After fighting its way out of the loser’s bracket, Central Connecticut punched its ticket for the NCAA tournament by upsetting regular season NEC conference champion Bryant in consecutive games, both tightly contested affairs. CCSU is the kind of team that works without a net, and they came through under tough circumstances to make the field.
Take them lightly at your own peril.
