Murray State and Evansville are tied at 70 after Evansville misses a free throw with only seconds remaining. JaCobie Wood brings the ball upcourt for Murray State and with a step back three from the top of the key makes the winning three at the buzzer for the 73-70 win.
What is the point? Well this could have been our Flyers winning 50-49 on a shot Friday night at VCU. I could envision Kobi Brea making a three pointer for the game winner! Instead we have Holmes who was having bad luck because his shots just weren't falling on this night going downhill at a player with a 49 1/2 inch vertical leap between him and the basket! You never play for a tie and an overtime on an opponents home floor especially when you trailed the whole game. Odds are not in your favor! Watch the replay. Brea, for one of the few times in the whole game, was wide open at the top of the key! Oh yes and Elvis was likewise open in the corner!
