Northern Kentucky 99 Wright State 97 (OT)

[MJAlltheWay24]

NKU wins in OT in the Horizon League tournament. They were the 5 seed facing the 4.

The "foul when you're up 3 late crowd" won't like to see how this game went to OT. Wright State fouled up 3 with 4.4 left. NKU gets the rebound after missing the second FT and puts it back in to tie it up at the end of regulation.

I don't think Wright State meant to foul there.  The NKU player was in the lane shooting a 2 with 5 seconds left.  A mistake by both players in my opinion.  The 2nd-shot-miss rarely works but the shooter (Trey Robinson) executed it perfectly.  A tough loss for Wright State.

Whether intentional or not, doesn't change that its an example of a team, close to home, fouling when a team is up 3 with seconds to play and it costing them the game. Thought it was worth mentioning considering some of the discussion this bball season.
