MBB: American Rivers Conference

[Greek Tragedy]

Looks like BV hits a 3 after WU goes up by 3 after two free throws...the FTs happen around the 7 second mark...according to semi live stats!  OT at 71 apiece.

turnover city for the beavers tonight.... 29 so far.  42.7 seconds left w/ beavers down 79-76 after a 3 point play by fogleman

Wash U w/ 5 pt lead w/ 29 seconds to go...beaver basketball after the time-out

[3baller]

30th turnover... 81-76 w/ Wash U at the line for 2 freethrows

[3baller]

8.8 seconds left .........down 7......need a Reggie Miller miracle

Wash U wins 85-77 final (OT)

Turnovers were the killer it sounds like.  BV ended up shooting better than 50%, hit 9 threes, and outrebounded Wash U.  But when you give up that many possessions, no good can come of it.

Tough loss for the Beavers tonight in OT.

Great run for the IIAC in the tourny, should help out for the upcoming year(s).

Good news for BV, they return 4 starters and basically a 5th with Stribe.

Congrats to the seniors on a great year and an outstanding career!

Congrats to BV for taking a very good Wash U into OT.  Especially taking a very good Wash U to OT when it sounds like BV wasn't playing their best game of the year.  Sounds like you will be loaded for bear next season with so many returning.

In case you don't look at the UAA board under "Multi-Regional Topics", I just want to share with you my post there about last night's Wash U BV game.

"Very exciting game at Wash U tonight. Buena Vista is a very good team. Tough man defense, well disciplined yet fast paced offense, poised, confident, well coached. Wash U allowing them only one point in the final 4:30 of the first half could have been the difference in the game. They defended Ruths very well, but he still got 18 points in regulation, none in the OT. Some timely steals and BV having to foul late in the OT sealed the W for the Bears. I've seen a lot of games this season, but maybe only one or two as good as this one. And BV has a lot coming back next year. Wouldn't be surprised to see them advancing in the tournament again. Yet Wash U showed why they are tough to beat. They just keep working and working and get it done."

Just got back from the game and what a tough loss for the beavers.  Beavers were up by as many as 13 in the first half and went dry.  Difference in the game was the turnovers.  Wash U scored 32 points of the turnovers and you can't win with 29 turnovers.  Wagner had another great game with 22 points but his stats are misleading cuz he shot 3 3's in the last 30 secs from deep with none of them falling.  BV had a very good student section at the game and were very loud.  I had a player from Wash U come up to me after the game and ask how far our drive was cuz we brought a lot of people and we were crazy and i think he hit it right on the head.  Tough game for the seniors to go out on because they had great careers.  Future is still very bright with 3 returning starters and Stribe.  Its not four because Franklin and Pearson are both seniors.

tied w/ .8 seconds left... 71-71.................Cleveland hit a three to tie

Beat me to it.  I can't get the audio feed to work so I'm living off these live stats.

Should've gone out to the front page of D3hoops.com, where we had our own audio feed from all four men's sectionals.

[3baller]

that would have been good information to post before the game started

[Pat Coleman]

We did post it before the game started and we've been broadcasting games the entire tournament. You really should visit D3hoops.com and look at it instead of coming straight to the message board. Look at what you missed ...
