What to Know

The Grand Canyon Antelopes and the Southern Utah Thunderbirds are set to clash at 11:30 p.m. ET March 11 at Orleans Arena in the fourth round of the Western Athletic Conference Tourney. Both teams are tiptoeing into their matchup after sneaking past their previous opponents.

Grand Canyon earned some more postseason success in their game on Friday. They had just enough and edged out the Sam Houston Bearkats 78-75. The Antelopes' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but guard Kobe Knox led the charge as he shot 6-for-6 from downtown and finished with 21 points.

Speaking of close games: the Thunderbirds escaped with a win on Friday against the Utah Valley Wolverines by the margin of a single free throw, 89-88. Southern Utah got their victory on the backs of several key players, and it was center Jason Spurgin out in front picking up 15 points in addition to seven rebounds.

With both teams having displayed their playoff mettle, spectators can expect a high-quality contest. Check back with CBS Sports for more details during and after the game.
