Entering this year’s The Basketball Tournament, Golden Eagles Alumni guard Jerel McNeal was hardly a fan of the new “Elam Ending” rule. The rule stops the clock with four minutes left until a team reaches a “target score.”
“It’s definitely a little different,” McNeal admitted Thursday. “I wasn’t sure about it at all going into it right away.”
But Golden Eagles Alumni might be a bigger fan of the “Elam Ending” after Jamil Wilson used two possessions to complete a 73-66 win over the Talladega Knights Saturday afternoon.
With the game tied at 66-66, Wilson hit a three while drawing a foul, moving the Golden Eagles three points away from an Elam Ending win.
