HUDGINS AT THE BUZZER FOR THE TITLE
With Northwest trailing Missouri Southern 76-75 in the closing seconds, the Bearcats committed enough fouls to put the Lions into the bonus.
    The Bearcats put Braelon Walker to the line for a 1-and-1 with 6.8 seconds left. Walker missed the front end and Ryan Hawkins corralled the miss. Hawkins found Trevor Hudgins who sped down the floor to the left wing.
    Hudgins was met by a pair of Lions defenders, but split them with a jump stop and lifted an off-balance, lean-in jumper that found nothing but the bottom of the net as the clock hit 0:00.0.
    Hudgins was mobbed by Bernard and his teammates as the Bearcat student section flooded onto the floor to celebrate the seventh consecutive MIAA regular season title for Northwest. Hudgins game-winner capped a 19-point, six-assist performance.
