Heart attack

That's how I felt after the Tigers pulled off a win last night. It came down to the wire and even then, there was some controversy. And a bit of a fracas. UAB was ready for the Tigers and they wanted to win, no doubt. Tigers were down by 7 with a little over a minute to go. But Chris Douglas-Roberts converted a 3-point play with about 6 seconds left. (It was his game last night, that's for sure.) Then UAB made a basket a split second too late. Tigers win. WHEW! The UAB fans thought the basket counted, and they rushed the floor. Rumor has it they were spitting on the Tigers and throwing pompoms, cups and bottles at them. Heartbreaker for UAB that's for sure. But c'mon.

Apparently ESPN.com thought we were going to lose (or had lost), because this is what they had on their website minutes after we won. (Thanks to my blog contributor, Anne, for this submission!)
"IMPERECT"And then there were none. No. 1 Memphis is unbeaten no longer. UAB, on the back of sharp shooter Robert Vaden, knocked off the lone perfect team in Division I on Saturday night. UAB XX, Memphis XX

What a game! GO TIGERS!!!

I feel ok this morning, just a little sore in the legs. Am headed to church shortly reeking of Icy Hot.
