UWM vs. Boston College- 2nd Half

UWM vs. Boston College Second Half

Welcome back to the UWM/BC game. I hate Elvis, just thought I'd throw that in there.

5:44

Our spectacular announcers come back to give us analysis of the first half and tell us what needs to happen in the second half. This begs the question, what do these guys do during the rest of the season? Are they actual regular announcers, or do they just get called upon for the big stage? I need to know this answer.

5:46

Uh-oh, Milwaukee undefeated when leading at the half, 19-0, are we in trouble? Ed McCants says no as he hits a three to bring the lead to 44-37.

5:50
16:57

At this point, if I was Bruce Pearl, I may just tell my players to let Jared Dudley simply go to the hoop uncontested as he is 12-13 from the charity stripe.

5:51
16:05

I'm not even going to try to explain what just happened. A foul after a three, this time an intentional. Whatever.

5:53
15:52

I am defering this decision to Justin and he says BC wins this period due to their ability to get another technical/intentional foul charged to UWM. It was close, but we're going with the Eagles.

Hey, did you guys here that this year during Spring Break, it's "Sharks Gone Wild"? Wow, television is getting great.

15:52

Reference number 3 to Bruce Pearl formerly being of Boston College. One more, and those of you who took the over are winners.

After another three by UWM, I want to know if Bruce Pearl just rolls out three racks of balls during practice, and says, "Okay, shoot threes, I'll be in my office. Don't leave until you each hit 30 shots". Someone find this out for me. By the way, UWM is up 55-51.

6:02
13:14

What is the record for most free throws attempted by a single player in a single game in NCAA tournament history? Right now Jared Dudley is 13-15 as BC has cut the lead to 55-52.

6:05
11:32

Well, BC has taken the lead at 56-55. UWM will be on the line to shoot 2 free throws. They are 7-7 from the line for the day. This needs to continue for the Panthers to have a chance. Obviously BC wins this period. Hard play and the lead again. Things are starting to get out of hand for the Panthers, so this time-out comes at a great time. Right now the Eagles lead periods 4-3, with 3 to go.

6:14
9:20

Sorry, we are watching people getting seriously injured on Maximum Exposure's countdown of the worst wipeouts of all time. using picture-in-picture. UWM has kept composure here in the last few minutes and are up 7 right now, 65-58. UWM is on a 10-2 run at the moment, playing excellent basketball.

6:19
7:07

UWM was simply outstanding in this period. Up 7, hitting shots they need to hit, and playing the up-tempo, suffocating defense they have become known for. Even though BC is going to the line again, UWM has taken some semblance of control in this game.

6:27
5:44

With 5:44 left in the game, BC is going to shoot 2 free throws for every UWM foul from now on. Since they don't miss many of them, Pearl should shoot the next Panther player to foul someone.

6:31
3:30

Seriously, what was Ed McCants thinking with that shot? How about they try to work the ball around and get a good shot, and then press? Whatever, BC wins that period because UWM didn't put it away, 72-69 UWM, though. I probably won't say anything until after the game, and here's what I think, BC by 2. Garcia doesn't feel good about this either.

I said I wasn't going to post until the end of the game, but it's over. Hello, Sweet 16 for UWM. They played very well down the stretch including the last 9 points of the game. Great work by the Horizon League champions. I am glad I was wrong about my prediction. Well, that's about it. The game's over.

-Until next time...
