PROVO — The hearts of BYU fans were on a roller coast ride Wednesday night in a devastating 70-69 loss to the visiting Saint Mary team.
The game was tied 67-67, with little time left on the clock. Matt Carlino dished the ball into Tyler Haws' hands, who took a dribble to the basket and sent a fade-away shot toward the basket. In a moment of pure excitement, BYU fans watched as the ball went into the hoop to take a two-point lead with 2.5 seconds left in the game.
Dribbling the ball down court, Dellavedova threw up a half-court desperation shot to win the game. These shots rarely go in, so BYU didn't really have anything to worry about. However, the shot went in as time expired, dashing the hopes of BYU basketball. It was an amazing shot, but likely hurt BYU's chance of going to the NCAA Tournament.
Some on Twitter said BYU got Jimmered, but that's just too cruel.
LeBron James scores 20,000
Following their loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday, the Miami Heat continued their road trip Wednesday to play the Golden State Warriors. The Heat completely dominated the Warriors, taking a 30-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.
LeBron James finished the game with 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in three quarters of play, but also became the youngest player in NBA history to score over 20,000 points and to top 5,000 assists. James joined an elite group of players who are considered some of the best in the game.
"We all witnessed history tonight," teammate Dwayne Wade said after the game. "It's a great feat and I'm happy to be part of it."
James was mobbed by teammates after the game, who congratulated him on the major accomplishment. James gathered his shoes and uniform and put them in a bag to keep forever.
"I'm keeping all of this stuff," James said. "Maybe I'll give it to the Hall of Fame after a while."
Evening of Russian culture
The Brooklyn Nets are owned by Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov. In an effort to see how much some of the players know about Russia, BCTV host Alyonka decided to test their knowledge.
Nets players Brook Lopez, Reggie Evans and MarShon Brooks answered questions about Russian pronunciation and were asked where Russia was on a map. As you can imagine, the players struggled with many of the answers, but were good sports about it.
