Noah splashes a late 3, just before the half to regain the lead for the Black Bears. He's got 19 to lead all scorers. Tilley is trying to keep pace with 15 for Evangel. Doerr sat a big chunk of the 2Q with three fouls after scoring 10.

Harlan County 32 Evangel Christian 30

Halftime.

[16thBBall Fan]

Noah and Huff have 28 of Harlan County's 32 and Tilley and Doerr have 25 of Evangel Christian's 30. It should be good and entertaining 2nd half. I just wished the winner of this one and Lyon Co. played tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 or 3:00pm with both teams rested. 

[LouHSJunkie]

I still like Evangel to advance as I picked when tournament started. I think officiating leaned in Harlan County favor in first half and that does worry me some.

[DevilMayCare]

Noah buries his third 3, followed by a bucket from Huff.

Doerr scores at the other end.

37-32 Harlan 

6:35 3Q

Harlan Co. leads 39-35 with 5:14 left in the 3rd quarter.

Tilley drills a 3 to pull Evangel within four.

39-35 Harlan

5:14 3Q 

[DevilMayCare]

Suddenly, no one can buy a bucket. We're closing in on 4:00 minutes without a point for either team.

Doerr picks up his fourth foul. Potentially huge development there.

Media Timeout. 

39-35 Harlan County 

2:13 3Q 

[16thBBall Fan]

Still 39-35 at the under 3 media timeout for the 3rd quarter. Neither team is shooting the ball well today. Harlan is 12-38 32% and 4-20 from 3 for 20% and Evangel Christian is only 12-36 33% and 4-16 from 3 for 25%.

End of 3Q 

Harlan County 43

Evangel Christian 35

 

Harlan milked the clock and got a baseline bucket from Cottrell before the horn.

[16thBBall Fan]

Harlan Co. leads 43-35 end of the 3rd quarter. Doerr is going to have to not commit another foul and play the whole 4th quarter for Evangel Christian to have a shot I think.

[DevilMayCare]

Doerr steals and flushes for 2. Big sequence their for Evangel.
