BG vs. Vanderbilt - Second half

By Colin Wilson on March 20th, 2007

UPDATE: 

BG WINS!!! 58-56. HELLO GREENSBORO!

UPDATE:

March Madness at its finest folks. The refs confer about whether there was a foul before the buzzer. There was with .4 seconds left. Hello Greensboro? 

UPDATE:

Achter hits the first of a one-and-one and BG is up 4 with 9.3 seconds left. My editor is going to kill me. 57-53 BG. A Vandy 3 with 1.3 left makes it 58-56. 

UPDATE: 

Vandy hits two free throws and Achter gets clotheslined and hits one of two. Vandy gets a layup with 10 seconds left and trails 56-53. This game is pretty damn exciting.

UPDATE: 

Time out Vandy, the fans really don’t care “We are BG” they chant.

UPDATE: 

Liz Honegger just grabbed a huge steal and is at the foul line. BG needs these free throw tosses to ice it for the most part. 55-49 with 32 seconds and a one-and-one for BG.

UPDATE:
Ali Mann just nailed a 3 and it gave me chills. That was so clutch it wasn’t even funny. 49 seconds left and BG is up six. WOW.

UPDATE: 

It’s time to start biting your nails. BG is up 52-49 with 1:31 left. BG needs a basket very badly. They’ve used the clock up but need to improve on their 4-of-20 shooting this half. The Commodores full court press is messing them up badly.

UPDATE: 

Carin Horne just picked up her third foul. She limped all the way to the other end, Vandy is in the bonus. They missed the first. Vandy just picked up a loose ball foul and it’s 52-43 with 3:42 to go. Crunch time my friends.

UPDATE

There’s five minutes to go and BG leads 52-43. Vandy has settled for jumpers the last two possessions and converted on one. Ali Mann is back in with four fouls, I guess it’s now or never for her, why not?

UPDATE:

Amber Flynn is playing outside herself. She would really love to go to Greensboro. She’s got 19 points and BG is now up 52-41 with six to play. 

UPDATE: 

At the third media timeout it’s 48-41 and Flynn is back at the line. Sherwood just picked up her third foul. Credit to Honegger and Goldsberry for hustle plays on the last two defensive possessions.

UPDATE: 

Sherwood is really starting to have her way in the paint. This is not a complaint, but I think she’s taken very few breaks from it. The BG fans have a good case for complaint about the lack of three-second calls. Flynn steps to the line with 8:35 to go and they’re up 48-41.

UPDATE:

Vandy just hit their first 3 of the game just before the 11 minute mark. Carin Horne missed on the answer. 46-39 at the 10 minute mark. 

UPDATE: 

At the second media timeout, BG still holds a 10-point lead. This is crazy. BG 46-36 with 11:32 to go. I’m objective, I’m objective, I’m objective.

UPDATE:

Sherwood is back and the BG fans are dying for a three-second call. She’s got four quick points. BG leads 43-34 with 13 minutes to go.

Here’s a link to Vandy’s dance team. Not a perfect 10, but I’ll take it over the Liz Sherwood calendar. http://www.vanderbilt.edu/vuband/Danceline/members.htm 

UPDATE: 

BG hasn’t scored yet but they’ve kept the game at a relatively slower pace. They still haven’t given up a 3. A battle to watch for will be Goldsberry and Caroline Williams. They’ve been getting pretty physical. Goldsberry just hit a 3 to make it 40-28 for BG with 15:22 to go.

UPDATE: 

BG needed a good possession and couldn’t get it. Vandy is being a lot more aggressive. Mann just picked up her third foul. Still 37-28 with 16:30 to go.

Christina Wirth is back in with three fouls for Vandy. They’re playing with fire apparently. BG has made the Commodores use the shot clock and smothered the perimeter pretty well up to this point. We’ll see how it goes. Vandy scores the first two buckets and it’s 37-28.
