Villanova vs Pittsburg

I've never watched NCAA basketball before.
But the match between Villanova and Pittsburg was a classic!!

72-76 - 35 seconds to go.
Vlilanova was leading by 4.
They allowed Pittsburg centre no. 45 to score with 4 guys on defence. (They were sleeping probably).
74-76.
Then with about 20+ seconds to go, Villanova threw a full court inbound pass to one of their players. But it was a bad pass and all he could do was to pass to a Pittsburg player.
He quickly dished out to his teammates and this guy was fouled before he attempted a shot.
As both teams were over the team foul limits (In NCAA, you go to the FT line automatically after you get fouled when your opponents have more than 10 team fouls)
This player made both FTs and game on at 76-76
5.5seconds left on the clock....
Then came the final play when Scott Reynolds of Villanova ran from half court after a pass from his team mates and he did the stuff of legend....
Scored a short 2 points (Driving past people and dodging players) and all Pittsburg could do was to throw a long shot harmlessly off the board...
Final score - Villanova-Pittsburg 78-76.

Well, to me, none of the teams lost.
They played to the best of their abilities, albeit mistakes here and there.
It was a GREAT game to watch.
Although it's not NBA standard, but it was great to watch.
The hunger, desire and thirst for success.
I believe that all of us should emulate that kind of attitude.
With that attitude, all things are possible.

Redbull keeps us alive (At times).
I have to be alive!!!!!
