The unlikely postseason run continues for Holy Cross, for at least a couple of more days.
Robert Champion scored 19 points and the Crusaders made their free throws down the stretch to defeat Southern 59-55 in an NCAA Tournament First Four matchup Wednesday night in Dayton, Ohio.
The 16th-seeded Crusaders (15-19) advance to take on the top-seeded Oregon Ducks in a West Region matchup on Friday afternoon in Spokane.
Holy Cross is quite the Cinderella story. The Crusaders entered the Patriot League tournament as the No. 9 seed, then beat four higher-seeded teams to win the league title and earn their spot in the field of 68.
