Oakland forward Derick Nelson scored a career-high 36 points to lead the Grizzlies to the Big Dance. He was 15 of 23 against IUPUI, and the team has won 20 of its last 21 games.
Nelson broke his nose earlier in the Summit tournament against UMKC, but a broken beak wasn't going to hold the 6-foot-5 senior back. He averaged 12.4 points and 6.1 rebounds.
