15 SEED BELMONT BRUINS MAKING A RUN AT 2 SEED DUKE BLUE DEVILS

Update [2008-3-20 23:0:11 by Joel]: It's over. Belmont made one key mistake, turning the ball over on an in-bounds play, and still had a chance from half-court. They just missed the upset of the Tourney.

There's about 12:00 left, and Belmont's only down four.

What hustle!
What was that, four o-rebounds in a row?
Go Vols!

Renfro

Go Vols!

Duke calls timeout with a minute remaining
And down by one. Surely they'll have a play for a basket. Two or three points, then it will be up to Belmont. Rick Byrd is a fantastic coach, and he should be able to get an opportunity for Renfroe or one of his three-point guys.

Can they hit it?

Go Vols!

Duke misses!
Byrd calls time out. Up by one. Will they tighten up?
Go Vols!

Do they go for 3 now?
A two-score lead and a potential nail in the coffin?

by Hooper on Mar 20, 2008 9:14 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Whose ball?
Ah. Last play. Down by one. Drive Refroe, kick out for three.
Go Vols!

by Joel on Mar 20, 2008 9:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

One shot.
Can you do it?

by Hooper on Mar 20, 2008 9:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Oh!
That's awful. Bad TO on the in-bound.
Go Vols!

by Joel on Mar 20, 2008 9:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

They had all 5 Dukies
in tight on the inbounds.  A direct pass beyond the arc would have been open.

by Hooper on Mar 20, 2008 9:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Still a chance
Need a three. They can do it.
Go Vols!

by Joel on Mar 20, 2008 9:20 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I say a 3
more room. Score not an issue, but time and room is.
Go Vols!

Could drive
and get a foul, though, too, so ignore me.
Go Vols!

by Joel on Mar 20, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree
It's also in their comfort zone.

by Hooper on Mar 20, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh darn.
Such a great effort, though.

Aww
Bummer. Right there. Congrats to Belmont and Rick Byrd. Fantastic game. I've known about Byrd since I went there. Vince Gill has a celebrity basketball game and concert for charity, and I was the student leader for the thing in 1995. On a committee with Byrd. The man is fantastic. This was not a fluke. It's only a matter of time before they starting making a very loud noise.
Go Vols!

Here's hoping UT gets a chance to meet him. ;)
But that was a great effort.  I wish he could have pulled it off.  They ran with Duke and gave them a real game.  H/T to them, for sure.
