End of the basketball season at UT

All the basketballs on Bancroft Street have been put into storage until October. The Rocket gals ended their season in an 74-73 OT loss to Syracuse. It was tied at 64 after regulation play. The Orange girls outscored UT 10-9 in OT to win the game. The Rockets really played a poor game on their floor by the stats. They shot 31% from the field on 2-point tries, inexcusably missing several layups, and were 7 for 19 for 38% on the 3-pointers. They really killed themselves at the free-throw line, too, making only 24 of 41 shots for 58%. Last year the Rockets beat Syracuse in the WNIT but this year, it went the other way. It was a tough way for them to end the season. No matter, the future of men’s and women’s basketball for our alma mater is looking great.
