North Carolina Tar Heels Research Paper

“Bang,” yelled the crowd in unison. We fed off the cheering and screaming home crowd. We used their cheers as our energy. We kept on going. From somewhere in the crowd, I heard someone yell, “come on guys, you’re only down one now.” A harsh realization dawned on me. For all of the glory in the three pointer we just made, we were still losing, and we only had 11 seconds to change that. Inbound, foul; within seconds, their team was at the free throw line shooting two free throws. “The first free throw is…good.” A hush fell over the home crowd. Everyone knew what that meant. It meant that now, the only way to win the game is by the means of another three pointer, and that is only if he misses this next shot. If not, our only chance is to tie the game with a three

"Today we ran into a great team," VCU coach Will Wade said. "Unbelievable performance by Hield there down the stretch. Every time they needed a big basket, he answered the bell. He's just a phenomenal player. Best player I've seen in college basketball. So I'm proud of our guys. We just didn't quite have enough."

At this point, the wheels came off of the Panthers wagon and GSU scored 16 unanswered points. GSU got things going and the momentum changed in their favor. Kincade connected with Chad Williams on a 13 yard passed to make the score 16-7 with PAT by Jonathon Wallace with 2:42 in the first quarter. At this point, both teams were going back and forth. Several turnovers occurred. Until, Kincade and GSU got their groove on with an 11 yard run for pay dirt. Jonathon Wallace successfully completed the PAT to make the score 16-14 in favor of PVAMU at the 10:39 in the second quarter. GSU would score again before the half when PVAMU’s Lorin Winston couldn’t handle a high snap and push the ball out of the back of the end zone for a safety. That tied the score at 16-16 all with 2:00 minutes left in the half.

Illinois players with the fancy navy blue jersey with orange pants started to get the crowd pumped as they were lining up for kickoff. The game was over at the start, during kickoff the kick returner was shaking and dropped the ball and was leveled by Illinois players. Following the drop ball, Murray State went three and out and punted the ball. The Illinois punt returner got great yardage and soon after the offense scored.

In 2016, more than ever, the team was committed to and had one goal of winning. One of our biggest rivals was St. John’s College High School (SJCHS). My doubles partner and I played the last match of the WCAC championships against SJCHS. During the season, SJCHS was one of the hardest competitors we faced but walking onto the court on the final day of championships, my partner and I knew we would fight and win. After 45 minutes, I hit an ace and we won the match that put us in the lead to win the championships. October 30, 2016 was the single most exciting and overwhelming day for the team all season. Everyone’s hard work paid off.

Going into that game we had convinced ourselves that we had already lost before it even started. We were about as flat as a tabletop. While warming up we were pretty much just waiting for the game to end, so that we could just leave and just call it a year!” Once the game actually started something just clicked. We

I had attended the basketball game and it was okay. The UWA Women basketball players reigned victory in the game. The game was almost a tie because both teams were trying their best to score points. The Mississippi College is a fierce team, and their determination and confidence motivated them to come closer to victory. Our team also shared the same attributes as well as the opposing team. This was the first sporting event that I have attended since I been here. I know that I should be a little more outgoing, but I am stuck in timid mode. The game would be a little more interesting if I had friends to see it with. I still found this event as a great experience for me. I am interested in various types

With the season on the line, the seniors team had to win against St. Francis Xavier. Down by two baskets at the end of

During the timeout Coach James hollered,” Mudiay! Drain the clock, then pull up. LeRoyal hasn’t been able to guard you the whole second half he won’t be able to guard you now.” As the timeout ended, Mudiay ran the out of bounds play and got the ball. Mudiay glanced up to the scoreboard with just under nine seconds left. Mudiay called a screen to his left and drove to the right hoping to trick LeRoyal, but he was on Mudiay tight. With three seconds left Mudiay stepped back and launched a deep bomb. Holding his follow through, Mudiay knew he had hit the shot. His team had won the state championship

Enter Bronson Koenig, a junior guard whose three-pointer tied the game with 13 seconds left. After Wisconsin guard Zak Showalter drew a charge on Xavier’s Edmond Sumner on the ensuing possession, Wisconsin coach Greg Gard called a timeout to set up the final play with two seconds showing on the clock. According to Gard, the Badgers executed the play exactly how he had drawn it up. Koenig received the inbounds pass from Ethan Happ and nailed a game-winning, step-back three as time expired. As the Badgers celebrated another trip to the Sweet 16, things got even more interesting between Northern Iowa and Texas A&M.

Throughout the hallways of the Xcel, all I could hear was people cheering for us. Not only were the students of East High happy to have won, but over 75 percent of the people attending the game were as well. As we finally made it out of the Xcel, I knew this was a moment I would remember for the rest of my

As a student of the University of Mississippi, I get free admission to all home sporting events, football being the only exclusion. One Friday afternoon, I had to stay on campus to watch a play instead of going home, so to pass the time between getting out of class at 12:00 and the play at 7:30, I decided to go to the home opener in the Tad Pad. I had never attended any basketball games other than church league so I was unsure of what to expect. I am not a big basketball fan, but the friend that I went with is and helped commentate me through the game. I had heard a ton of hype around our star, Stephan Moody, and had seen him on TV. I was expecting to see the type of domination that ESPN depicted in its highlights of Moody. I was a little

Missouri came out of the locker room determined to close the gap though, preventing the UF from walking away with a blowout win. Sophomore point guard Chris Chiozza, after contributing to seven assists, 5 points, and four rebounds in the first half, increased the Gators’ lead back to 18 points with 19:39 to go. In the next three minutes, he continued his hot streak with another three point basket, and a layup. However as the team continued to stretch their lead, Florida seemed to get overly confident. Missouri went forth and closed the original 21 point gap to only 10 points with three minutes to go - giving the Tigers a real shot of turning the lead around. With a slam-dunk from Finney-Smith though, the Gators exerted their authority on the court, permanently solidifying their lead. The Gators went on to win the game 82-72.

After half time the game turned around and the momentum is going their way. I hit a turnaround jumper to tie the game and the only way to get the ball back is to foul but their point guard gets loose and she hits a deep three. As we inbound the ball the defender steals it and makes a layup. By now there is only like eight seconds left and we have to get a shot off fast. Danielle, the other point guard on our team comes down shoots a three and it misses. That is it, game over. The final score was
