Freedom Massive Come Back To Take Title

Midway of the third quarter it looked as if the Big East was going to win another basketball title and Hunt their first ever state basketball title but it was not to be.  Freedom hits a jumper with 3.8 seconds to play to come by from 13 down to win the crown.

The first half was back and forth but Hunt came out from the half leading 30-29 made their move in the third quarter extending their lead to 47-34 .  From that point on the come back was on an a state title was heading to Morganton.

Chapel Hill girls won the 3-A title winning 69-56 over Hickory.

Coach K and Duke will play for the ACC title against Virginia Sunday afternoon.  There have been years when the winner was the only team making the NCAA tournament.  Sunday both the Devils and Cavs just might be playing for a number one seed.  Both will  probably be no worse than a two so not being a number one is not life threathing.  How bout those new kids on the block.  Pitt, Syracuse and Notre Dame were a combined 1-3 this week in the tournament.

How bout those Eagles of NC Central.  They win the MEAC and will be in the big dance for the first time ever. You know there always seems to be games that the tournament committee always try to set up.  I wonder if they might set up Duke and Central in the 2nd round in Raleigh

Those of us in this area have had a choice this week in watching the ACC tournament. ESPN with Dick Vitale or the ACC network with some of the games being done by the G-Man Mike Giminski.  Spending 14 years or so in the NBA  G-Man to me is the best color man in college basketball these days.  Even though he is a Dukie you would never know it in the games he covers including the State
Duke game today.

Today Benton Moss pitched into the 8th inning for Carolina but got a no decision.  It was 2-2 when he left.  Saturday night in Tallahassee NC State baseball and Florida State met and Carlos Rodon went up against Jameis Winston.  Tonight how ever Rodon was the DH for the Pack and Winston struck out 7 of 9 Pack batters pitching in relief including Rodon who had three hits in the game.

Sunday night at six every one will see the brackets for the first time and the chance at the perfect bracket and the billion dollar prize .  I will settle for a local level bracket buster.
