CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:08:38

Good grief Chase makes just one of two free throws. Tech will have a chance to tie unless Brownell fouls, which he never does.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:09:05

And there it is! Lol Tech hits its fourteenth 3 to tie with 2 secs left. Unbelievable!

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:10:13

2.6 seconds left. Figures this late game would go to overtime!

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:11:52

Ian's long pass is intercepted by Tech. Ugh to overtime we go. I've been saying for years Brownell should foul when they're up 3 with less than 10 seconds left, but he never does, and it's cost them a few times.

TIED 71-71 HEADED TO OVERTIME.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:14:56

Chase makes a pair of free throws to put the Tigers up 2. If he had done that last time, this game would be over!

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:15:11

Ugh alley-oop by Tech ties it again.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:15:47

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:24:56

Good grief Hall misses the first.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:25:51

Hall makes the second to tie the game with 23 seconds left. Best the Tigers can hope for now is double overtime. Figures a 9:00 Tuesday night game would go multiple overtimes! Chase missed a free throw that would have won it in regulation, and now Hall misses a free throw that might have won it in overtime.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:29:15

Tigers get a turnover and will have a chance to win with 2.5 seconds left!

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:33:28

Ugh Hall gets a clean look at a 3 but misses.

TIED 82-82 HEADED TO DOUBLE OVERTIME.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:36:18

Ian gets another offensive board and is fouled! 7 offensive rebounds tonight.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:36:43

Ugh Ian misses both free throws, but Hall gets the rebound. 20 offensive boards for the Tigers!

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:37:30

Ian makes both free throws this time! He has 18 points and Tigers lead by 2.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:38:06

Tigers get a steal!

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:39:05

Good grief refs make a terrible call on a ball out of bounds off Tech. They can't review it because it's not under 2 mins. Clearly the ball was off Tech.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:39:39

Ugh offensive put back ties the game. Refs owe Tigers a makeup call.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:40:08

Chase makes a pair of free throws. Tigers lead by 2 again with 3 mins left.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:41:20

Tech makes a free throw to cut the lead to one.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:41:51

Ugh Hall misses and Tech makes a layup to go up one.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:42:42

Ugh Girard misses a 3.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:44:38

Ugh Tech freshman who hit the 3 to send it to overtime makes a turnaround jumper. Tigers trail by 3.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:44:48

Chase cuts the lead to one.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:46:08

Good grief the freshman makes a 3 to put Tech up 4 with under a minute left. He's having the game of his life with a career high.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:47:29

Tigers catch a break, and the refs said his toe was on the line upon review. Tigers trail by 3 with the ball.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:48:00

Ugh Hall gets blocked and the jump ball goes to Tech.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:49:04

Tigers get a stop and have the ball down 3 with 12.5 seconds left. Let's see if the new Tech coach fouls like I said Brownell should have at the end of regulation.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:50:40

Ugh Hall gets a good look at a 3 to tie but misses. Tech fouls on the rebound. Tigers have 4.8 seconds.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:52:39

Ian makes both free throws to cut the lead to one with 4.8 seconds left. Tigers need a steal or a foul right away.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:54:11

Ugh they have to foul Sturdivant. He's automatic at the line.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:55:35

Sturdivant makes the first. He'll have a chance to put Tech up 3 with 4.4 seconds left.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:57:16

Sturdivant makes both. I would foul if I'm Tech.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 22:58:19

Ugh Hall gets another good look for a 3 to tie but misses.

TIGERS LOSE 93-90 IN DOUBLE OVERTIME.

CUTrevor 2024-01-16 23:01:23

Such a weird game! Tigers never trailed in the 2nd half and led by 8 with 1:30 left, but the story was 3-pointers. Tech made 15 of them, including the one to send it to overtime with 2 seconds left. Hall scored a career-high 31 points but missed a free throw that would have won it in the first overtime and missed two 3-pointers that would have tied it in the 2nd overtime. The Tigers had 22 offensive rebounds but were just 3-21 from the arc! That's why they lost to UNC, and that's why they lost tonight.

Tigers should be 14-3. Instead, they are 12-5 and 2-4 in ACC play. This one stings!
