girls bball team breaks four-year losing streak in 2OT ... playing 3 on 5

[mr006]

Wow... I once saw a JV game where they were down late in the game playing 4 on 5 and pulled out the win (pre-3 ptr, btw)... but this? I'd jump off the bench too...

This is a wild story.

Here's a link to a local tv news report. There is a very small snippet about 3/4 through where you can see the end of the game. I wish they showed more of that.

No Field Goals made by the winners in either OT but were 12 for 17 from the FT Line.
If there is a will there is a way.

From the linked article - "Believe it or not, the Knights pulled it off again, setting up in a 1-1-1 defensive zone that stretched from the paint to the three point arc and connecting on their own free throws to eventually emerge with a four point victory."

I thought that comment fit nicely with the FTs are/are not important thread.

But I thought that you had to shoot 75% for your shooting to be acceptable, let alone important. 12 of 17 doesn't make the cut. And I thought the discussion was about how important the FT% is compared to like 16 other items of perhaps greater impact.

Why would a team keep fouling a squad with only three players? Doesn't sound like the bulbs were turned on too brightly here.

Climax vs Fertile ??? It sounds like something "The Onion" would report on.

The winning three players:
"Love had played a few minutes of varsity basketball, Cakebread had no varsity experience, and Vasek is three games into her first year starting on varsity."

Cannot make this stuff up...

That was awesome. Congrats to Climax-Fisher girls basketball team. Can you imagine the confidence that they have now. Knowing that they won with just three players!?

Well I hope they punish the Climax coach appropriately. Think how badly they made the Bagley girls feel. Not only were they the first team in 4 years to lose to them, they had a 5-3 advantage. You just can't go around making other teams feel like that.

Why not...we do it all the time!
