The Golden Eagles Alumni edged the Hoopsville Warriors Saturday, 95-92, in the Midwest Regional of The Basketball Tournament.
This opening round battle had no shortage of drama, as Hoopsville, losing 92-91, had two free throws with less than thirty seconds left. The first free throw clanked off the rim, but the second shot was successful, tying the game with one play remaining.
Golden Eagles Alumni head coach Wesley Matthews turned to his leading scorer Dwight Buycks with the game on the line. Buycks took the ball to the left corner and ran the clock down before putting up a step-back three pointer.
