THE OWLS ARE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
The OIT Hustling Owls defeated the Mid America Pioneers tonight 74-71 and get to go up against the Bellevue Bruins of Nebraska, for the Championship, tomorrow at 8:30 CDT (5:30 PDT).
Tonight the Owls went behind 6-o in the early minutes of the game and fought back for a 3 point lead going into the locker room.
In the second half the Owls maintained their lead throughout and leading by as much as 9 points several times.
In the final minute the Owls’ lead was cut to 3 and with seven seconds left to play the Owl lead was down to 1 after the Pioneers made only one-shot of a two shot foul.
Under a full court press the Owls lobbed a court length inbound pass and scored a lay-up for the 3 point win.
The two hundred or so fans at the OIT Student Union went wild! Ray was so excited he couldn’t get his coat on; he said he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. I don’t think I will either.

We both think this was one of the most exciting game of our lives!
We have to find a venue for tomorrow’s championship game, the Internet service that has broadcast the tournament so far is not broadcasting the Championship game; go figure. We know of one place, a restaurant, that is showing the game on a Satellite broadcast, but it is much too small to handle all the fans that will want to watch it. We are hoping that one of the two or three Sports Bars we have here in town will show it.
GO OWLS; HOOT, HOOT, HOOT, HOORAH
