Yesterday afternoon I returned to our old stomping grounds at UCLA to watch my Indiana Hoosiers play the Bruins in a key BIG Ten game. With a ten point lead and less than two minutes ago, this one looked like it was going to send the UCLA fans to the exits early. And yet the Bruins forced overtime. After a tough five minutes, IU forced a second overtime. At the last second of the second overtime, UCLA fouled Hoosier freshman Trent Sisley. He hit one of two free throws, and that ended it, 98-97.
I've been fortunate to see a lot of basketball games. Yesterday's game may have been one of the most intense I've seen. The section I was in had a loud contingent of Indiana fans. The UCLA students didn't really get going until the second half. Through the end of regulation and the two overtimes, it was so loud. What a game!
