Semifinals: (1) Charleston Southern vs. (5) Coastal Carolina
The Bucs built another huge halftime lead, 32-16 this time. However, Coastal didn't give up and found a way to narrow the leas to 38-36 with 1:01. But the Bucs defense stiffened, forced a few turnovers, leading to an 8-2 run to close out the game. Another solid effort from Mertz.

Conference Championship: (1) Charleston Southern vs. (10) Gardner Webb
The Bucs found themselves in an 8 pt halftime deficit against an upstart Gardner Webb squad. And it wasn't looking good as neither team scored for the first 4:13 of the 2nd half. But the Bucs defense created turnovers on three consecutive possessions that led to points, keying a 12-0 run to take the lead. It's a tight battle the rest of the way, and Gardner Webb retakes the lead with 21 seconds left. They foul Freshman C Jacques Evans with no time left on the clock, but he only makes 1 free throw to send it to OT. A gassed Gardner Webb can't keep up in OT and the Bucs pull away for a 10 pt victory.
