Southern Utah @ Oakland

By Brian

It’s 33 -32, SUU at the half.  Yes, it’s fair to ask where OU’s up-tempo offense is.

It’s now 39 – 37, Oakland.  I’m semi-live blogging while listening online to WXOU.

The Thunderbirds are now up, 40 – 39.  One blogger is not happy.

72 – 63 and SUU grabs another rebound. 

Timeout with the score tied at 46 each.  13 minutes left to play. 

50 – 46, for SUU.  Uh, the T-Birds are 1 – 7.   Hello, Grizzlies.

Any sign of OU’s big men? 

55 – 53, Golden Grizzlies.  It’s all Derick Nelson and Erik Kangas tonight.

62 – 57, SUU.  Time to panic.

The boys on ‘XOU make a good point.  If OU is bigger than SUU, why not just pound the ball into the post?  Oh, that’s right.  The Grizzlies play up-tempo offense, not half-court.  (Losing brings about sarcasm.)

T-Birds now up seven points.  This would be a terrible loss.  Play some defense, Grizzlies.  Grab a rebound, as well.

Only six and a half minutes left.  Still SUU dominating the boards.

Now, it’s an eleven point lead.

70 – 61, T-Birds.  Kangas is about to shoot free throws.  No sign of the Grizzlies up-tempo offense or anyone able to rebound for OU.

4:30 left, the Grizzlies trail by seven.

Oakland cannot play half-court offense tonight.  They are standing around waiting for three point shots.

2:47 left with SUU up 70 – 63. 

72 – 63, T-Birds. The fans are leaving.  Shane Lawal fouls out. 

75- 63, SUU.

75 – 68, Southern Utah is going to the line.

77 – 68, JJ turns the ball over and fouls the T-Birds’ player. 

79 – 68, it’s all but over.  Awful.  Just awful.

80 – 73 with thirty seconds left. 

8.5 seconds remain.  It’s still 80 – 73.

Clock problems have delayed in the inevitable.

82 – 73, Southern Utah beats Oakland.  A shameful performance on your home floor.  Disappointment and disgust now, perhaps links to recaps later.
