WOW!!! What a game. Eastern led the first three quarters and seemed to be in control. But PRP turned up the pressure and forced Eastern into making turnovers as PRP came back in the 4th quarter to take a 5 point lead. PRP was up 4 with 45 seconds left until Buckner hit a 3 to pull the Eagles within 1. With 9 seconds left PRP makes one of two freethrows to go up 2. But with 4 seconds left Buckner hits a three and gets fouled by PRP's Decker and makes the freethrow to go up 2. PRP's Vincent Crutcher's jumper missed and an open putback by one of the Panthers misses as time ran out. Eastern's Robert Buckner gets MVP honors.

Eastern is now the favorite in the 7th. Good win for the Eagles and the Panthers shouldnt be ashamed either.

Louisville Eastern: 2nd place 5/3 Classic, 1st place LIT

 

A very good ballclub. Every other team in the 7th better hope they don't draw the Eagles.

 

Congrats on a great Tourney!

LIT Championship has been the kiss of death for 7th region teams recently. Will the trend continue???
