Ok I thouhgt I would try this since I took a looooong lunch and have my fingers crossed going into the last 7 minutes of the game vs. UCONN.
7:45 4th Quarter: Smalligan fouled out after a nice dunk.
Missed a simple ass layup, too much time left and now we just went down and gave them a 3 point opportunity. 63-55.
7:16 - Mazzulla back in the game… thank god. Speed baby!
7:08 - God damn, yet another foul… I’ve never seen so many fouls. 22 in the 2nd half. I think this might be the same crew that reffed the Pitt/WVU game on the 3rd.
6:48 - Alexander is hitting his free throws.. 8 out of 9.. er… 9 out of 10. SWEET.
6:32 - AIR BALL….. AIR BALL …. AIR BALL UCONN just chucked one.
6:22 - Up by 12, we have to make sure we can keep up the momentum. Good grief another foul. Slow the game down, burn the clock.
5:25 - Good chance to see how WVU and Huggins will manage the clock. A walk by Mazzulla, but used some of the clock. Up by 11.
4:38 - Alexander just doesn’t miss that turnaround jumper. He’s at 29 points with 4 minutest to go. The new Pittsnogle maybe???
4:22 - UCONN coach looking desperate. Love it. Just play smart ball and we got this one and on to the 3rd round and a rematch against G’town. Ruoff stepped out of bounds.. WTF???
3:41 - They are calling fouls left and right, can’t lose our concentration. It looks like they are playing too safe, speed it up a bit throw down some easy 2’s
3:00 - Sweet offensive rebound by Alexander. burnin the clock!! (and timeouts)
2:24 - HOT DAMN>>>.. another O Rebound…
2:02 - Ruoff fouled out and they got a 3 point chance… damn… this will make it a 4 point game.. come on guys don’t blow this….GOod he missed it.. 5 points game
1:27 - They ran the clock down again and got the O Rebound!! then the foul… nice.. fighting like crazy.
1:00 - OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH no he didn’t!!!!! Alexander just smacked it down! 10 point lead. Damn! GAME OVER!!!!!
:14… another SLAM DUNK BABY!!!! game over!!!
Great performance by the Mounties. Don’t get burnt out guys and take it to the Big Dance!!
LETSSS GOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!
