BUFFALO, N.Y. (AF) — Despite a foul-ridden second half and the three-point onslaught brought on by Vermont, the Hogs are moving on to the second round of the NCAA tournament after beating the Catamounts, 75-71.
Coach Musselman knew it was going to be a tough game, simply because of how well-coached the Catamounts are.
“They understand their roles, uh, they play really hard,” Musselman said. “They’re a really smart basketball team. They can shoot the three. They present a lot of problems.”
JD Notae’s two free throws with nine seconds left in regulation sealed the deal, although tonight’s game was not for the faint of heart.
