Another season has come and gone, but on the edge of seventeen, I’m far from all alone.
The epilogue was 12,329 words this year, but introspective, memorable, and a perfect segue into the next phase of my coverage.

Rip. Emeka. Kemba. Shabazz.
Those four men closed their #UConn careers with generational March runs that led to championships. Is Alex Karaban next in line?

As High Point heads home six points shy of a Sweet 16, it does so having put itself further on the map than last year’s breakthrough.

Taking a page out of @sportsmatters to have a quiet court moment. This entire season has been an absolute dream and I’m honored to have been a part of the @DalyDoseOfHoops staff. Thank you all for your support and engagement on my stories. I’ll see you next season!

46.5s 2H Arkansas 90, HPU 83
Darius Acuff Jr. may have called game as he drills a 3-pointer from the left wing to give Arkansas a three possession lead. Hogs are on a 7-0 run over the last 2:06 while HPU has gone 2:33 without scoring. Last gasp for the Panthers here
1:30 2H Arkansas 87, HPU 83
After a Rob Martin layup gave us our sixth tie, Darius Acuff Jr. converts two straight driving layups to give the Razorbacks a bit of cushion. Clayman calls timeout as the Panthers need a basket to keep their hopes alive here late. Finish coming next!
Oh, and if you didn't already know...
GET TO TBS/TRUTV!!!!!!!
