Villanova's Last Shot - Breece Erickson and Carter Miller


Josh Hart on the line.
13.5 is the time.

He spins the ball in his hand,
releases
SWISH!

Villanova up by three,
one tying shot is Carolina’s plea.
TIMEOUT!

They walk back out pass it in
UNC hopes to win.
Berry sprints down the court,
heart beating for the sport .

He sees Paige on the wing
Ochefu dives in like a spring.
Paige jumps for the three,
loops it down and around to get it free

He shoots...

He watches...

The ball rattles...

SWISH!

Crowd screaming, going wild
A former all-star looks and smiles.

The game is tied at 74.
Villanova’s gotta score.
Coach Wright looked in shock
Now 4.7 is on the clock.

Jenkins calls a time
hoping they can hit just one more time.
Coach wright gives the news,
that make or miss we don’t lose.

Jenkins passes it hard,
right to the 'Cats point guard.
He sprints down the line
hoping they will have the time.

Arch drives to the key,
Flips to Jenkins, to fire a game-winning plea...

Jenkins jumps…

Releases…

SWISH!

Game is over.
Confetti falls.
Wildcats are the best team of all!

The Unbelievable Shot - Beck Willems and Tristan Mast

Michigan State and Syracuse tied at 22. But know one's shot will fall through. A defensive game for the two. Fans are thinking what will they do? If someone's shot would just fall, no one would have to worry at all! Michigan State has the ball, waiting for Tom Izzo to make the call. Five seconds on the clock. Hoping the ball won’t get blocked. Reversing the ball around the perimeter, the defender missed it by a centimeter. Now it’s time to take a shot. They need to hit it on the dot. Now they pass it to Matt McQuaid, open in the corner far away. Now he shoots! It’s tipped, it’s blocked! .9 seconds remaining on the clock. He catches it in mid air. He throws it up like he doesn’t care. It banks and swishes as buzzer blares. That shot he made is super rare! The crowd goes wild…but... This was not the Spartan victory though. Michigan State lost by two free throws.

Team Breakdown: Loyola-Chicago - Beck Willems

Image
Loyola is an eleven seed in this year's NCAA tournament. They are in the sweet sixteen which is pretty amazing since an eleven seed making it to the sweet sixteen is uncommon. Although, they have earned their spot in the sweet sixteen by hitting two buzzer beaters to win the games against Tennessee and Miami. Clayton Custer a former Iowa State guard hit a miracle shot with very little time left against the high ranked tennessee team to advance onward to the sweet sixteen. Loyola may have hit some lucky shots, but they are a strong team capable of doing more damage in the tourney. The ramblers finished first in their conference regular season with a 15-3 record, and won their conference tournament beating Illinois state 65-49. Their overall record at the moment is 30-5. Leading Loyola to all their success is a 6-1 185 pound junior guard Clayton Custer. Custer averages 13.3 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 4.2 APG so far this season. Loyola is ranked 63 in offense and 27 in defense. Loyola...

Team Breakdown: Villanova - Zoe Willems

Villanova got in to the sweet 16 by beating Alabama 81-53, they also beat Radfored 87-61. The first two games were fairly easy for the Wildcats as they advance to the sweet sixteen. Villanova’s best players are Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson. Bridges is good because he averages 18 points and  rebounds 5.4 a game. Brunson averages 19 points and gets 4.7 assists a game. Villanova  is from the big East conference, they have won the big East tournament 8 times this year. Including this year. In their  regular season they were second, first was Xavier. Villanova has been one of the most impressive teams in the tournament this year. Villanova is the slowest team out of all teams left because they slow it down and create movement. Villanova has the best offense, and are ranked 19th in the country for their defense. Villanova will play West Virginia next. West Virginia beat Marshall in the tournament. I want Villanova to bet them them.
