Trailing by 10 less than three minutes into the third quarter, the Rockets responded with a 24-6 run in what became a 76-58 win to send the No. 2 seed to Friday’s semifinals.

The Bulls erased a double-digit deficit by building scoring chances off forced turnovers, and shutting down Bowling Green’s inside play in the fourth quarter, until Chellia Watson’s layup with 10.5 seconds left capped off the win.
