From the article:

The Shockers win the game and the automatic NCAA bid, 62-60.

Then it is determined that there are still 1.9 seconds left in the game. The Shockers, thinking the game is over, are getting a ladder to cut down the nets when Weems dribbles the length of the court in 1.9 seconds, but misses the uncontested layup.

Even though the Shockers are now on a ladder at the other end of the court, they are called for a foul on the uncontested layup. Weems is awarded 3 FT's, and makes all 3 to give the Bears the victory.

Meanwhile, in the production trailer outside the arena, Doug Elgin already has video that appears to support the Bears victory. It is ruled that the name on the back of the shirt of the player committing the foul, which appears to say Hamilton, is distorted by a reflection, since Jerome did not make the trip.

I like it!

I think our depth will be the key.
Seems like we've been much better in the second half of pretty much all of our games. I normally don't notice, but I would assume our constant exchanging of players has led to us pulling away.

3 games in 3 days? MSU 7 man rotation? If we get them in a fast game.... game over.
I think Coach Martin is smart enough not to let his players get into a track meet though.

First things first. beat Drake (or bradley, whatever be the case)

The bracket is very Shocker friendly.
