BG v Hampton 11/19

[mbenecke]

We cut the lead to 3. Laster has 15 points.

[mbenecke]

Lillard steals a pass and gets fouled. He'll go to the line for 2. Makes both! Deficit is at 4 with 5:45 to play.

One of their guys just fouled out and another has 4 fouls. Seems like those are the match-ups we should attack. Either they foul out or they play no defense and we get an easy bucket.

[mbenecke]

Turner gets a bucket and Hampton is forced to call a timeout.

BG is down 72-70 with 5:18 to play, but it seems like we're seizing momentum late in this one.

[mbenecke]

Laster, Turner, Lillard, Plowden, and Wiggins are seemingly closing this game on the floor for us.

Turner tied the game on a driving layup with just over 4 minutes left! 72-all.

Illegal screen on Hampton gives the ball back to BG, and we've reached the Under-4 timeout.

Gotta close this one out with solid defense and smart offense. Take care of the basketball and make free throws down the stretch. This is a game we can win, so we've gotta do it.

[mbenecke]

Turner has 15 second half points, and 19 on the game.

Scratch that - he just made another. 17 and 21.

Falcons up 74-72.

[mbenecke]

BG takes a timeout. We've got one left.

3:09 left, Falcons lead by 2 and BG's got the ball. Also have the possession arrow, if needed.

[mbenecke]

Lillard coughs up the ball, but Hampton's layup ends up pinned between the rim and backboard, so BG gets the ball back.

[mbenecke]

Another Hampton player fouls out while banging down low with Wiggins.

2:13 left, BG is up 74-72, with two Wiggins free throws ahead.

Misses the first...makes the second.

Up 3. Here we go.

[mbenecke]

Hampton steps to the line after a Wiggins foul (his 2nd).

Makes the first on a "lucky" bounce... misses the 2nd. Lillard grabs the rebound.

75-73 lead with the ball.

[mbenecke]

Plowden makes a clutch basket.

77-73, but Hampton is now heading to the line after a Turner foul.

2 shots coming, 1:23 left.

Makes the first... misses the 2nd. Another Lillard rebound.

77-74, 1:15 left with the ball.

[mbenecke]

Lillard makes a nice mid-range jumper with about a minute left.

Hampton responds with a 3.

79-77 with 51 second left, with the ball.

[mbenecke]

Wiggins called for an illegal screen with 31 seconds left.

Hampton has the ball and can likely take the final shot.

[mbenecke]

Tie game.

We have a timeout, but we aren't using it.

Wiggins tips the ball back in at the buzzer and BG wins! I'm sure it's pending review, but it sounds as though it will count.

[mbenecke]

It counts. Game over.

FINAL: BGSU 81, Hampton 79

Gutty win there.

Wiggins tip I’m at the buzzer
