Two ODAC teams and two of Salem's frequent flyers will make up this season's Division III men's basketball Final Four, as Randolph-Macon and Guilford will return to the site of the ODAC tournament and Williams and UW-Stevens Point, who played for the 2004 title, punched their tickets as well. Saturday night's men's scores.

Jostens Trophy winner Blake Schultz showed that he's not just good in academics and community service. He scored 29 points as Williams defeated Brandeis 71-57 in tonight's Elite Eight action in Williamstown, Mass. Tyler Sanborn scored 26 points and Clay Henson added 25 as Guilford made sure there was no repeat of the regular-season meeting between the two teams in Guilford's 90-80 win against Eastern Mennonite. The Royals shot 15-for-38 from three-point range and D.J. Hinson hit eight of them en route to 37 points, but Guilford hit 61 percent from the floor overall to wrap up the win.

UW-Stevens Point used balanced scoring, opening up a double-digit lead with a 20-8 run late in the first half and holding Illinois Wesleyan at arm's-length to win 72-56. Jared Jenkins led the Pointers with 15 while Jerrel Harris added 14 points in nine minutes off the bench. Sean Johnson led the Titans with 32 points but nobody else had more than seven.

Randolph-Macon made it two ODAC teams in the Final Four, as the Yellow Jackets got 23 from Eric Pugh and 14 from Danny Jones in beating Franklin and Marshall 73-65. Randolph-Macon was 11-for-20 from three-point range; F&M was 1-for-9.
