Really was an exciting game! You would think a two point lead with 2.9 to go would stand up unless there was a Laettner/Muscala miracle, but the inbound at half court rule made the difference.
After requiring a 15 minute "power play" to beat nova, who would think we would have much chance yesterday. Hass apparently not available down the stretch.He was limping pretty badly. Hopefully he is ok.
Stupid announcer did not know the game was going to OT until play was ready to start. He said they put .04 seconds back on the clock.

Watching some of TBT on ESPN2. I see Todd O'Brien is playing for Overseas Elite, who is currently leading Ram Nation, VCU Alum, as they near the half.

The Pitt team that the Bison took to OT and deserved to beat on Sunday just took down a loaded Syracuse team. Had about ten good 'Cuse alums on it.

Yes I saw the game. I thought the 'Cuse team would take it by ten but the Pitt team is formidable. Very impressive that the Bucknell team to not only hang in without perhaps their best offensive player in the second half, but really, deserve to win the game. That Wanamaker shot to force overtime was just very lucky given his body angle and angle to the backboard. I wonder how the Warriors would have fared against the Syracuse squad?

Yep, and Todd O'Brien got himself $174,000 with the win.

I was talking with my buddy, who works for a major sports network, and he said that all of his coworkers were following this tournament. They love that it was a winner-take-all event.

A fun read about the "Basketball Tournament" juggernaut that is 'Overseas Elite', featuring the likes of Errick McCollum (brother of C.J.), and short-lived Bucknell Center Todd O'Brien. Todd was on my freshman hall, and I can confirm that he is both tall and good at basketball.

That is a very interesting story. I'm surprised that they have won 4 in a row.
