Your roster is incredible! I just played one of the best basketball games in a long time. Early in my Ohio State legacy, I traveled to the Utep Minors for my first road game of the season.

It was a back and forth game in the first half. Both teams hitting shots and hitting the wide open looks. I started to feed it to Sullinger early and then when he was doubled in the post kicked it out to Lighty who was on fire this game. He ended up 33 points.

Lets fast forward to the final minutes of the second half. It was crazy. I found myself down 8 points with just under 3 minutes to go. I got a couple key stops and Lighty hit 2 huge 3s to put me within 2 points. NOW THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SCENE IN A VIDEOGAME BEFORE! I gotta key stop with 25 ticks left and called a timeout. The CPU fouled me with 10 seconds to go to force me to hit a couple clutch free throws!! I have never scene that before. Buford hit the tying freebies and I bullied them in overtime to win by a final score of 81-73.

It was a freaking great game of hoops! Like I said earlier it was my first road game and the atmosphere on the road was amazing. The crowd was in the game the entire time and the momentum swings about drove me nuts!!!

Sullinger finished with 18 and 10. Here are some stats for ya!
