College Basketball

This afternoon I was able to take a break and catch Wabash play Eastern University in their second game of a two-game stand at Catholic University in DC. Eastern deployed a full court press from the start, but Wabash kept it close at the half, 29 to 30. The second half featured a flurry of three-point shots, as Wabash put on an epic finish, hitting a tying three with .5 seconds left on the clock to send it to overtime, 69-69.

Sadly, Eastern pulled away in overtime for a six point win, 82-76, but the Wabash fans gave the players a standing ovation for the entertaining, hard-fought game. Although they didn't win, it was great catching up with some familiar faces, and seeing a fun afternoon of college basketball.
