MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Good thing for AC Jordan Hancock is there ... all of the 'Roos points in OT so far.

Game tied 68-68. Austin has the ball. Looks like 2.78 seconds left. I don't think it is 27.8.

Austin botches inbounds play. Going to a 2nd OT.

With the pressure totally on Hendrix, they are responding better. Lead in the 2nd OT by 72-68 with 2:09 to play.

1:37 to play. Time out. HC up 72-70 and they have the ball with a full shot clock. Both teams are in the double bonus.

7.14 to play. Hendrix has ball and 2 point lead. Austin just took a rushed 3-pointer that was an air ball that went out of bounds.

6.05 to play. Hendrix made 1 of 2 ft and lead by 3. Austin will have to go the length of the court and hit a 3. Or will Hendrix foul them first?

3.77 to play. Hendrix did foul. First ft good so it's now 2 point lead with one more ft to come. In a timeout at the moment. Have to intentionally try to miss, don't you?

Pretty long afternoon to fill out the brackett!

Ron Boerger · February 20, 2011, 06:11:19 PM

Hancock now with all 11 of AC's OT/OT2 points, will no doubt try to bounce one off the back iron here.

AC is down 75-73, Hancock at the line for one more. The question is, do they miss intentionally since there's 3.77 on the clock and they have no more timeouts?

EDIT: That's exactly what they tried, but Hancock accidentally made the second. 75-74, 3.77 remaining, both teams are out of timeouts.

frank_ezelle · February 20, 2011, 06:13:21 PM

made the ft--3.77 seconds to go--hendrix to inbound with a 1 point lead

frank_ezelle · February 20, 2011, 06:16:22 PM

Hendrix ended up winning by 2, Austin missed a difficult but possible 3-pointer at the end. Have to give credit where credit is due. Hendrix played great in winning their way into the tournament.

The SCAC tournament actually gets played this year at sort of a neutral site with Millsaps losing out based on Hendirx's 2 OT win at Austin.

Will be curious to see what SCAC fans and posters think of the brackets and what team is peaking at the right time.

Hope that Frank will still be taking pictures at the tournament even with no skin in the events.

Probably didn't want to mess with his % -he was perfect @ the line! Seriously, it's actually hard for good foul shooters to miss when they try to do it. Tremendously entertaining game to wrap up the regular season for SCAC followers.

Actually, I've retired from that photo project and haven't taken any photos at Millsaps this year. When all the steps of that project were added together, it turned out to be somewhere between 800-1,000 hours of volunteer work each year. Trying to do that in my spare time, along with other photo projects for friends, family and my own interests, just became too much.

I miss taking the photos, but after 5 years I was totally burned out physically and mentally.

I think it is easier for a good ft shooter to miss when asked. Better able to put the ball where they want.
Congrats to the Warriors on the clinching the 4th seed in the West. Never know how many conference wins it will take to get that last spot. Last year it took 8, this season 5. I think Hendrix has a chance to surprise in the conference tourney.

I'm glad you're still a fan and poster, Frank -- I remember at the time being afraid we were going to lose you here.

Thanks, Pat. I haven't posted as much as in the past, mostly because I hardly go to any Millsaps sporting events. I went to some basketball games and may go to a few baseball games, but have mostly followed the Majors via the internet this year.

Like an alcoholic hanging around a bar, being at the school and especially being around the student-athletes would eventually draw me back into taking the photographs. The need for the photos still exists, the desire to take the photos still exists, but the task is too big for one person and I seem to have an inability to only do the job halfway.

Hopefully there are parents in each sport who are now taking photos and sharing them with all the athletes on that particular team. With so many people now having good digital equipment, that's a better plan for the future rather than hoping to find one person who is willing to do it all.

I noticed that the tournament games on Saturday will be able to be seen via live broadcast from Millsaps. I can't find a video link for Friday's games that are being played at Belhaven. Am I just missing it? Anyone know if there will be a live feed or not? We can't make it to the tournament but was hoping to watch it on the internet.
