Full ending to Creighton vs. Oregon 2OT thriller

It will be Evans in the 27.4 inning with the shot clock off, they get Dante, that's what they wanted and Dana Alman knows it, yeah, you have to get it into Kenard in that situation or rsby one of those two guys, you get him in a guy who's shooting 60% from the free throw line in Thursday's win over South Carolina Dante was 9 of 15 from the line here's Dana Alman's reaction yeah I mean it's not a smart play but they had a freshman knocking the ball out of bounds, Bamey Evans. a good player, but he's a freshman and you know they tend to panic and as soon as you saw someone open, he took Oregon's first free throw attempt of the night, it's a one and one.

Dante misses C brener, the rebound, now these guys got to take it to the basket, but they are one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country. Ashworth passes Shyan Shan, jumps back. We are tied, we have plenty of time. Gu Kad has to go to the basket and get to the foul line. but he had to leave with 4 seconds left kard kard drives don't put it right and for the second time tonight in Pittsburgh we're going to overtime what a great shot by Baylor Shyan I just thought Oregon took too long there they didn't have enough time for a rebound.

Kard had a chance, but it was Shyan, the third team AllAmerican who stepped back and put five more on the clock. Oregon 62 Kraton 62 and this is a look at the Ducks' final possession. Well, Kar did the right thing but it was too late, there's no time for a second shot, that shot wouldn't have been good if it had been turned over the last time a view had two games, both were going to overtime, you have to go back to 1997, the sweet 16 in San Antonio, but here in Pittsburg, catch our second straight overtime game tonight. NC State prevailed in overtime against Oakland and now Oregon and Kraton go to overtime.

We're after midnight, let me see after midnight in the East, looking at foul trouble, not much to do? talking about Evans has three for the Ducks and Shyan has three for crat kraton 1 and two in overtime Oregon 1 and 0 how good is this, it's incredible and there is still no helmet, so the right knee is still a problem for him freshman, it's rsby start overtime Kard Runner yes 29 for Kard, he's been attacking that area the entire second half and still no one since halftime other than Kard and Dante has scored for the Ducks 30 points in a row for those two.

That is incredible. You know, Kraton has three big ones and me. I guess the big two in Oregon are the same as the big three. Here's Kard running right to the hoop. Co Brener says no, but to Dante. Great save by Rigsby. Shot clock at four. Dante on Cul Brener and Shyan the rebound. Shyan running. He has a lot of legs here. in overtime, Oregon did a good job of matching it, oh curl shyan, mid way down and out, and Evans throws it in for the Ducks, came off that screen hard looking to sack Kard using a clock, what a game , seven ties, 11 lead changes, Kard caught trying to find.

Dante and Alexander gave him a hand, yes, Dante had the smaller guy on top, they forced him. Alexander slides a good defense here next to the ducks, three minutes left not to look for C, ready to give him a touch. Alexander with five in. the paint to Ashworth deep three good Ashworth lets it fly 14 for the Utah State transfer and the Blue Jays up by one and Oregon is in no hurry right now, but you know what they're going to do, but now there's a high CK rener , look at the Hedge, they're going to catch him there, Dante has him and a foul is called against Ashworth, who at the other end of the court let him fly from Deep, yes, but look at rsby, Rigby moves away from him, he has to do it.

I really have to respect the fact that these guys can shoot threes, no one is really close to him and Shelstad goes to the Oregon locker room. He saw the injury to his right knee at the end of the second half. Dante scores the free throw. He has 25 points and 19 rebounds. the 25 tie a career high he set in the Pack 12 championship game last week against Colorado, which was Oregon's first free throw of the night and Dante has another thought about another one turning green again, they need to be watched in a glance. Ashworth again on the side of the offensive board Rebound krener with 10 to shoot Alexander on the attack here is Shan defended by kard Evans also three to shoot what a pass Shan to CER what a great pass from Shyan went through that D them I doubled him, which made me Like, it was a good play, but they gave him enough space to make that pass to C Breer.

Only the first field goal for Culk Brener since halftime. Happens. Rby couldn't handle the pass. You know what they're doing now. Very smart Katon, they are b

ending

Kenard to get the ball out of his hands. Great move by Greg Mcder. Get someone else to handle it. It's obviously not working out very well for Oregon. His third best option is in the locker room with a minute left. Alexander, what a move and hit. I think you have to push a little now. You can't play with that thing in half court like you've been doing. Dana Alman calls a timeout with 51 seconds left.

Shelstad returns. I'll see if he can return in the timeout in Pittsburgh, the Kraton Blue Jays try to advance to the 16th sweep for the third time at Four Seasons. Dana Alman called a timeout on his team with the ball down by three, they should probably pocket it, they ran the pick. and he shoots the whole game, but you see what's happening lately, they're doubling Kenard when he comes off that screen and making him get rid of the ball. They probably shouldn't put a screen on him, let him try to go one on one. one and hope

full

y if Elstead comes back into the game that's another shooter they have out there if he gets some help he can kick it or pass it to Dante in the low post for 29 points so he's set a Pack record 12 for the largest quantity. points from any Pack 12 player in his first two tournament games in some Elite company, it happened to you, think about Evan, yes, in the stadium, since you can see the guys on the court, he has support on that right knee, spoke with Dana Alman Bri. the decision was to keep him on the bench from now on yeah rby is still there okay let's see what they do now they're going to double him again here comes the cul brener Evans Evans for three oh air ball. but Tracy follows him and finally someone other than Dante and Kard scores for the Ducks now they have 4 seconds, you have to foul, there are only 4 seconds, you have to foul, you can't give yourself four seconds.

R is told to commit a foul. with 27 seconds left and Ashworth at 90% free throws Tracy does a good job there Ashworth doesn't box him Ashworth's money at the line Oregon only has six 3-pointers tonight and they haven't made one in the last 9 and 1/2 minutes oh, they have enough time to take a quick two, but they have to go if they get an open three, okay, but they have to go. Tracy almost lost it. 20 seconds left. Kard puts up a three. What a time out, my goodness. Oregon, my goodness. stones in Pittsburgh 32 for Kard and we're tied, I mean, Chan is out, maybe he should have raised his hand earlier, but that's a tough shot and a pretty good shot, his six threes of the night, his mom Raven and all his family. excited, we're getting into this here too, what a scene here in Pittsburgh, but now 17 seconds left, keep in mind the last game of the regular season.

Trey Alexander rang the buzzer for Kraton to win at Villanova, they can take the last one. shot here, they need to take it with about 5 seconds left, so there's plenty of time. They have been rebounding offensively all game, not so well in the second half, leave yourself enough time to make a second shot and put the ball in Shyan's hands. it's the most he or Trey Alexander, the two guys that can do something off the dribble on their own and they go 1 14 down here, it looks like a two-man game between Shyman and Trey Alexander. 5 seconds left.

Alexander with the ball with two seconds left, shoved Alexander at the buzzer, no, he scored the winning goal in Nova, but not tonight and we're going to double overtime in Pittsburgh. I thought I was doing this. I'll tell you he pushed Alexander. he gets it back and almost sends the Blue Jays to the Sweet 16 Tennessee will have to wait at least five more minutes to see who they're going to face in the sweet 16 in Detroit Oregon and Kraton tied it at 71 as we started overtime number two. and how lucky we are the last two games in Pittsburgh today three overtimes 20 lead changes 14 ties with no double-digit leads we're seeing all the luckiest guys in the world, but how about the minutes when you look at kraton 40 minutes Trey Alexander 40 minutes tyan 39 minutes CA brener Kenard Dante playing tons of minutes caul brener wins the lead and still no player with four fouls and even no shell stats can't come back for the Ducks Rick B is out there Oregon continues this matchup change now is a changing from man to man Ashworth is released Evans, the rebound kard has 32 after his career-high 40 against South Carolina on Thursday.

I think Dan Alman is doing this because he wants to conserve the guy's energy, they definitely could have done that for the last one. five seven minutes Dante had taken it away Evans there's four on the shot clock but Evans went out of bounds another look yeah there it is I needed to get this together and just get it out Evans didn't score tonight it looks like he's 0 for three Ashworth is finishing up with the best shots more open for a while now Alexander tied inside gets rid of Ashworth there he is Boom they've been leaving him open that's his fifth triple of the night kard High arc rainbow not green the rebound Green has done a good job on the glass Ashworth has scored 19 tonight 16 since halftime and Greg Mcder decided to go with two bigs instead of the four guards or four perimeter players.

I must say that no arello no Mason Miller wow another cul rer away the 143 of the night for the Blue Jays Kard in the attack from the glass rolls and leaves and Greg Mcder says let's slow down with 250 to go maybe he'll get tired a little Kard usually finishes all those I think he's a little tired Alexander what a move he misses Green Jason Green Rim rocking is giving them a big boost I think they have to go a little faster now Dan Alman is telling them the things you did before are you down eight kard three is not a good bounce for Alexander and the ducks with two minutes left are in trouble a scoring drought approaching two minutes and a whistle and a foul with just 6 seconds on the shot clock a 80 run by the Blue Jays well, kraton here Ashford does a good job himself was available when Trey Alexander was in trouble and they called BR, left him alone, which you can understand.

I mean, he's the guy, don't let him shoot, but if he's going to shoot, he's fine and then green with the big follow through there. Jason Green The Omaha native has been a big spark off the bench for the Blue Jays, four points but nine rebounds and there is some blood on the court. Dante's lip is cut and you know, Mason Miller, Farabello and Trout, they didn't really do anything, so put it in. at least he's going to hit and get rebounds and that's what he did and remember at halftime with Evan Wasburn Greg McDermot pointed out Jason Green's play in the first half and kept that up for the rest of the night as a reminder that Tennessee is waiting in the wings in Detroit on the sweet 16, you know, we sat down with Greg McMan for a while yesterday and his team is very busy.

He said that we know what to expect and that 100% of our focus is on basketball and winning, yes it is experience, but it is also who these players are and he said that we have no drama or problems off the court. He said we walked into the arena the other night for the first round like it was a January road game at Seatan Hall and they haven't been eliminated tonight yet. that Oregon has thrown at them, Alexander and Shyan haven't come out all night and Cul Brener has sat for a total of 27 seconds, you know, and it's tough for Dan Alman and ARG when you're playing against eight guys and four of them are doing it. they made.

He didn't score and one of them got hurt and the other one got hurt so the only guy that scored seven points is no longer playing so they've been playing basically two guys in a 10 point game, Rigsby for three and he's tracked in Tracy's corner Nard catches and shoots a short triple very short out of bounds the Ducks are running out of gas yes, I think his legs have become heroic game of Kard and Dante but not enough at least it doesn't look like that a foul with 122 To go, Kard and Dante scored 58 of the 71 for the Ducks, you know, you look back, that one and another one that Dante lost at the end, regulation, that was their chance, they needed to do it then and they didn't. kraton 12 of 13 at the free throw line tonight for the season, they shoot 78% from the line, which is top 15 in the country, they dodged the major bullet. is missing and Dana Alman is looking at the clock.

I thought Greg Mcder's move to catch Kenard on the high pick and roll was brilliant, a brilliant move and a huge turning point in Cu's game opportunity for Kraton fans here in Pittsburgh and alreadyYou know. what Andrew many times when Alexander the bench opens after midnight in Pittsburgh many times when a team dodges a bullet in the NCA tournament just let him not take a foul 34 seconds left I see your point he survives a lot Many teams, when you dodge a bullet in the NCA tournament, you survive, especially on a good team like this, who really, in many ways, should have, could have lost very easily if Don had made that free throw for those teams. sometimes they go on and win everything.

I've seen it and this team is capable and this team remembers the pain of San Diego State's loss in the Elite 8 a year ago, that's the first point of the double overtime they had for Oregon. They have been outscored by 1 15 to start this second session, if they could get a little bit off their bench when they need it, this team can win it all and they don't need much because they don't foul and Greg Mcder told us that. With longer timeouts in the NCAA tournament, the timeouts are a minute longer, he doesn't have to play as many of his bench players feel confident that his starting five can hold up and go the distance, which tonight covered two overtimes, so for Greg McDermot, this will be his 325th win at Kraton, two behind all-time leader Dana Alman, two coaches in the last 30 years of Kraton, two incredible bosses, tremendous guys and tremendous coaches with great mutual respect.

I imagine that's how it will be. It's going to be a pretty emotional handshake here. Dana Alman will support the kraton, but right now it's the Blue Jays who advance to the Sweet 16.
