While most people were sleeping last night, I had the privilege of staying up to watch the ending of the Davidson-Western Carolina game. The highlight below does not do the game justice as Western Carolina literally hit big shot after big shot down the stretch to come back from 13 down with 2:47 left (against a team that shoots 70%+ from the line as a team) to send the game into OT. Western Carolina was playing its 4th game in 4 days and battled its way into the 2nd OT before a last second three fell short and Davidson walked away with the win. It was one of the gutsiest performances I have seen from a team that was clearly exhausted as early as the 10 minute mark in the second half.

In addition to watching an exciting game, I had a double take when it appeared that Mutombo and Malone were playing for Western Carolina...
1) Upon further review, there was a Mutombo in the game. Senior guard Harouna Mutombo (nephew of Dikembe) showed some serious game and can get into the lane and finish with ease. He doesn't have the finger wag down yet, but that should come with time.
2) Unfortunately, I just got confused about Malone. However, sophomore forward Tawaski King looks exactly like the Karl Malone guy from the Man Show. It's one of the funnier things I have seen.
