First they waved off the last second tip in, then looked at the replay and counted the bucket.
If Mo State didn't bring their camera crew they would not have had the instant replay to look at.

And if they had made free throws down the stretch, it wouldn't have mattered.
I think that's the thing that impresses me most about Valley teams - they usually do the little things you have to do to win. So it's surprising to see them not do that.
The funny thing: The fluke win against SMS has prompted all sorts of "SLU is great!" talk up here. I'm looking forward to them shutting up after UNC pounds SLU into dog meat tomorrow...
Question for you Valley fans: The conference seems awfully senior-heavy. SIU, Creighton and Wichita State have proven they can sustain success. What about the rest of the schools (UNI, that school in Springfield, etc)? Do they have players in place to step in? I think the biggest advantage the Valley has is that it recruits 4-year players, and that experience often is enough to overcome the superior athletic talent of BCS conference teams...
