Crazy 5 OT Game

Saturday Night the # 25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish squared off against the #11 team in the nation, Louisville Cardinals. Both of these teams have been getting criticism about if they are "for real" teams or competitors when March Madness comes around. Through the whole game neither team could pull away and in the end of regulation the score stood 60-60. In 1st overtime tied at 68, Russ Smith could not hit the long three to end 1st overtime. Next, in 2nd overtime Notre Dame's Gaurd/Forward Pat Connaughton Drained a 3 to tie it up at 75 with 15 seconds left. Louisville could not capitalize and were found going into another OT. In 3rd overtime #11 guard for Notre Dame drove for a score to take the lead by 1. Louisville would hit a free throw at the end. In 4th overtime Notre dame would find themselves down 93-91 as time started to run low. Charging for the basket Eric Adkins would lose grip of the ball as it sailed toward the crowd. Amazingly, the #2 forward would save the ball from going out. Almost instantly Zach Auguste put up a hook shot that would hit the rim and and miss. Some how the ball would be tipped twice and forced in. As Crazy as it sounds Notre Dame tied it at 93 and with 5 seconds left Russ Smith again lost the ball and could not make the three. The two teams were going into there 5th overtime. With About 8 seconds left Louisville drove down the court down 104-101. Again it was Russ Smith taking the shot, and again it was Russ Smith missing the shot. The ball went out of bounds and fans rushed the court. Notre dame wins, 104-101 Final, 5ot

Illinois beats Indiana in a thriller

Once again the number 1 team falls. This time it was Indiana on top once again and again they can't hang on to it. Going into halftime Indiana had a promising 41-29 lead over the tough and surprisingly unranked team. The second half fell apart for the Hoosiers. Illinois outscored IU in the second half 45-31. Worst part about the last point, it was a buzzer beater. With 0.9 seconds left in the game Indiana left the basket open and let the pass go right to Tyler Griffey who laid it in to win the game.

Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez After Throwing His No Hitter Last Year

Felix Hernandez from the Seattle Mariners has signed a contract extension with the Seattle Mariners worth 135 Million Dollars. This is one of the biggest money making deals for any Pitchers of all time. He will make an annual amount of 27.5 million, this is the second largest amount. The highest amount for an annual salary was 28 million by Roger Clemens. This most likely means to me that the Seattle Mariners want to keep Felix in Seattle for his whole career. He deserves this extension as he has been one of the best pitchers for a while now. 

Heart Breaker in Ann Arbor

The game down to the final 7 seconds of the game after Aaron Craft missed the mid range jumper. Ohio State was still down by 1 with Michigan at the Free Throw line. He made the first and missed the second and    OSU still had a timeout with the 7 seconds but they didn't use it. Craft again raced down the floor trying to be the hero by tying the game but then again he was blocked by Tim Hardaway JR. to loose the game. Final score 76-74 Michigan win.
