Mustangs Fail to Hold a 59-51 Lead With 1:58 Remaining in the Game - Cru Hits Three 3s In Overtime Including the Buzzer Beater To Win 68-67
Ahhh, I had a feeling that this was a major trap game for us and said as much at the top of our broadcast In what was pretty much an ask and answer affair, our Mustangs went on a 12-0 run early in the fourth quarter to build a 54-47 lead, and then expanded it to 59-51 with 1:58 to paly in the game. It was only then that I relaxed and realized that we would prevail in our final prep prior to the All “A” Big Dance on Thursday. However the Cru was having nothing of it, hitting shots while we turned it over, outscoring us 8 to nothing down the stretch to force overtime. In OT the Cru hit three 3-Pointers with the last one coming as time expired to propel the home team to the win. You can’t make it up. Once again, we brought out the best 3-Point shooting from our opponents, as they hit on 11 of them in this contest. We countered with 6. Parker Mulberry hit two of them, rising his season total to 42 and was our leading scorer with 14. Dom Hadden put up 12 and Ben Doyle 11.
In our defense we have been playing whirlwind basketball since last Monday, when we played three of four days that included bus trips to Mount Olivet, a bus trip to Berea on Friday where we played Berea on Saturday, attended the Snowball Dance Sunday night, played Louisville Collegiate at home on Monday, and then the St. Henry Crusaders on Tuesday. Hopefully, we will be sufficiently rested come Thursday at 12:30pm CDT when we take on Pineville on the 94 foot floor at the Owensboro Sportscenter. Ironically, when we won the 10th Region Big Tournament in 2000, we had lost 4 of 5 of our final regular season games. The Lexington Herald-Leader posted a headline stating, “So Much For Late Season Momentum.” Perhaps history will repeat itself. We won seven of eight in the postseason including the 10th Region Championship Game, and a win in Rupp Arena against 27-2 Graves County.
