FRA-Harding D2-A Finish - Unreal

[osunut2]

How is no one talking about this? I've never seen anything like what happened in the second half of that game on Saturday. FRA jumped out fast and pushed the lead to 31 points with 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Harding started chipping away, cut it to 14 or 15 by the end of the quarter, then tied it with a minute to go. They even had a chance to win in regulation, but missed the game winning 3; ultimately, they sealed it with FTs in the final minute of OT.

 

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that, on any level of bball.

it was exciting to watch..Caught the last of it on TV it reminded me a lot of an NBA game..no defense at all. there was a bunch of athletes on the court though especially the one kid from Harding.

What about the Harding players not giving up and the coaches not throwing in the towel?

U have to try to blow a 31 point lead in the 2nd half with no shot clock. Cooper should have been in the game, and Pierce should have used at least one timeout. Mind-boggling coaching.

Does Harding get any credit for the comeback win?

[crazzyness]

What kind if crackerjack coach let's his team blow a 31 point lead in 12 minutes?? Unbelievable.

Valid point...amazing, and more pub should be given.

Harding deserves credit, absolutely. One of the most improbable comebacks I've ever seen. But come on, how does a talented team like FRA choke away a 31-point lead with 12 minutes left (and no shot clock)? I certainly don't want to take away from what Harding was able to do, but jeez, I feel like the only way you could blow a 31-point lead at that point in a game between two quality teams is to actually try to give it away.

1. I'm sure FRA wasn't 31 point better than Harding. 2. I'm sure FRA didn't just allow Harding to come back. 3. It's amazing that neither coach used any subs that normally don't play when FRA was up by 31.

That's gotta be heart breaking.  I recorded the game as I will do all the state games to watch during my spring break.  I can't wait to see this

Agree on all points, especially #3.

I had no dog in this hunt and just enjoyed watching, but I was screaming at FRA coach to take a time out.   He let his kids fall completely apart - about 20 points into the come back, you just knew it was over.   Harding kids showed a lot of guts.
