I can't believe you missed one the most awesome games in recent CPP history. I recall a buzzard beater during the Jeff Bonds days that may have been half as exciting as this one. I am convinced we have the best coach in Div 2. I had just given up just before Swifts and Fells buzzard beaters with .6 seconds left in regulation and OT respectively. Before those two plays, Coach K was actually SMILING and encouraged our guys to give it their all, probably knowing this was not the end for Swift and Nasser. I can only chalk this up to the experience we've gained all these years in the playoffs.
Going forward to the regional final on Monday, I'm still not sure Tobi's showing the nerves of steel that made him a leader during last years tourney, but as we saw tonight, Fells can more than fill that void. Anderson's open treys from the side after a feed out from the center work like a charm. And just as Larry played every point as his last, Swift seems to be taking after him quite well. Way to step it up Austin! Our sucky charity work didn't affect us tonight coming from behind but is still a huge weakness to watch out for if we're ahead.
If this BYU team is anything like last years, we should have a real match on our hands. As I recall they had a few studs that could shoot from the outside especially that Brazilian guy, whom I believe was coming back this year. I don't know why they had a slow start this year but they're on a long winning streak now and they blew away the Yotes. Expect nothing but a close game. Go Broncos!!! |
