 21-17. The pace continued to quicken as Troy opened up a 30-26 lead on a dunk and a foul for Yamene Coleman (6'9''-C-86). North Texas battled back with four straight points from Alzee Williams (6'4''-G-90) to cut the Trojan lead to one-point at 32-31 with 4:24 left in the half. A Michael Vogler 3-pointer with under a minute left in the half gave the Trojans a two-point lead at 40-38. The first half saw 12 lead changes and six ties. Four players scored in double figures for the Mean Green as they held Troy to just 28 percent shooting in the second half. Courtesy of North Texas Athletics
