It then was 10-1. Of course, 5 of 'em were as a result of the acorn not falling far from the tree. Opponents sink 4 of 6 to tie the score. Not much happens the rest of the half and it is a 2 point game at the break.

2nd half was back & forth then the home team [the higher seed] took a 3 point lead with about 12 seconds left. Visitors then asked for a time out with about 6 seconds left at mid-court. They got the ball inbounds and a return pass to the inbounder goes for a good 3 from the deep corner at the horn.

In the OT, it appeared that home was in control, winding down the clock, then a steal and a kid gets fouled and makes the 3 point play to put visitors up by 1 with 9 seconds left in OT. Home gets it across mid-court and gets a timeout with 4 seconds left. No pressure on the inbounder so they get it in and a return pass to the inbounder, who heaves up a 3 from 8 ft beyond the arc with a second left. Good basket and higher seed advances with a 2 point win at the horn.

WOw, sounds like a great game! Too bad the visitors lost, a good lesson could have been taught!
