 Jackets up six,right where they need to be with 7 minutes remaining.

Jackets hangin' around, up by 6 over EMU with around 7 minutes left.  Surprising.

[donho]

 WOW !!! Jackets WIN!

What a fabulous game!!!  R-M beat EMU 82-80. Philips makes 2 free throws with .1 seconds remaining to break the tie!  Unbelievable game.  Congratulations to both teams on a marvelous effort.

82-80 RMC with 0:00 remaining.  Wow.  I didn't figure on that.
Somebody finally made free throws for RMC.
EMU fans:  this kind of thing has happened to other teams in the past.  You can still have a great ending to the season.

Congrats to RMC. I was hoping for an EMU win but this is the best result for the ODAC in terms of getting teams into the NCAA's.

actually it was danny jones. todd phillips committed a foul in the double bonus after an offensive rebound to put jones at the line

 I think the Jackets missed 12 foul shots, with like 6-7 close to the end of the game, hence sludge saying" finally someone makes a foul shot for RMC"

Way to grind it out Jackets!  Stuck with it, and when they needed to have the stops at the end, and the FT's for that matter, they were able to do it...EMU is something else in transition, and even on makes, they get the ball in the frontcourt quick!  That said, the jackets had control of the game after clawing back from down 9 early in the 2nd half, only to relinquish their 6 pt lead and make this a lot more interesting than it needed to be.  We need to sure up the glass, as we gave up a lot 2nd and 3rd chances, and way too many offensive rebounds.

The game was extremely physical, and that plays to the Jackets favor in the paint, they just need to cut down on the fouls and hit the glass hard.  Converting FT's would help too, but again, Danny Jones making 2 to ice it with under a second left, and Eric Pugh made some huge plays down the stretch for this team tonight as well!

Let's finish this tomorrow Jackets and hit the NCAAs on a nice roll!

One word:  SPECTACULAR!!!

The whole Civic Center was rocking tonight and the Jackets came away the victor in one that could have gone either way right up until the last second.

EMU played very well and we're sorry that their awesome season has ended without the tournament crown, but thankful that R-MC still has a shot at it.

Maybe the Jackets are executing some paybacks in Salem... and especially for Jordan Brown and Danny Jones, earning the respect the conference has so far denied them this year!

Way to GO, JACKETS!!!  Your fans are SO proud of you.

Keep it going guys!  GO JACKETS!!!!!

 So as to get two games against everyone I would really like to see Guilford win tonight.

[2RMCFans]

Not having had the chance to see Guilford play this year (remember that snowstorm?) we'd also like to see Guilford win tonight.  

GO JACKETS!!!

[sludge]

Thank you for your support.

[donho]

 Quakers are now pulling away. Nice game.
  Should be a good one tomorrow!! Sorry sludge, it only lasted for about two hours.
  GO JACKETS!!

[sludge]

Wow, solid win for Guilford.  It sounds like it was the perimeter that did it.
