Final.

Ashland is living right for sure.  They're not as "absolutely should've lost" today as they were the other day, but then again Rowan was up double digits in the fourth and just couldn't hold it.

No Colin Porter over the last six and a half minutes for Ashland. That's not a good look for Rowan to lose that lead with Ashland's catalyst on the bench.

Credit to Ashland, though.

This team’s will to win is INCREDIBLE!!!

Great game!!  The effort from both teams was unbelievable.  One of those games where you hate to see either team lose.  Ashland is down double digits in the 4th and their point guard fouls out with a lot of time left.  It's awful easy at that point, at least mentally, to justify losing. They kept their composure and focused on what they had to do to win.  Shows a lot of maturity. If overcoming adversity means anything, and I believe it does, this team will be a tough out in Lexington.

I didn’t think the Tomcats were going to win it when they got behind double digits in the 4th with about 5 minutes left and All State guard Colin Porter fouled out. Amazing comeback.

Wow.

I only watched the 4th quarter and the OT but what a show put on by both teams.  Congratulations Ashland!
