#2 Gold Rush go back-to-back for Xavier sweep - Mar 15, 2021
The second-seeded Xavier (La.) held a slim three-point lead over top-seeded Talladega at intermission but a huge run to begin the second half kept the Tornadoes at bay en route to a 70-60 win and its second straight championship.
Tony Hutson (6'2''-G), named to the All-GCAC First Team yesterday, topped Dega in both points (18) and rebounds (7) while fellow First Teamer Darryl Baker (6'4''-G) recorded 14 points and seven boards as well.
Rayshawn Mart (6'3''-G) showed why he was named GCAC Player of the Year, dropping 25 points and eight rebounds to front the Gold Rush, adding three assists to the ledger for good measure.
Talladega should still be comfortably within the (reduced) field of 48 in the NAIA Tournament as they came into the tournament ranked ninth in the nation.
Xavier (La.) was possibly going to sweat out the selection show next week if it did not claim the automatic berth but that is now a moot point with the victory.
