Sacramento State is one of the first Cinderella stories in March.
The No. 10 Hornets took out No. 9 Idaho in the first round of the Big Sky Tournament, then beat top-seeded Eastern Washington on Sunday (74-69) to advance to the semifinals. Sacramento State has never been to the Division I NCAA Tournament. Can they keep the ride going as underdogs again in Tuesday’s semifinal against No. 5 Montana State?
The Bobcats pulled away from No. 4 Weber State, 81-82, in Monday’s quarterfinal. Montana State and Sacramento State split a pair of regular-season contests, with each team winning on the road.
