Four Golden State Men’s Teams Advance in NAIA

Golden State Athletic Conference men’s teams are now 8-0 in the NAIA Division I men’s basketball tournament at Tulsa, Okla., making the GSAC the first conference to send four teams to the quarterfinals.

No GSAC teams play one another in today’s round of eight, so an all-GSAC Final Four is a possibility.

Jack Hartman’s jumper with 33 seconds left in overtime gave No. 16-seeded Biola (29-7) a 57-55 victory over No. 1-seeded Incarnate Word of Texas (28-2) on Thursday.

Westmont got double-doubles from Brian Gomes and Chris Gonzales and the Warriors (28-5) cruised to a 75-53 victory over No. 4-seeded and defending national champion Georgetown of Kentucky (30-6). . . . Seventh-seeded Azusa Pacific (28-5) got 22 points from All-American T.J. Walker and built a 19-point lead at halftime on its way to an 87-68 victory over Findlay of Ohio (21-9). . . . The Master’s College (22-13), an independent, shot only 35.8% and lost, 79-66, to No. 12-seeded Oklahoma Baptist (31-6), becoming the first California school to be eliminated. . . .
