The Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats are Final Four bound once again.

The Bearcats marched into Evansville, Indiana as the number-five seed matching up with number- four seed Bentley, coming out on top 61- 43.

Northwest got off to a fast start taking a 5-0 lead early in the first half and never looked back, holding the lead for the entire game.

Trevor Hudgins led the Bearcats with 24 points, while Diego Bernard recorded a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds.

The Bearcats will face the winner of number-one seed Nova Southern and number-eight seed Black Hills State on Thursday, time is to be determined.
