South Milwaukee Cinderella?

Update: Belmont lost.

Looking for a Cinderella to cheer for in the upcoming NCAA Tournament?

Well, a former South Milwaukee star has led his team to one win shy of the Big Dance.

Drew Windler (2009) is a starting forward for Belmont, which plays in the Ohio Valley Conference championship at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday on ESPNU. The winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The 6-foot-9 Windler, who transferred to Belmont after two years at Samford, had nine points in the OVC semifinal win over Morehead State Friday and is averaging 10 points and 4.2 rebounds per game for the Bruins.

Belmont won its division and is 24-8 overall after finishing 14-2 in the OVC.

Go Bruins! Go Drew!
