The Elam ending is intense, especially when a team is in the midst of a 23-point comeback like the Stillwater Stars were Saturday night.
The Stars, Oklahoma State’s alumni team in The Basketball Tournament, beat New Mexico’s alumni squad, Enchanted, 84-83 in the tournament’s first round and did so in miraculous fashion.
With 53 seconds to play in the third quarter, the Stars trailed 72-49, but Doug Gottlieb’s boys (you read that correctly) didn’t give up.
The Stars finished the third on a 4-0 run and turned that into a 12-0 run a few minutes into the fourth.
