Why Are We Cursed?


Im watching the Nova/Pitt game last night, when i get a text message. I open it up, its from Mikey Fells. It reads "Scottie Reynolds is the second most overrated player in the country." (The most is James Harden, from Arizona State). The game will go down as one of those epic games, that doesnt happen very often. Exciting throughout.

Pitt down 4 with under 10 seconds. Dejuan Blair makes a layup, down 2 now. On the inbounds play Reggie Redding tries for the homerun pass, and its not a good one. Nova player attempts to throw it off Dixon of Pitt, but to no avail. Dixon dribbles up, finds Levance Fields, and gets fouled. Fields makes the first, down 1. Jay Wright (formally of Hofstra) calls a timeout, trying to ice Fields. Fields is money, and nets the second. Tie game. 5 seconds left.

In my head i'm thinkin OT. For our pool, we wanted Pitt to win. Although it wasnt he worst thing if Nova won, we wanted Pitt none the less. Nova has trouble inbounding, but has a great play. A give and go on the inbounds, Dante Cunningham to Scottie Reynolds. Reynolds pushes the ball downcourt, yes the same overrated Scottie Reynolds. He drives the lane, puts it up, and......

it falls. Nova up 2. .5 seconds left. Fields throws up a prayer, and its off. Nova Wins, Nova Wins.

SERVEDDDDDDD

Why are we so cursed? If Mikey Fells didnt send the text, there is no doubt in my mind, Reynolds missed that shot, and Pitt wins.
