UNDATED (WHTC-AM/FM, Mar. 21, 2022) – Grand Valley State faces Missouri-Western in a NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament quarterfinal game in Birmingham, Alabama this afternoon.

Hope captured the Division III crown this past Saturday with a 71-58 triumph over Wisconsin-Whitewater in Pittsburgh.
In the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament last night, Duke defeated Michigan State, 85-76.
