College basketball's postseason has already turned wild — in the Horizon League, at least.

All four quarterfinals in the Horizon Tournament came

Cleveland State, the top seed in the tournament, outlasted Purdue Fort Wayne 108-104 in triple overtime. Algevon Eichelberger, who hadn't made a 3-pointer all season, banked one in during the final seconds of the second OT to tie the game for Cleveland State.

Second-seeded Wright State wasn't as fortunate. The Raiders led by 24 with under 6 1/2 minutes left in regulation but eventually lost 94-92 to Milwaukee in overtime. Milwaukee's DeAndre Gholston made the tying 3-pointer in that game in the final seconds of regulation.

Third-seeded Oakland won in overtime as well, 87-83 over Youngstown State. The one game that didn't require an extra session was still decided at the buzzer. David Böhm capped a wild scramble around the basket with a putback just as the clock was expiring, giving Northern Kentucky a 70-69 win over Detroit Mercy.

The semifinals are Monday.
