Gut Punch on Senior Night

More tomorrow, for now just a very disappointing defeat at the Stroh tonight, as BG has become a team that cannot win at home.

Kent was not a good 3FG shooting team, but they were unstoppable from beyond the arc tonight.  Even with that, BG had the ball with 1 minute left and in possession of the ball.  Place is rocking...you just have to feel like BG has a very good shot at winning that game and all kinds of good things flow from that.  Instead, BG turned it over on a crazy, unforced error by two seniors who otherwise played like champions tonight.

Then, you get a gift at the end as Kent misses a 1-1 and then fouls on the rebound, giving BG 2 FTs down 1 with :13 left.  Make those and BG has the lead with one stop between it and victory.  Richaun Holmes strode to the line, only to see the officials go to the monitor and determine that it was Dickerson who was fouled.  He missed both FTs.  Even with that, BG had one more shot left, and down 2 Jehvon Clarke just rimmed out a long 3 that would have given BG the win.

Just an agonizing night with so many chances to win a game.  Crowd was not huge but it was rocking.  Just an absolute gut punch that probably will result in BG playing a game on Monday.

Just a punch right in the gut.
