NCAA D2 National Championships Bracket 2014
Central Missouri wins Division II title - Mar 29, 2014  Central Missouri won the NCAA Division II championship game with
defense, facing a West Liberty squad that averaged 101 points, the Mules
held the Hilltoppers 24 below their average Saturday in an 84-77
victory.
Daylen Robinson (6'0''-PG-90) scored 16 of his 21 points in
the second half for Central Missouri.
"Defense was the difference at the end," said Robinson, the
tournament MVP. "Coach [Kim Anderson ] said, 'We need stops these 4 minutes,' and that's
just what we did. We knew we had to contest their shots, or they
would score a bunch of points. We kept our poise late in the
game, offensively and defensively."
Dillon Deck (6'9''-F) added 16 points and 10 rebounds for
Central Missouri (30-5), including two key baskets in the final
4 minutes. The Mules also won the Division II title in 1984.
Robinson hit a 3-pointer with 8:18 left to tie it at 65, then
made it 68-65 with another 3-pointer 90 seconds later. The Mules
never trailed again.
Central Missouri could not pull away, however.
UCM led 76-73 with less than 3 minutes to go, and that's when
defense began to take over. The 6-foot-9 Deck deflected two
shots, then stepped up and made a key basket to put his team
ahead 78-73 with 1:40 to go. After
C.J. Hester (6'4''-G) cut Central Missouri's lead to 78-75
with a pair of free throws, Deck grabbed an offensive rebound
following a missed free throw, was fouled, and hit both free
throws to put the Mules up 80-75.
West Liberty came up empty the next two times downcourt, and the
Mules held on..
"Every coach dreams of winning a national championship, but that
only happened to me because of the players around me," Anderson
said. "Their ability to stay focused and not get rattled showed
through again. This was a very difficult opponent for us. We
knew if West Liberty put up 101 points in this game, we wouldn't
win."
West Liberty built a 35-26 lead before the Mules came back to
tie it at 37 late in the first half. Neither team led by more
than five points in the second half until the final 20 seconds
in the game that had 14 ties and nine lead changes.
Shawn Dyer (6'0''-PG) led West Liberty (31-4) with 19
points, and
Cedric Harris (6'0''-PG) had 18 - 14 in the first half.
"It's tough getting this far, and going home without a
championship," West Liberty coach
Jim Crutchfield said. "These guys are hurting right now. In
a few days, well, maybe a few years, they'll look back and be
very proud of their accomplishments."
