The Straits were teetering. Desperate Zevon was roaring back. The "Money for Everything" close-to-home crowd was screaming. And the stifling intensity that makes the MSW tournament so popular blanketed the court. "We finally got over the hump!" Danny Knopfler (who's brother had been knocked out by The Bruce Springsteen E-Street's) told Dick Vitale following the game. "It's funny: There's really only one happy team at the end of the NCAA tournament." coach Ewing was heard to say in the background. Meanwhile, Coach Signore was finally found in the fetal position in his "fortress of alone-i-tude", mumbling "The last 10 minutes of the game, they flat took us,...these PRETZELS are making me thirsty." The Straits are now preparing to meet The Cohens, who beat Vampire Weekend earlier. "Let me tell ya," proclaimed Ewing to a capacity crown, "our transition game was ON! We had penetration, and we just flat-out took them out of the game early."
