On Monday, February 21st, the boys basketball team played Muskingum at home. It was such a crazy game from start to finish! I honestly was not about to attend the game until one of my friends, Hunter asked me last second.
The game started off badly for the Polar Bears, with them getting behind Muskingum by 5 points, sometimes even more, as the game went on the Polar bears would slowly climb back into the game. Number 2 for Muskingum was having an extremely good game, it was like he couldn't miss even if he tried. But luckily for us, 22 on out team was having a game as well, the bigman kept shooting from deep, and kept bullying in the paint.
Eventually, ONU was ahead of Muskingum by seven in the start of the fourth quarter. Musky came back and tied the game by a shot by who else but number 2. The game went to overtime, one 5 minute quarter. In the entire quarter Musky only scored 3 points, for a team that talked an awful lot, they could not score in overtime, the Polar bears stormed by in OT.
Yesterday, ONU's season came to an end, they played #2 in the country, Marietta. It sucks to see the season end, as the games were a lot of fun to attend.
Glad to see some Polar Bears getting after it in tournament play, even if it was just for the first round game! It's always a pretty tall order to even make the playoffs in our conference as it seems we've got some pretty good schools that we're competing with throughout the season.
ReplyDeleteThat is really good that the Bears are playing hard. Its sad to see the games are over but that just means we are getting closer and closer to football season.
