Belmont ends "Streak"; Outlasts Dunbar in 3 OTs
The Belmont Bison hadn't beaten Dunbar in so long (20+ years) in the hoop world, that it was starting to feel like the Bison would never end the streak.
Despite all the chaos that ensued, the Bison were able to pull out a wild 81-80 (3 OT) victory on Tuesday to snap a multi-decade streak in which the Bison contigent would rush the floor in celebration immediately after the game.
You could even see the football coaches (Earl White included) and principal running around and celebrating as well, as the "streak" was finally over.
And what a ending it was.
In a game which both teams had equal opportunity to win, the Bison gave up a lead late in the 4th, then missed a opportunity in the 2nd OT with 3 missed attempts, before finally holding off the pesky Wolverines in the 3rd OT.
Led by Jaden Furlow and Jeff Hunt, the Bison were up 81-77 before a long 3-ball by Michael Elmore (17pts) setup the scene for the last play.
Belmont would turn the ball over setting up Dunbar for a final shot in which Dylan Craver would miss the 3, sending the Bison into a frenzy.
Dunbar was led by big men Johnathan Allen who was dominant and dropped 26, 16, & 6 blocks, while Tavion Thomas added 14 and 9 boards.
Belmont was led by Hunt (23 pts, 7 dimes), Furlow (19pts, 14 rebs, 4 dimes, 2 stls, 2 blks) & G Kendall Moore (14pts, 4 dimes, 5-6 FTs).
Belmont moves to 3-0 while Dunbar falls to 1-2.
