Both programs are competing for their first national championship in a game that pits two of the hottest teams in the country against each other on D2 basketball’s biggest stage.
Gannon (33-3) returns to the championship game for the first time since 1987 and is led by the “Aussie Twins” Lucas and Mackenzie Morgan, who combined for 48 points in the semifinals.
Three years ago, the Golden Knights were a three-win team that was far from playoff talk. A meteoric rise in three seasons, and a stunning turnaround: 92 wins, two PSAC championships and a second Elite Eight appearance in three years. Now, they stand on the brink of the ultimate prize, competing for the first national championship in school history.
They faced a hot Lander team (30 wins and 5 losses), which has won 15 consecutive games. The Bearcats defeated defending champion Rising Stars Southeastern to punch their ticket to Indy and advance to the national finals for the first time. This game featured a classic contrast: Gannon’s high-octane offense versus Lander’s “blue wall” defense.
