    I think the three days wore Gary out! It's fine, he has 10-11 days to recover.

        Tough for KB to get a word in. I wonder what he thought they were going to take a look at, the clock?

          I kind of chuckled at that, too. Rima wouldn't allow any doubt to chime in.

          I'm not sure what KB thought either. All the replays show that Higgins very adamantly counted that bucket the second it went in.
          "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

            I wonder if he thought they might but a tenth or two on the clock.

              That's what I thought they were checking too. It wasn't close, but it was worth checking considering what was on the line.

                Yeah, that was pretty funny. Not sure I've heard Gary so excited.

                  I believe they wanted to check to make sure the bounce didn't hit the shot clock rendering the shot no good.

                    Huh. I'm pretty sure SIU got one off the shot clock.

                      Gary's call made Sports Center as well. "Great call....GREAT call." My friend and I were dying laughing when poor KB tried to get in the way of Gary's exuberance!

                      I figured they checked to make sure it didn't bounce over the backboard.

                        It's almost like Gary heard KB start to say something that might change the outcome, maybe, and decided "NOT TODAY" and just ripped his mic cord out of the system. KB was just gone after that one sentence.

                          Was SIU the 3 ball that went off the shot clock? Was not too happy about that non call

                            Does anyone have a link to the pre game video with Dream On playing?

                              That is correct.
