Oklahoma Wesleyan basketball secured a spot in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference championship game after a win on Saturday night in the semifinals.

The Eagles beat Southwestern College (KS), 80-71.

In a tightly played first half, Southwestern stayed hot from the outside early to hang with OKWU. The Eagles responded with a 17-4 run over a six minute stretch to take a 13 point lead in the final three minutes. OKWU led 44-35 at halftime. This three-pointer from Angel Hidalgos capped off OKWU's run.

The night belonged once again to Tamaje Izuagbe. He finished with 36 points on 13-for-18 shooting. He finished 6-for-10 from three-point range. This three-pointer in the second half gave the Eagles their largest lead of the night.

The win sends the Eagles back to the KCAC championship game on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. OKWU will host the Friends Falcons at the Mueller Sports Center.
