Twitter Reactions: Cartwright at the Buzzer
Happy Thanksgiving, Friar fans. After Belmont converted a backdoor alley oop with under four seconds remaining to break a tie, Kyron Cartwright grabbed the inbounds pass, sprinted up the floor and tossed in a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Providence 66, Belmont 65.
It was a game that Ed Cooley said the Friars didn’t deserve to win, but he’ll certainly take it. Cooley implored his team to play with more force on the offensive end after a first half that saw them take just two free throws against a less physical Belmont group.
The Friars went inside in the final four minutes of the game offensively with success, but defensive lapses nearly cost them late.
