MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

I looked at the D3Hoops scoreboard to see that UMW was in an OT game, so I tuned in. It was a crazy finish.  After 2 Zevi Samet free throws in double overtime put Yeshiva up 1, the Eagles had 5.6 or so and got the ball in to Kai Robinson who drove to roughly the free throw line and drilled it.  .5 second on the clock. Unbelievably, Yeshiva connected on a long pass into the paint for an uncontested open layup.  He missed.

The UMW/Yeshiva game was even crazier before the second OT: with 19 seconds left Yeshiva was up by 6. UMW drained 2 FTs, then stole the next two inbounds passes and scored on both to tie it and send it to first OT. As noted, UMW won by one in second OT after Yeshiva missed a layup with .8 seconds left. What a great game. UMW now 4-0.

Been quiet here for a bit. As we approach the New Year, UMW is ranked #5 (#13 Massey) with CNU at #28 (Same with Massey). UCSC is a respectable #84 in Massey while Salisbury is #142. Warren Wilson, JWU and Regent are awful as expected. Big games for UMW coming up on 12/30 VA Wesleyan (#38) and Catholic (#29) on 1/3.
