For the second straight year, St. Matthew ended Uni's postseason hopes. In 2008, the teams met in the regional title game. Tonight they faced off in the semifinals. Despite guard Tarik Koric's 13 points, including three treys, the defending champs were too much for the Illineks, who nevertheless enjoyed a superlative year.

The first visit is slated for Friday, with the remaining visits scheduled to take place before Agora Days. Check inside for details.
