Warren Central vs. Male 3.17.22
Day #2 of the UK Healthcare Boys’ Sweet 16 we the opening game for today between Warren Central & Male. After 8 minutes of playing Male starts to pull away but that doesn’t stop Warren Central, they keep driving hard into the paint to make the basketball and draw the extra free throw. We will see what both teams are able to do during this 2nd quarter before going into halftime, after being down the 1st and almost all over the 2nd quarter Warren Central is able to get back up and drills a 3 pointer to put them up by one point with 2:30 left to play before the half. Coming out the locker rooms both teams are looking to make something happen during this last 16 minutes of play to advance to the Elite 8 tomorrow night here at Rupp Arena. Less than a minute to play here in the 3rd quarter and Male has grown to a 6-point lead against Warren Central, but they end up driving toward their end of the court to cut that lead down to 4. As the buzzer sounds for the end of the 3rd Male draws the foul to be sent to the line for two, they end up going 0-2 at the free throw line. Going into these last 8 minutes of play both teams are trying to push the other to the breaking point that will allow them to take over and start gaining a lead on the other. 5:11 left to play in the game and Male is up by 2, trying to hold on to that narrow lead and time starts to count down. Under 2 minutes to play and Warren Central is back in this game after driving into the paint to put them on top by two points and as Male comes back down the court to try for shot of their own, they are blocked by Warren Central and forces them to call a timeout to draw up some type of play. For the first time this week we are going into overtime! Both teams will battle it out for another 4 minutes to see who will be able to come through and make it to the Elite 8, with 12 seconds left to play in OT Warren Central makes a FT by their #5 Edelen but Male still has 8 seconds left to play we will see what they are able to do.
