Motivated Knights shoot for NCAAs
Rice's Morris Almond created just enough distance from his defender to get his shot off. So, trailing by one with the season on the line, Almond hoisted up a 3-pointer from 27 feet away while falling to the floor.
He sunk it with 2.8 seconds left. It was elation for the Owls. It was dejection for the UCF Basketball team.
The Knights were the No. 2 seed headed into the 2007 Conference USA Championship Tournament, but they couldn't get out of the first round after the 53-51 defeat to the Owls on March 8. Almond's defender on that play was senior guard Dave Noel. He knows his team can use what happened in the past as motivation for the present.
"We feel like we could have went further, and we should of went further," Noel said. "But we took a loss early in the conference tournament. So from that, the way people were talking about us, it is definitely motivating us, so we're ready to go for this season and show people we should have gone further last year."
