From the Fresno Bee:
This certainly was not what Fresno City College men's basketball coach Ed Madec had envisioned. Nor did his team.
All the Rams were left with was disbelief.
Fifteenth-seeded Merritt came into the Fresno City College gymnasium and pulled off a 100-83 upset victory over the defending state champions and No. 2 Rams in a Northern California Regional game Saturday night.
Fresno City had led 33-32 at halftime, but the Rams saw starters Junior Morgan and Alex Perez foul out in the second half.
Merritt wound up leading most of the second half, including 70-64 with 7 minutes remaining. The lead grew to 15 with 1:40 remaining as the Thunderbirds cruised to the upset.
Madec decided to put together a grueling schedule to get his team ready in defense of its championship and the Rams took their lumps, but rolled to the Central Valley Conference title while grabbing the No. 2 seed.
