Buzzer Beaters

Since Lynn and I have been getting up around 6 to get her off to Portsmouth these past couple weeks, our nights have been ending earlier. We usually start winding down around 9:30, and nearly every night one of us ends up falling asleep on the couch. Unfortunately last night was one of those nights, and Lynn and I both fell asleep during halftime of the UNC - FSU game, which we both thought Carolina was running away with. Apparently FSU fought back after being down at the half, and it took some last second heroics from Lawson on a mid-sprint floater from three point range to get the W. Unbelievable. Hopefully we'll be seeing a picture like this one again in April?

Lawson's buzzer beater was only one of two amazing finishes last night in the ACC though, with Wake pulling off the upset of #1 Duke on a pretty in-bounds play that left four Duke players standing around wondering what just happened. I mention this game for my dad who teaches in the MBA program at Wake and is a big Deac fan.

Well, hopefully everyone was able to catch these exciting ACC finishes or see the highlights from Wednesday night. It was definitely a great night for College Basketball... or at least Wake & Carolina fans. I'm pretty sure Lynn and I will be pushing our bed time back from now on as well.
