UW-Oshkosh Wins Tournament Title - Mar 4, 2022
University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh won the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Men's Basketball Tournament (presented by Culver's) with a 75-73 triumph over UW-Platteville at Kolf Sports Center on Feb. 26.
The tournament title is the fifth in program history and second in the last three seasons. UW-Oshkosh (22-3) also received the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Division III Championship.
Against UW-Platteville (21-5) Levi Borchert (6'5''-F) produced his 14th double-double of the season as UW-Oshkosh withstood a late UW-Platteville comeback attempt and hung on for the victory during a battle of highly ranked teams.
UW-Oshkosh, ranked third in the NCAA Division III by D3hoops.com, took the lead for good at 17-15 on an Eric Peterson layup with 9:02 remaining in the first half and held a 58-48 cushion with 6:48 to go in the game before sixth-ranked UW-Platteville pulled within 65-63 at the 3:15 mark and 74-73 with 18 seconds left.
Hunter Plamann (6'0''-PG) made two free throws to extend the UW-Oshkosh advantage to 74-70 with 28 seconds to play, but Quentin Shields (5'10''-PG) answered with a 3-pointer 10 seconds later to trim the Pioneers deficit to 74-73. UW-Oshkosh's Eddie Muench (6'5''-G) split a pair of free throws with just under nine seconds remaining for a 75-73 edge, and Shields' attempt at a tying jumper from the left wing caromed into the hands of Peterson as time expired.
UW-Oshkosh and UW-Platteville met in the WIAC Tournament final for the first time Saturday. The Titans, who swept all three of their matchups with UW-Platteville this season, have now won 20 of their last 21 home games. UW-Oshkosh previously defeated the Pioneers by scores of 83-67 on Jan. 19 in Platteville and 65-51 on Feb. 2 in Kolf Sports Center.
Levi Borchert had 18 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks to lead the Titans, shooting 6-for-10 from the field and 6-for-8 at the free throw line. Muench and Peterson added 16 and a season-high 15 points, respectively, for UW-Oshkosh. Muench went 3-for-7 from 3-point range. Peterson shot 7-for-9 from the field.
Kyle Tuma (6'6''-F) paced the Pioneers with 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting from the floor to go along with 15 rebounds and a pair of steals. Shields finished with 21 points and three assists for UW-Platteville, while Justin Stovall (6'7''-F-2000) had nine points and eight rebounds, and Blake McCann (6'4''-G) added another nine points.
UW-Platteville raced out to leads of 7-2 and 11-4 until UW-Oshkosh responded with a 16-4 to take the lead for good. Muench, who drilled back-to-back 3-pointers, and Borchert combined to account for 13 points during the Titans' pivotal 16-4 run.
UW-Oshkosh went on to lead by as many as 10 points during the first half, including by a 39-29 score at intermission following a Borchert layup with under a minute to play in the opening period.
The Titans held the largest cushions by either team when they led by 13 points at 42-29, 44-31 and then 54-41 with 10 minutes left after a Rindfleisch basket in the paint. UW-Platteville later cut its deficits to 65-63 on a pair of Stovall free throws with 3:15 remaining and to 72-70 with 31 ticks left after a Shields layup.
