(March 25) -- Saturday's NCAA Division II championship game featured the top two scoring teams in NCAA Division II -- and the action did not disappoint any viewer of this contest.

In only the second championship game in NCAA Division Ii history in which a team scored at least 100 points, both teams cleared the century mark as Nova Southeastern -- the top scoring team in Division II -- beat West Liberty 111-101 to capture the school's first national title in men's basketball. It also allowed the Sharks to become the sixth team to complete a perfect season as it ended the year at 36-0.

Nova Southeastern shot 62.8 percent in the first half and built a 55-48 lead in the process. The 55 points were the most ever in the first half of a championship game, tied the second-most by a team in a half and the 103 scored were the most by two teams in the opening half and the most by two teams ever in any half. Some of those numbers lasted for only a half, as Nova Southeastern outscored West Liberty 56-53 in the second half to tie the record for points in a half by a team and the 109 combined points was the most ever by two teams over a 20-minute period of play.

The title game featured a number of huge individual performances as well. Bryce Butler scored 32 points to lead five Hilltoppers in double figures, but the Sharks had a three-headed monster headed by co-most outstanding players Will Yoakum and RJ Sunahara. Yoakum led the way with 31 points and Sunahara added 28, while a third member of the all-tournament team, Dallas Graziani, finished with 24. They were joined on the all-tournament team by Butler and Black Hills State's Joel Scott.
