Back to Montana
Because it's not like there's an exciting Tennessee-Winthrop matchup we could be watching.
1:58 pm Nevada may want to not let short guys stand under the basket to get offensive rebounds. I'm just sayin'. 44-37 Nevada.
1:59 pm In a second half contrast, now Montana is putting up threes while Nevada passes them up. Except Montana makes their shots, while Nevada misses the floaters in the lane as well. Montana by ten.
2:06 pm A sign in the Montana section: "Grizzly Bear - 1,300 lbs. Wolf - 70 lbs. No contest." Nick Fazekas (The Nevada center, not the Montana one as I thought in the now-corrected first half post) is disputing that, but Montana seems to be outscrapping the rest of the Wolf Pack. 49-44 Montana, but CBS has taken us back to Greensboro.
2:07 pm Just in time for Winthrop to break a five minute drought with a three. And then we go to timeout.
2:14 pm Winthrop takes a timeout with 52 seconds remaining. Smart, since their point guard had spent the last five dribbling back and forth.
2:12 pm Winthrop can get any offensive production, almost losing the pall to an inbounds violation, only to have the shot clock expire. Tennesee miss, Winthrop miss, Tennessee travel. No one wants to win this game.
2:14 pm Is Marquette coming back against Alabama. Did Bradshaw just airball a free throw for Tennessee? The answers are tough to tell and yes, respectively.
2:15 pm Winthrop can't get it inside, and takes a long poor three. Tennessee takes a timeout with 21 seconds left.
2:18 pm Tennessee misses a three - I've seen one made shot and a free throw since we tuned in to this game - but takes the long rebound away from Winthrop with a possible over and back. Another timeout and one more bite at the apple. And another clock replay debate.
2:21 pm 2.9 seconds is the final verdict. Tennessee hits a cray shot for the lead. That one they can make? 0.4 seconds left.
2:25 pm Winthrop tossesd it off the backboard to get a decent shot, but it doesn't fall. It probably would have been overturned on clock review anyway. Tennessee escapes with the win.
I got a call from a former Illini roommate who made it down to San Diego for the bombscare. Not a lot to report - he wasn't told anything, he wandered over to a practice gym and ran into all the teams waiting to get in. Nice little thing for him, but not really breaking news.
