NORTH CANTON, OH: The Walsh Men's Basketball teams historic season came to an end on Tuesday evening in the NCAA DII Midwest Regional Championship. The 8 team regional came down to two teams, #1 Walsh Cavaliers and #3 Mighigan Tech. In front of a nearly sold out Alumni Arena, the stage was set for a highly anticipated game. On the line was a trip to the Elite 8 in Pittsburgh, PA.
From the tip off, Michigan Tech gained control and never lost it. 4 straight three pointers from Tournament MVP, Marcus Tomashek helped the Huskies earn a 12 point lead within in the first 3 minutes and 18 seconds. The Huskies couldn't seem to miss as they built as much as a 15 point lead and kept a double digit lead through the half. Walsh couldn't have had a worst shooting performance for the game as they were 3 for 21 from behind the arc and 39.3% overall. Michigan Tech shot 54.7% overall and made 11 three's.
The Cavaliers found a small groove coming out of halftime cutting the deficit to 6 points but that was as close as the Maroon and Gold would get. Walsh got down by as much as 24 points, ending their historic season.
The Men finish their season as G-MAC Regular Season and Tournament Champions with a record of 29-4. 29 wins is the most by a Walsh team since 2010-2011.
