Men's Basketball:
Amazing season ends in tough 3 OT loss
March 12, 2009
San
Bernardino Valley College Men’s Basketball faced a tough City College of
San Francisco Rams team in
the first round of the state finals. As the final buzzer echoed in the
cavernous Selland Arena in Fresno, after three overtime periods, the
exhausted teams congratulated each other as SBVC heads home, 87-92.
Both teams shot
below 31 percent, going into the locker room at halftime with SBVC up, 27-23. As
the game progressed into the second half the Rams started to chip away at the
rigid SBVC defense. The
Wolverines increased their field goal percentage shooting, 30.6 percent in the
first half and 40 percent in the second half. This allowed CCSF to
jump their shooting percentage 21 percent, with a first half shooting percentage
of 27.3 percent to 48.4 in the second half. As the game moved from one overtime
period into the next, free throw shooting became the key difference between the
two teams and SBVC found it hard to collect on the Rams fouls, as SBVC shot 50
percent from the free throw line in the over time periods.
Leading the way for
SBVC was sophomore guard Warren Fuselier (Baton Rouge, Louisiana North Side)
with 18 points, freshman forward Maurice McGee (Riverside Ramona) with 16 points
and nine rebounds, freshman forward Curtis Wilikinson (Budea, Michigan Franklin
County) completing the double-double with with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Men's Basketball: Stuns
Chaffey in Win
January 14, 2008
SBVC took on their cross county rival Chaffey and walked
away with victories. The men’s
basketball team (4-0 17-6) sent the home crowd into frenzy with a overtime
victory for the ages. The Wolverines almost let the game slip away multiple
times, but ended up with an overtime win, 81-78.
The men’s basketball game came down to a foul called on the
Panthers with 1.4 seconds remaining in the first overtime period. The officials
counted a basket by freshman guard Nathan Roth (Riverside Ramona) that they had
initially waived off. Causing a mixture of euphoria and angst in the gymnasium
by fans of both teams. The foul call was a controversial one that enraged the
Panthers coaching staff and left SBVC coaches trying to figure out what
happened. The end result was a loose ball foul on Roth which gave the Panthers a
chance to tie the game at the free throw line. With SBVC leading 80-78,
sophomore wing Winston Robinson (Bartram, Pennsylvania John Bartram H.S.) stood
at the free throw line and promptly missed both free throws. As SBVC inbounded
the ball, freshman forward Curtis Wilkinson (Budea, Michigan Franklin County H.S.)
was fouled and sent to the free throw line with a chance to put the game away.
Missing the first free throw Wilkinson converted on the second, giving SBVC a
three point lead. With 0.8 left on the clock the Panthers inbounded the ball
hurling the ball to an open sophomore guard Lamar Williams (Fontana H.S.) who
grazed the rim as time expired.
Roth led the Wolverines with 22 points and sophomore guard
Warren Fuselier (Baton Rouge, Louisiana North Side H.S.) added 19 to lift the
Wolverines (4-0, 17-6) past the Panthers to keep their undefeated conference
record intact.
