++ CINCINNATI 66 - LOUISVILLE 61. that was the final score after one period of overtime. cincinnati was up by 1 when louisville came down and hit a 3 pointer to go ahead by 2 with 16 seconds left. field williams hit a 2 pointer just inside the 3 point arc with a second left to play to send the game into overtime. cincinnati would in the next 5 minutes of extra time pull ahead and win. mom and dad came down to the game and sat or rather stood in the student section with me and my friends. dad has been to several basketball games, but it was mom's first cincinnati basketball game. at the end of regulation when field hit the shot to tie the game everyone was ecstatic and went nuts, jumping and screaming and high-fiving and yelling and cheering. mom clapped and cheered like everyone else, but after the roar lessened, she turned to me and asked:
"why is everyone so happy?"
"mom! because he hit that shot to send it to overtime!"
"yeah, but we didn't win."
"mom! yeah, but would have lost if he would of missed it."
"i know. i was watching though and i saw when he shot it that his foot was on the line."
"mom!"
"i'm just joking with you! i'm happy he made the basket."
"mom! don't do that to me!" ++
