Happy Thursday
Hello bloggers.
Outside of Thanksgiving Day, today is one of most popular Thursday's in the entire year as the NCAA Basketball Tournament has started. Do you have brackets finished.
Already, as expected, upsets have taken place as Murray State knocked off Vanderbilt, while Old Dominion has beaten Notre Dame. I'm sure as the night goes on there will be more upsets to talk about. If not, I'm sure some of the higher seeds will find themselves in nail-biters late in the second half.
Last night marked the end of the boys basketball season for The Source as Eisenhower was defeated by De La Salle 49-33 in a regional final contest at Dakota High School.
This game was closer than the final score indicates as Eisenhower struggled to a 15-14 lead at halftime, before falling behind the Pilots 27-19 with two minutes left in the third quarter. The Eagles closed the gap to 27-23 heading into the final quarter, before closing to within a point at 31-30 iwth 5:43 to play.
However, DLS put the game away with a three-point play, followed by two straight three-pointers, coasting the rest of the way.
Eisenhower hurt itself in two areas against the Pilots, committing 25 turnovers and making good on 8-of-13 free throws, while DLS was 11-of-14 from the line. The Pilots did an outstanding job defensively on Eagle center Corey Petros, limiting him to nine points. However, Petros did have 12 rebounds in the game.
The loss ended Eisenhower's season at 18-7 overall. It was a good season, especially after starting the year with three straight losses.
Did you go to the game? If you did, let me know what you thought of the contest and the Eagles' season overall.
Now, it's time to get back to the NCAA Tournament. If you want to compare brackets or talk about specific games, send me your thoughts.
