MBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[y_jack_lok]

RMC with a 69-41 win over H-SC in Salem. A really surprising second half. The Tigers led 27-26 at halftime. But after the intermission, on so many possessions the Tigers did everything right except put the ball in the basket. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it. The Jackets had a few possessions like that in the first half, but not nearly as many. At halftime I really thought we were in for a nail-biter. As Tigerfan noted, the Tigers had zero experience in Salem and perhaps that was a factor. Tough way to end the season. Surely would have been a different game with Lynch and Fernald on the floor.

RC won the ODAC against RMC...I think I'm still in shock to be honest.

RMC had a three point lead (58-55) and the ball with about 35 seconds left. After a Roanoke time out the Maroons fouled on the inbound pass. Jabril Robinson missed the front end of a one-and-one, RC got the rebound and scored. They fouled again on the inbound and Liam Joyce missed the front end. RC got the rebound and scored again to lead 59-58 with 8.1 seconds left. RMC's Delani Hammonds drove the length of the floor, was well defended, put up a wild shot from the left side of the basket that wasn't close. Kudos to the Maroons. That is exactly what you hope for in that situation. It doesn't always work out that way, but this time it did. Remember RMC only beat Roanoke by five points in Crenshaw earlier in the season.

Congrats to the Jackets on a great regular season and ODAC tournament. Only three losses by a total of four points is pretty impressive. Best of luck in the NCAA tournament.

Congrats to the Maroons.  To tell you the truth, I'm absolutely shocked to write that.  You see, I came on to congratulate the Jackets.  Having a cold, I turned the game off with less than a minute to go and went to bed, firmly believing that the game was over and RMC had won.  I recently checked D3Hoops to see who got in the tournament and was gobsmacked.  Wow, this weekend had Omari Deveaux, ODAC POY, and Jabril Robinson, 3x 1st Team All-ODAC, at the line to win games but not getting it done to the benefit of Roanoke.  Incredible bullet dodging there.

Anyway, good luck to the ODAC teams next weekend and on.

As you all know, you have to make FTs in clutch situations, especially the front end of a 1 and 1.  Congratulations to the Maroons.  I hope RC and RMS both do well in the NCAA tournament.
