BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — As was the theme for the regular season, a promising start gave way to a disappointing finish for the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions.
Sixth-seeded UAPB, which easily won its Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament quarterfinal game Thursday, was no match for second-seeded Mississippi Valley State on Friday, losing 70-59 at Fair Park Arena.
The Golden Lions (13-18 ), who were picked in preseason to finish second and opened with a 5-2 conference record, lost nine of their last 13 games.
Mississippi Valley State (16-15 ) will take on the Alabama State-Jackson State winner in the final at 6 p.m. today. The tournament champion will get the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
