NASHVILLE -- Good things happen when you shoot the lights out.

For the Webb Feet, those good things couldn't have happened at a better time.

Sophomore Logan Burchett and junior Will Murphy scorched the nets all night long, combining for nine 3-pointers and 49 points as Webb earned a convincing 71-58 victory Saturday over homestanding University School of Nashville to claim third place in the East/Middle Region tournament.

"I hit that one shot in the beginning and I just felt really confident, and confidence helps me when I'm shooting the ball," said Burchett, who finished with four treys and a career-high 30 points.

The Feet improved to 20-5 on the season and now advance to take on West Region No. 2 seed Tipton-Rosemark on Saturday in Memphis with the winner advancing to the Division II-A Final Four at Lipscomb University.

"Talking to those guys (Saturday) I didn't know how we would come out because we were so disappointed with (Friday's loss), but I tried to stay positive with them," said Feet coach Jeff Mitchell, whose team played short-handed without sophomore leading scorer Hunter Foutch following an ankle injury during Friday's game.

"Having Hunter out was a big blow because he is our leading scorer, but for guys like Logan and Will to step up and play like did…they made up for those points.

"Everybody came in with a great attitude and played their role. We had our backs against the wall, knowing that we had a nice season but that we were going home if we didn't win," he said. "I think having Hunter out let us play loose because we had nothing to lose and we just needed to knock down some shots."

The Feet more than knocked down their share of shots in the first half, draining eight 3s while shooting 66 percent from the field. Webb, who trailed 19-14 following one period, erupted on a 15-6 run to open the second stanza, seizing a four-point advantage. Helped by Burchett and Murphy's 14 and 12 points, respectively, in the first half, Webb concluded the second quarter on a 9-2 spurt to take a 38-30 lead into the locker room.

"I told my teammates that we needed to have a mindset going in that some of us needed to step up because (Foutch) is averaging 16 a game," Burchett said. "Will really did a good job and he hit five big 3s as well."

The Feet opened the second half on a 7-2 run to grab a 45-32 cushion, but USN cut its deficit to five with an ensuing 8-0 spurt. Webb got a late bucket and a little momentum as it took a 49-42 edge after three quarters.

The visitors took command early in the final frame, snatching a 12-point edge. After the Tigers got within nine, Webb then responded with an 8-0 run to amass the insurmountable margin.

Burchett and Murphy each finished with a career-high in points, totaling 30 and 19, respectively. Senior Jordan Burchett tacked on another 12 points and pulled down 18 rebounds for the winners.

"What can you say about Jordan Burchett? He's just a warrior," Mitchell said. "He keeps coming at you and you don't see it in the scoring all the time, but he goes after every ball every time. That was an impressive performance."

The Tigers (14-13) were guided by Scott Fishel and James Byrd with 18 apiece, while Ricky Coleman added 15.

"They've been wanting that 20th win because we've been close for a while," Mitchell added. "They've been talking about it, so that was good to get."

The focus now turns to the road to Tipton-Rosemark for their sectional clash this weekend.

"We need some rest and then we'll get to work on some film study," added Mitchell, whose team was eliminated in the state quarterfinals last season in Memphis. "We just want to go over there, play loose like we did tonight with our backs against the wall and you never know what will happen."
