Depending on one's perspective, the Bulls (8-2) either played down to their opposition or up to their propensity for high drama, or both, Thursday against Florida A&M. Either way, their 73-70 victory was their fourth in a row by one possession. That hasn't happened for this program since 1979.
Only the latest escape left Heath far more flummoxed and, at times, furious than inspired.
"I wish I could explain our team, but I can't," said Heath, whose squad boards a plane this morning for Las Vegas, where it faces Mississippi State on Sunday in the third round of the Las Vegas Classic. "Florida A&M outhustled us, outworked us, outscrapped us. It hurts me to my heart to say that, but we slipped out with the win."
Two nights after needing double overtime and a waved-off buzzer-beater to defeat Florida Gulf Coast 68-66, and before that Alabama 66-64 and George Mason 68-66, the Bulls got a baseline 3-pointer from Corey Allen (career-high 22 points) with 37 seconds to play to put them ahead 72-70.
