...in real-time, it was actually only my 2nd college basketball game that I have attended
I went to see Navy play Bucknell in the Patriot League quarterfinal last night, wow, what a game, the 1st triple-overtime game in league history, unfortunately, Navy lost on a last second 3-pointer. What started out as a blowout quickly unraveled, Navy was up by almost 20 at the half, but Bucknell stormed back, which I attribute to Navy settling for jacking up 3-pointers. What stuck out in my mind most of the game was the fact that both teams seemed afraid of attacking the lane, for instance, the Bucknell guard would dish it to the C, dude would dribble for a bit, go towards the basket, only to pull up and kick it back outside, it was pathetic, and everyone on Bucknell kept picking their dribble up early on, but they made the adjustments that they needed to, they attacked the paint while Navy settled for 3 pointers, and that's why they won
but a great experience nonetheless
