Vermont, the heavy underdog, beat the Syracuse Orangemen men today 60-57, in overtime. This is the biggest moment in Vermont sports history.
Taylor Coppenrath played a great game, never bwoing into the pressure. TJ Sorrentine, though cold in the first half, hit a 3 from HALFCOURT to put Vermont ahead in the closing minutes. Neither of the stars were the players of the game though.
A certain 6'4" Cameroon native stepped up his game. A certain player told that he would be slaughtered by Hakim Warrick Stepped up his game. That players name?
Germain
Mopa
Njila
Germain hit shots from every, having a double double, while scoring 20 points, his career high. He also managed a steal that gave Vermont an edge in regulation, and what would have been a game winner, had his foot not touched the line. Vermont is single-handedly the biggest upset of the tourny as of yet. The game of the tourny.
Makes my bracket look pretty darn good so far since I had Vermont making the Sweet 16 after beating Old Dominion after they beat Michigan State. (And my friends called me nuts for betting against Syracuse. )
Unfortunately, they will then get beat by Duke because those lucky ****s will probably hit a lucky shot against them.

Yeah, its basketball. They are talking about THE largest college basketball tourny there is. 64 teams, there are seeds. 4 different sections with 16 different seeds. Seed 1 vs seed 16 ect. ect. Its single elimination, so if you lose, you are out.
Yeah, Bucknell is big, I didn't want to see it happen, due to my Kansan ties, but so be it.
To give you an idea of how biog this was, Our paper today feaatured about 20 articles about the game. While they all repeated themselves, probably everyone in the state read every single one of them.
Nest up is Michigan State, who doesn't impress at all. They've got the Davis kid who doesn't work hard, Coppenrath will beat him up in the paint. WHo knows, Mopa Njila might break out again.
I didn't see the end of this game, but all the other media people in the backstage "television compound" going nuts woke me up from the nap I was trying to take during halftime of the KU game (I was in OKC at the Ford Center covering the tournament).
Speaking of the KU game...yeah. I, like everyone else in the world, figured they'd breeze through them. I really wanted to stay in Oklahoma City a bit longer since we didn't have any games today to cover we'd just put a couple packages together real fast and then hit the bars. Oh well.
