I am ashamed to admit it, but I have not been following the Western Mustang's basketball team all season- until tonight that is. In an edge-of-your-seat CIS Semi-Final game, the Mustangs were unable to stop Carleton Ravens guard Stuart Turnbull, hitting a shot from 12 feet with less than 4 seconds remaining in the game.
With back and forth baskets between both teams in the last three minutes, and with only a three point difference at the most, I was clapping, yelling, and off the couch cheering on my team.
Fifth year Mustang guard Matt Curtis went to the line with two foul shots, hitting both with only 4.1 seconds remaining. Curtis brought the score to 65-64 lead over the Ravens. In my mind, the game was over and the Mustangs were on their way to another victory. Of course there is always that slight possibility that anything can happen, but I refused to let that be an option.
Raven's Turnbull sunk the final shot bringing the final score to 66-65 for the Ravens. I felt so sorry for the players, who along with all their fans, thought they had the win. They put their best foot forward in an exciting and intense game, and should feel proud of the way they played. Congratulations on a great season and making it as far as you did- you represent our school well!
