Found an article about this game and thought I would highlight a few points...


"In the second overtime, South senior Brian Marvie came to the line with his team trailing, 58-55, with 45 seconds left. Marvie made the first foul shot and missed the second, but classmate Elijah Hughes was there to get the rebound. He missed a jumper and senior Jinazean Ball missed the put-back and Murphy came down with the rebound and drew a foul — much to the chagrin of the South bench, which thought Hughes and Ball were fouled moments before."


Hmmmm... missing foul shots as well as missing second and third chance put backs. How many more of these misses were there during the game...


"Baldarelli stole a pass to end the game and start the celebration. "

Those damn refs should have never let that pass get stolen....

"After Holy Name’s Drew Rolfe missed two foul shots at the other end, South tried to get the ball to Ball, who drove the lane, but was blocked by Emil Igwenagu with 5.2 seconds left. The Naps found Igwenagu open for a jumper, but it hit the rim to force the second overtime."

Those refs should have made that ball go in. How dare they...

"Ball finished with 20 points, but made just 8 of 30 shots."

8 out of 30???? Looks like the refs played good defense...


But for you conspiracy theorists maybe you can find something in this quote....

"The win gives the Naps a 3-1 edge in the season series. Holy Name defeated South at the IAABO Tournament in the Colonels’ season-opener, 71-51, and then again at home, 61-58. In between South won at home, 63-56. It was the Colonels’ second consecutive double-overtime game, as South defeated St. John’s, 79-75, last Thursday."

Hmmm.... the Naps always beat south at home.....
