Whoa Nelly, MSU

Last night, with the Midwestern State Mustangs playing Central Missouri for a spot in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight, might have been the most exciting basketball game I've seen live.

Sure, I've seen some big names play basketball, including his Airness, Michael Jordan, but when the UCM player missed a point blank shot from about 3 feet out and missed as time expired to seal the victory for MSU, well, it doesn't get much better than that.

Last night had it all.

MSU had the big early lead, then they went cold in the beginning of the second half. The UCM Mules came back on outside shooting and the huge inside presence of Sanijay Watts.

Watts was a monster down low. He got where he wanted to on the court and MSU wasn't slick enough to double team early to get the ball out of his hands.

Then MSU did just enough to hang on.

All of the Mustang basketball players deserve a ton of credit. Those guys used all of their resources last night to win.

I'm not sure what the awaits them in Massachusetts (they play Saint Cloud St. Wednesday at 11 a.m.), but I wish them the best of luck.
