It was soooo close.
All evening, I wondered if I would be able to stay awake long enough to watch the game. It started at midnight here and at 10 I was yawning like crazy. When the game finally started, I didn’t think I would have to stay up much longer as LSU took a 9-1 lead. I thought maybe the Aggies didn’t have anything left for another game.
Then, they started coming back and before I knew it they went on a 17-0 run. They were back even with the Tigers and we had a game on our hands. They never let the Tigers get out of reach and it was an incredible game.
When Acie Law hit the 12 foot jumper with 20 seconds or so to go to put us up by 2, I thought we had them. Our defense had stopped them all night. Nothing had come easy for LSU so all we had to do was make one more stop. Also, they had scored almost all of their points from inside the paint, so the worst case scenario was a tie and overtime. They had only made one 3 pointer all game, so we were safe.
Boy was I wrong. LSU put up a 3 pointer from 5 feet behind the arc. It was a prayer. My first thought was that they put it up a little early on purpose so that they could get a rebound and score off that. They hadn’t shot anything from that far out all game.
It went in with 3.5 seconds left. Everything ended. All hope was gone.
It was an incredible run! This is definately an Aggie team that should show great things in the next few years. We will be back! I guess it means I’ll be able to get some sleep through the rest of the tourney. This one kept me up until 2:25am. I wasn’t hard because it was such an great game. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Gig’Em!
It was a great game. Enjoyed it getting to share bits of it with you. Have a great week.
I did not watch the game because I was at church; however, I know it was incredible. Do you think you should be a sportscaster on the side. The Aggies played a great game!
Hey! Any idea where to watch the final four in Budapest?
Thanks,
