Did He Call "Bank"?

"Bracey Wright had made 178 3-point field goals in his Indiana University basketball career before the one he hit in overtime Sunday against Michigan State. The one he banked in from the top of the key."

I nearly jumped through the ceiling when that prayer was answered. Well, they did it. IU proved me wrong. This team is worthy of making the NCAA tournament. Guts, defense, grit, and luck sent this team to victory lane over the Spartans.

But here is why the team won: "Our execution wasn't great but we got the basketball where we needed it to be and that was inside. We didn't just settle for long shots and that's really important." --Mike Davis.

Finally. Finally the team understands this. And because of this, they have a great chance to march into Madison and beat the Badgers.

Said Wright about his shot: "It was just long. I'd rather be lucky than good."

Right now, this team is both. And that's a great combination to have right now.
