Forget those Texas State dancing girls. It was Colgates's Kyle Roemer who was struttin' his stuff in the Raiders' 83-77 win.

Roemer went 7 for 15 from the field, finishing with 24 points to lead Colgate past Texas State and into the finals of Kennesaw State's 100 Club Classic. Why Roemer bothered shooting inside the arc is beyond me. The 6-3 junior from California hit 5 threes on 10 attempts. Inside the arc he shot a lesser percentage, hitting 2 of 5.

Tim Pounds added 19 points for Colgate, which shot 53.8 percent (28-52) from the fgield and outrebounded the Bobcats 47-28.

Junior forward Brandon Bush led Texas State with a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double. The Bobcats hit 23 of 68 (33.8 percent)from the field.

The Raiders will face host Kennesaw State (1-2) in Saturday night's final. Kennesaw State advanced by downing Jacksonville State 80-74 in the other semifinal.
