St. Peter, Minn. – Following a thrilling win over fourth-seeded Saint John’s University in the quarterfinals of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Playoffs on Wednesday night, the fifth-seeded Gustavus Adolphus men’s basketball team will look to keep its season alive when it takes on second-seeded St. Olaf College on Friday night in the MIAC Semifinals. Friday’s opening tip is set for 7:30 p.m., at the Skoglund Center in Northfield, Minn.
The Gusties defeated Saint John’s by the score 65-64 in Collegeville, Minn., on Wednesday night to advance to Friday night’s semifinals. Tied 64-64 with 2.3 seconds remaining, senior Jordan Dick pulled down an offensive rebound and was fouled on the put-back. Dick made one of two free throws to lift his team to victory.
As the second seed in the playoff field, the Oles received a bye in the quarterfinals and enter Friday night’s contest after nearly a week of rest. St. Olaf last played on Saturday, Feb. 22nd, defeating Bethel 62-40 in Arden Hills, Minn.
