Western wins, 64-63.
BG got a decent look but a 3 came up short. Western is in.
Western wins we play them in cleveland
Not if Eastern loses. Western would be 6.
Which is gonna happen
Kent beats Eastern, here are the quarters.
Akron vs. Central/BG
Toledo vs. OU
Kent vs. Western
Miami vs. Eastern
NIU ties Central with 11 seconds left.
Overtime in Mt. Pleasant. Centralās shot just bounces off the front rim.
Going to overtime against horrible NIU at home with Cleveland on the line is bad
Playing Eastern-Kent-Akron is legitimately worse case. Those are the three hardest teams for us to beat in my opinion.
Since Miamiās game ended, Iāve watched parts of WMU/BG, OU/Toledo, EMU/Kent, and now NIU/CMU.
You have to love March.
Iād rather play Kent than OU imo. We beat Kent twice. Also I think they have a better chance at slipping up against western
Doubt OT in Mt Pleasant
CMU had its own Nick Anderson/1995 NBA finals moment with 2 missed FT attempts, an offensive board, and then 2 more missed FT attempts.
Eastern worries meā¦
Another 0-2 from CMU at the line
And now a 1-2 down 2
They are well coached but you canāt imagine anyone looks at us and thinks ācool, thatās an easy out.ā Time to win it all.
Tie game with 17 seconds left in 2OT! NIU ball!
NIU TAKES THE LEAD ON A PASS (Iām not joking) WITH 1.5 SECONDS LEFT
