Women’s Semifinals
#3 Philander Smith College Lady Panthers 70, #2 Fisk University Lady Bulldogs 58

#5 Dillard University Lady Bleu Devils 45, #1 Rust College Lady Bearcats 58

#3 PHILANDER SMITH 70 def. #2 FISK 58

TOUGALOO, Miss. - In a game where every possession mattered, it would come down to the final 90 seconds between Philander Smith College and Fisk University to seal a spot in the 2023 Hope Credit Union GCAC Women’s Championship title game. In the end, another upset was in the tournament books as the Lady Panthers held on for the 70-58 win.


With a spot in the championship game on the line, both teams struggled to settle in and find an offensive groove early. The Lady Bulldogs opened the scoring with a corner three by Laila Eliotti. Philander Smith responded with a pair of quick defensive stops and transition baskets by All-GCAC First Team honoree Myia Yelder to even up the score, 5-5. The quarter would conclude with a 15-12 lead for the Lady Panthers as GCAC Player of the Year Fisk’s Maya Buckhanon would net a free throw to trim the Philander Smith lead to three, 15-12.

 

The second quarter would open with Fisk using back-to-back baskets to pull ahead. However, the Lady Panthers would answer with a series of interior shots to regain the lead. By the conclusion of the frame, the Lady Panthers would go on a 17- 8 run and enter the locker room up, 38-28. Despite being constantly double and triple-teamed, Buckhanon, who was also named All-Defensive Team, Defensive Player of the Year, and First Team All-GCAC, notched a double-double before the break.


Fisk started strong at the top of the third quarter with a 5-2 run, thanks to a right-wing three by Zipporah Davis to cut the Philander Smith lead to single digits. By the midpoint of the quarter, the Lady Panthers would stretch their lead with a corner three by Dasia Turner helping to keep momentum in their favor. At the end of the quarter, the Lady Panthers held a 56-45 lead heading into the final quarter. 


The final quarter saw the scoring gap between the teams narrow to six, 56-50, after the first four minutes. By the midpoint of the quarter, the Lady Panthers would use a scoring flurry to increase the difference to double digits, 60-50. In the waning minutes of the game, it came down to time of possession and free throws. Yelder sank two clutch shots at the charity stripe to put the game out of reach for the Lady Bulldogs by the score 70-58, sending the Lady Panthers to the championship title game. 


The Lady Panthers finished with four players in double figures led by Yelder’s 14 points, followed by Turner with 11 points and a team-high nine rebounds. Meleana Williams and Elaijha Brown each recorded 10 points. The Lady Bulldogs were led in scoring by Buckhanon, who posted a double-double with 21 points and 17 rebounds. Mya Allen and Anaya Davis also scored in double figures with 13 and 10, respectively.


The No. 3 Philander Smith College Lady Panthers will face the No. 1 Rust College Lady Bearcats on Sunday, February 26 at 2 p.m. in the championship title game of the 2023 Hope Credit Union GCAC Women’s Basketball Championship.


 #1 RUST 58 def. #5 DILLARD 45    

TOUGALOO, Miss. - It was a game of runs, and the top seed rallied down the stretch to move on to the title  game of the 2023 Hope Credit Union GCAC Women’s Basketball Championship. The Rust College Lady Bearcats pushed past the fifth-seeded Dillard University Lady Bleu Devils, 58-45.


Both teams came ready to play from the opening whistle. A quick three by Dekeriya Patterson for the Lady Bearcats and followed by consecutive layups by Dillard’s Alexis Gie and Jordyn Rowe started scoring for both teams this game. By the midway point of the first quarter, neither team could grasp a hold momentum as each team made strong defensive stops to keep the Lady Bearcats ahead by one, 8-7. The quarter would come to a close with offense being scarce for both teams, until a deep top of the arc by Faith Cattouse extended Rust’s lead to six, 15-9. 


The second frame would be more of the same with the Lady Bearcats went up by eight while the Lady Bleu Devils tried to pick up the defensive intensity. As the quarter progressed towards the midpoint, Rust would use a 9-3 run to pull ahead by 12 points, 24-12. The Lady Bleu Devils would respond with back-to-back jumpers by Gie and Taylor Dewitt to cut into the lead but Rust followed with consecutive fast-break layups to push the point differential back into double digits. The first half concluded with the Lady Bearcats expanding their lead to 11, taking a 29-18 lead into the locker room.


The third stanza saw the Lady Bearcats use back-to-back baskets from Niya McGuire to pull ahead by 15. The Lady Bleu Devils attempted to string together a run to inch closer but Rust dug in its collective heels. By the end of the quarter, the lead had been cut down to nine, behind free throws from Dewitt. 


Lady Bearcats pushed their lead back to double digits, thanks to jumpers from Patterson and Lyric Turner early in the fourth quarter. The Lady Bleu Devils slowly clawed their way back into the game but were forced to burn a timeout at the 6:31 mark after an offensive explosion from Rust, capped with another Patterson trey to push the lead to 16, 50-34. An offensive flurry brought the Lady Bearcats lead down to eight. However, it would be too late for Dillard as successful trips to the free throw line by Katie Blackmon and Madison Riley put the game away for good and punched Rust’s ticket into the championship with a final score of 58-45. 


The No. 1 Rust College Lady Bearcats will tip off against the No.3 Philander Smith College Lady Panthers on Sunday, February 26 at 2 p.m. in the championship title game of the 2023 Hope Credit Union GCAC Women’s Basketball Championship.

Men’s Semifinals

#6 Fisk University Bulldogs 72, #2 Philander Smith College Panthers 79

#4 Wiley College Wildcats 69, #1 Tougaloo College Bulldogs 75

TOUGALOO, Miss. - A late flurry of shots fell shy in an upset attempt as No. 2 Philander Smith College held off #6 Fisk University in the semifinals of the 2023 Hope Credit Union GCAC Men’s Basketball Championship. The Panthers outlasted the Bulldogs, 79-72.

The game’s first few minutes opened with the Panthers raising the intensity on the defensive end to slow down the Bulldogs. The combination of a corner three and putback layup by GCAC All-Defensive Team selection Rayonte Childs gave the Panthers early momentum. By the midway point of the first half, the Panthers used another trey from Childs to extend Philander Smith’s lead, 17-8. The Bulldogs would respond with shots from the charity stripe and a baseline jumper by All-GCAC First Team honoree Tyon Thompson to cut into the Panthers’ 24-16 lead. As the half wound down, the Bulldogs doubled down on defense and beat the Panthers on a fast break to bring the lead down to single digits. The Bulldogs would go on a run to close out the half and enter the locker room trailing the Panthers 40-33. 

In the second frame, Fisk managed to trim the point differential to one point, 40-39, behind a triple from All-Defensive Team honoree Michael Ashley. The Panthers fired back and the teams entered an intense back-and-forth battle as the stanza moved toward its midpoint. Childs and Raymond Reece led the Philander Smith surge that expanded the lead to five, 53-48. With four minutes remaining in regulation, the teams were separated by only a field goal, 68-66. The Panthers would regain a foothold after points from Christione Rufus and Reece grew the Philander Smith advantage to six, 74-68. As the final 90 seconds ticked off the clock, the Bulldogs cut the lead down to two but shots from the charity stripe by Derrick Woods and David Kellah extended the Panthers’ lead to six once again. After one final defensive stop and successful free throws, the Panthers would earn its spot in the championship title game, winning 79-72. 

The Panthers finished with four players in double figures, led by Childs’ 21 points, followed by Reece with 12 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Rufus and Woods each recorded 12 points. The Bulldogs were led in scoring by Ashley, who posted a double-double with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Thompson and Ethan Jones both scored in double figures with 11 points each, respectively.

The No.2 Philander Smith College Panthers will face No. 1 Tougaloo College Bulldogs on Sunday, February 26 at 5 p.m. in the championship title game of the 2023 Hope Credit Union GCAC Men’s Basketball Championship.

#1 TOUGALOO 75 def. #4 WILEY 69

TOUGALOO, Miss. - The energy was electric in Kroger Gymnasium with fans on their feet for the final 90 seconds of regulation with a trip to the championship game on the line. In the end, the top-seeded Tougaloo College Bulldogs pulled out the win over the No. 4 Wiley College Wildcats to advance to Championship Sunday at the 2023 Hope Credit Union GCAC Men’s Basketball Championship.


The Bulldogs opened the game with a three-pointer by Second Team All-GCAC selection Trajan Fielder and the Wildcats fired back with back-to-back baskets from Antonio Jones. Tougaloo then used a triple from DeArius Henyard to cut the score to 11-6. The Wildcats worked to chip the ice off their rim to stay in the game just as Tougaloo’s offense was lifted by an 8-4 run, capped with back-to-back threes from Fielder and the GCAC Player of the Year Cameron Copeland. Wiley’s offense was able spring back into action as Antwan Bean converted a layup to tie the game at 22 all. The teams battled for control until two consecutive left-wing three-point shots by First Team All-GCAC selection Maurice Harvey would push the Wildcats’ lead to four, 35-31. The Bulldogs answered, using three consecutive baskets from Copeland to narrow the Wiley lead with seconds remaining. However, the first half would come to a close with Wiley entering the locker room holding onto a slim 40-37 advantage.


The second stanza opened with a quick 6-0 run by the Bulldogs, fueled by shots from Fielder and Second Team All-GCAC selection Darryl Jones to take the lead. By the 11:32 mark, the game was knotted at 50. As the final minutes ticked down, the Wildcats went on an 8-2 run led by Harvey, whose three pushed the Wiley lead to six. Coming out of a late media timeout, the Bulldogs got a much-needed spark from Copeland, who drilled a trey and followed with a layup to kick off a 9-2 run for Tougaloo as they would go up 67-64. With 90 seconds remaining, Harvey eyed narrowing the scoring differential once again, completing an and-one play to cut the deficit to one point. However, clutch shots from the charity stripe by Copeland preceded another dunk from Jones that would put the game out of reach for good, sending the Bulldogs to the GCAC championship game with the final score of 75-69. 


The Panthers finished with four players in double figures, led by Copeland’s 21 points, followed by Henyard who added 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Jones and Fielder each recorded 13 and 10 points, respectively, in the effort. The Wildcats were led in scoring by Harvey, who posted 22 points. Jones, David Williams, and Justin Minter contributed in double figures, recording 11, 13, and 10 points, respectively.
