MINNEAPOLIS — They were loose, confident and not too caught up in seeds or rankings.
Heck, they played Lightning during their morning shoot-around.
They said they felt Champlin Park presented a favorable matchup, and the Rebels did.
It added up to a 55-51 state Class 4A quarterfinal win for the St. Cloud Tech boys basketball team.
"We knew we could play with them," Tech senior guard Scott Nystrom said. "We knew we could beat them."

Third-seeded Champlin Park (24-6) rallied from a 16-point deficit to tie it up a couple times in the second half, the last at 44-44.
