Can’t believe I saw that happen in two consecutive games.
St. Mary’s trying to come back against Memphis with just a few seconds in the game – and Memphis turns the ball over on the in-bounce. The Gaels get the ball into their star player, but he can’t make the game-winning three pointer to finish the comeback.
Then, it looks like #14 Davidson was going to make an attempt at becoming Cinderella. But with under 10 seconds and a 1 point lead, the Davidson player trying to extend the play instead of allowing himself to get fouled throws the ball out of bounds. Marquette gets 6 seconds to win the game, they get the ball into their star player, but unfortunately for Cinderella, he drives to the basket for a lay-up and the clock struck midnight for Davidson.
One can only hope the evening games keep up this pace. Right now, we have #16 seed Southern only down 3 at half against Gonzaga – and #12 seed Oregon is up 11 at half against Oklahoma State. Could be more fireworks in store!!!!
