Enough 3s don't fall, allowing an opposing team to surround Williams and Kann inside.
Famous Last Words

How They Got Here: MAC champions
It was a simple formula for the Broncos. They took care of business at home and in the conference tournament -- and picked up some quality wins along the way. The Broncos went 15-0 in Read Fieldhouse and swept through the MAC tourney behind their dynamic frontcourt duo of Mike Williams and Anthony Kann. With wins over USC, Arizona State and UAB this season, Western Michigan had tournament credentials even before securing the automatic bid. You may not know much about them, but the Broncos are a quality team.
PLAYER TO WATCH
