Miracle finish

Did I just see, what I just saw?

I just watched about three seconds of the North Carolina State and Florida basketball game. That was more than enough. A missed foul shot followed by a 70 foot shot sent the Pack faithful home disappointed and shocked. I have watched a lot of basketball in my day but I don't know if I have ever seen anything quite like that.
N.C. State Coach Sidney Lowe looked like he had seen a ghost as the ball stripped through the net. Seeing that ghost is almost as likely as one of those shots going in. It is a worthwhile venture to look up the end of the game on You Tube or somewhere else.
Today is another example that things are not well in Wolfpack land. The football bowl season has come and gone with no appearance of the Pack. Basketball appears to be another year of being sandwiched between better teams in Durham and Chapel Hill. Another tiresome appearance in the NIT may be on the horizon.
So now we have hockey at Fenway, ECU missing three field goals in a matter of minutes to lose the Liberty Bowl and this miraculous finish, and 2010 is only three days old. Makes you want to get up tommorow to see what is next. This is the best place on the web to get the next headline.

  1. Yet another reason to hate the Gators. That's the luckiest shot any player could hope to make.
