ZachTheZip Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Wow, can anything get better than that?Oh wait... Can't State Still Sucks!Going into overtime. There's a reason NIU is in the worst 2% of the teams in the NCAA. They fouled while they had the lead with under a minute to go. Quote
skip-zip Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Now......5 teams within ONE game of each other battling for those #3 and #4 tournament seeds. Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Did i read that right? Did the guy for NIU miss a layup with 15 seconds left that would have put them ahead 84-83?It scares me that Can't is still hanging in there for the bye. If they get that, you never know. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 This was a classic case of pulling defeat from the jaws of victory for NIU. They had lots of chances to nail this game down.Would have been nice. Now the Zips need to pound them by 30 in their own gym as a punishment. Quote

If they get that, you never know.It was worse than that. NIU only needed to inbound the ball, up by 2pts with about 5 seconds remaining, to win (K.e.n.t. would have fouled them). Instead, NIU inbounded the ball to a K.e.n.t. player...then immediately fouled him!! He made the FT's and they went to OT.NIU also went about 1-9 (my guess) down the stretch at the free throw line. They had a million easy chances to ice the game. Quote

ZachTheZip Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 NIU is arguably the worst team in the NCAA. You can give them every possible opportunity to win a game, and they'll find a way to lose. Quote
Dave in Green Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I was watching the play-by-play online until it went into OT. As bad as NIU is, Can't wasn't much better. Last year's MAC Player of the Year missed a layup and then a free throw late in the second half that almost handed the game to NIU. But NIU handed it right back. Can't seems to bounce back and forth between being pathetic and being dangerous. I don't think there's any predicting what we'll see in the last game of the regular season. Quote
