3rd game of the MAC Tournament

Buffalo versus CMU.

Four minutes before the half. This looks like this might be a blow out. The score is CMU 35 and Buffalo is 17.

Three minutes into the second half and it is already 46 to 23 CMU. Yikes.

There is another game to go. It was suppose to start at 7, but it is only the start of the second half of this game and the it is already 7:20. Then after the fourth game, there is a meeting at the Winking Lizard for the MAC News Media Association. It is going to be a late night.

Dave just told me that we will probably go to the bar before the last game. He is the president of the association and needs to be there for any media that shows up.

Only five minutes of the game has passed, but it seems like a long time. The score is now 57-30, yep CMU. Buffalo fans are irate at the calls the referees are making.

More than 11 minutes and it is dragging. 59-34.
64-43 - struggling to stay awake.
71-52 - been checking other blogs. (Note, that Kari doesn't have me listed in her list of blogs she enjoys. Hope it is just a mistake. lol)
73-59 - 2:32 left. Oh, please, refs don't call the ticky-tac foul calls.

Of special interest: Mindy, I am sitting next to a "Luke". He said thanks for naming the baby after him.

74-64 - 1:45 left. Buffalo coming back, but only because CMU has been playing their bench players. I really don't think they can come back.

But wait: It looks like CMU has their starters back in. 74-67
75-67 - Buffalo at the freethrow line, missed one, made the second. 75-68
Now CMU at the freethrow line....missed one, made the second 76-68
30 seconds left. Can Buffalo win or tie? Buffalo at the freethrow line again..missed the first, made the second.
Geesh another foul. CMU at the line, made the first, made the second.
With 18.6 seconds, 78-71, not sure how Buffalo got 69, but then they made two more freethrows.
Two more CMU freethrows, 80-71, and then a Buffalo 3-pointer, but the final score is 80-74.

Well, I won't be posting about the games until tomorrow. Hope this is entertaining. It is keeping me occupied.
