Result:
WIN

Stephen F. Austin ran into a turnover-prone West Virginia team the last game and pulled the upset forcing 22 turnovers. However, this is a different matchup against a tall and deep Notre Dame team that was great at protecting the basketball during the regular season. Junior guard Demetrius Jackson (15.4 points per game, 4.8 assists per game) is a strong playmaker while 6-10 senior Zach Auguste (14.2 points per game, 10.8 rebounds per game), 6-9 junior V.J. Beachem (11.5 points per game) and Bonzie Colson (11.5 points per game, 6.9 rebound per game) are a handful up front. By contrast, Stephen F. Austin's top rebounders are 6-4 forward Thomas Walkup and 6-5 forward Clide Geffrard. Stephen F. Austin stepped up during the regular season against Baylor and got clobbered, 97-55, getting outrebounded 37-27, and allowing 64.3% shooting. They also lost to Northern Iowa (70-60) and Arizona State (80-73) in two other step-up contests. Play Notre Dame.
