INDIANAPOLIS 87, BOWLING GREEN 81: (Indianapolis, Ind.) - After blowing a 14-point second half lead to last year's defending champions, things looked bleak for Indianapolis in front of their home crowd. They trailed most of the fourth quarter against Bowling Green, albeit by only several baskets. But the moment of truth came in the final two minutes of play. Down 81-75, Indianapolis battled back to force six turnovers on seven possessions, including three in a row with under a minute left to play, to stun Bowling Green with a 12-0 rally to end the game and move on to the next round. Indianapolis will play Fort Wayne in the 2016 CBA semifinals tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 p.m, where Fort Wayne won both meetings in the regular season. 

COLUMBUS 124, MEMPHIS 107: (Indianapolis, Ind.) - Jumping out to a 18-3 run to start the game, which included the league's leading scorer in the regular season, Brett McKnight, hitting his first three shots from behind the arc in the first two minutes of play, Columbus did not look back. Even though Memphis cut the deficit to seven points in the third quarter, Columbus dominated in all facets of the game, leading by double-digits throughout a majority of the contest. Columbus will play Middle Tennessee in the 2016 CBA semifinals tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 p.m., where it will be the first meeting between the two clubs.
