Are You Kidding Me?

Seriously.

I did not just see that.

Campbell leads Belmont by 18 (!!!) with less than 4 minutes to go, and Belmont comes back to win.

Wow.

A 30-9 run over the last 3:27, with all 9 Campbell points coming at the free throw line. J-Rod goes 2 for 4. Hartley goes 4 for 10. Rick Byrd even gets a Technical.

Get this -- the run started when Belmont started fouling. The only catch is that Campbell is THE BEST FREE THROW SHOOTING TEAM IN THE CONFERENCE! 71% for the year, 9 for 20 down the stretch last night. Nothing like playing to the opposition's strength and beating them anyway.

Of course, when J-Rod is having the kind of night he was having (25 & 10 on 8 of 12 shooting for a PEG of 26), fouling other guys was the only way to get the ball out of his hands.

During the run, Belmont made 6 of 8 3-balls. During the first 36+ minutes, they were 2 for 24.

Amazing.
