HOW THEY GOT HERE
The Gusties, fueled by a 10 wins in its final 11 games — including a 63-62 triumph over then No. 1 Carleton, earned a share of their first-ever MIAC regular-season title. At 20-2, Gustavus shared the conference's top spot with Carleton and St. Benedict., but the Gusties lost the coin flip with Carleton and were forced to settle for the No. 2 seed, which means they wil face the highest remaining seed in Wednesday's semifinals.
