I managed to catch the last few minutes of the UT Tyler basketball game this past Saturday and wow was it an exciting finish! With us down 82-75 with less than 30-seconds remaining, we nailed a three-pointer to bring the score to 82-78. After a turnover by the other team, we hit another three to narrow the score to 82-81 with 9-seconds left. After a foul and 2 successful free throws by the other team, the fans were wild with anticipation as we had a chance to tie the game and force overtime. Sadly, the ball was stripped on the 3 point attempt essentially bringing the game to an end and silencing the fans. This 30 second span on the game clock had literally taken about 10 minutes. Although what others will see is another loss. The work and effort is not forgotten by the patriot fans.
