Fourth Quarter
The scorekeeper had the score wrong. The score should have been 45-45 with 4 seconds left on the clock in the 4th but the scorekeeper had 45-46 so we had our team foul to stop the clock only to find out later that the true score was 45-45. Us fouling them put them on the line and Hoover won the game. :(
