Uni Rebels DBA 2014 Men's League Champions
From DBA Website Writeup
Mens League – The Uni Rebels pulled off a miraculous Houdini act to nip Ansett 77-73 after trailing for most of the second half up until there were about 30 seconds left to play. Tim Morris (26) and John King (24) put together 50 points between them, but it took a huge three pointer from Jake Kirby to put the Rebels into the lead with 18 seconds left to play. Ansett still had a chance to take home the trophy, but the shots that were falling earlier stopped and the Rebels took full advantage of the situation to win their second championship of the season. The Rebels had charged out to a 24-18 first quarter lead before the Blues came flying back to take a 42-37 halftime lead. Donte Nicholas put on a show with some thunderous slam dunks and Daniel Florance was continually driving to the hoop for points and chances at the free throw line, but it all came to nought in the last three minutes when the Blues seemed to lose their way. Nicholas put up 29 points, Florance 19 and Matt Hunt hit 15.
MVP for the game was Uni Rebel Tim Morris
