 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - For almost 40 minutes, DePaul fed off the energy of Kansas State's raucous home crowd. Then, in the closing seconds, the Blue Demons stilled the cheers.
DePaul let Kansas State get close late in Monday night's second-round NIT West Regional game, but made enough plays down the stretch to reach the regional final with a 70-65 victory.
"Some teams get intimidated by a big crowd, but we actually get excited about it," said guard Sammy Mejia, who shared DePaul's scoring lead with 18 points. "Coming into the game, we knew that this place was going to be jumping, and we just wanted to make the best of it."
