Upset of the Year?
Good evening! I hope you all are enjoying Thanksgiving break. While football may have stolen the show on Thursday, let's not forget about the other days of the week. We have some games to talk about:
Wild Finish in Orlando
The ending of Kansas vs. Dayton at the ESPN Events Invitational was genuinely not scriptable. I'm still in utter shock that such a shot could fall. What kind of arc did Mustapha Anzil put on that shot? Regardless, the Flyers showed a lot of grit in this game, albeit aided by some poor free throw shooting from the Kansas Jayhawks (9-20). Not to be overlooked is a well-called timeout by Dayton's coach Anthony Grant. After Kansas went on a 12-2 run to go up 73-70, Grant got his team doing what worked: playing more physical ball and working the paint. Dayton drew a tough offensive foul on Kansas' final possession, leading to the prayer that gave them the victory (Seriously, how did that go in?).
In the meantime, I'm currently watching Gonzaga duke it out with the Blue Devils (definitely an unintended pun), and it's been everything you can ask for in a contest between two bluebloods. Duke is certainly giving the Zags far more of a game than UCLA could provide, and I'll be sure to offer my thoughts on the match tomorrow when it's all said and done.
