Wesleyan 102 Murray 101!
Owensboro, KY., Jan 19.- Owenboroans wouldn't have believed it if they hadn't
seen it here tonight!
When the basket-shooting was over between Kentucky Wesleyan and Murray State
in spacious Sportcenter the scoreboard showed: Kentucky Wesleyan 102, Murray
State 101! And that scoreboard was no pin-ball machine gone haywire. The score
was just that, little Wesleyan upsetting powerful Murray by the unbelievable
score of 102 to 101.
That's an Owensboro record; basketball historians will be checking their files
and memories in the next few days if it also isn't a record for college teams in
Kentucky.
One Overtime Period
The game went one overtime. It was tied at 95-95 at the end of regulation
time.
With one second remaining in the regular game, Murray was leading 95-94 when
Gipe fouled Luther Westerfield and his free throw tied the score.
Wesleyan grabbed the lead in the extra period ad Pardue sank two charity
tosses, but Bennie Purcell connected on two straight field goals to put Murray
ahead 99-97.
Daniel went the length of the floor to score on a driving layup that knotted
the count at 99 all. Daniel then sank a free throw to give Wesleyan a 100-99
edge. Pardue then sank another long shot to put Wesleyan ahead 102-99, but Bailey
sank a short one to end the scoring and the ball game.
