seriously? it was to stay fresh for the next game? didnt it make ESPN or something. I thought it was jeff sheldon?ndlionsfan wrote:Wasn't the Regent game from the night before about the same thing? I think I remember the two teams stalling all game to prepare for whoever won to play Hettinger the next night. Correct me if I'm wrong here...

If your team is more physically gifted than your opponents, you need to pressure the ball at every opportunity and try to force a turnover. You can't force Regent to take a shot, but you can at least make them pass the ball around. It sounds like Regent's only hope was to stall, so I don't understand why Hettinger would allow them to do that.

Think of it like this... In the history of North Dakota basketball, how many buzzer beaters have there been compared to how many 4-2 games there have been...
It might not have been the most exciting, it's just the fact that it will never happen again. There will always be buzzer beaters and double overtime games and such, but those will always happen. This game was a once in a lifetime game.

But my personal favorite was Newburg/Linton the second time, when Newburg won.
