How to explain that a super coach and a great guy like Dan Hays has not just one, but two, seasons end with multiple overtime losses? It's almost unfathomable.

As I moaned and groaned watching the webcast (and keeping an eye on the game I was covering), I thought back to 1988, when OC and Langston played a district playoff game that would never end. Finally, OC had five of its top seven players foul out and ended up having to use a walk-on in the fourth overtime, and Langston won 107-103.

My lasting memory of that game is of Dan Hays coming over and doing the radio postgame, even after such a devastating loss. He is the epitome of class. I feel so bad for him tonight. He just once deserves to get to coach deep into the NAIA tournament, and I really thought this was the year. Players like Merrill don't come around too often, and OC has been fortunate to have had two of them in the last decade.

Hopefully there's another Mauck or Merrill out there somewhere who can carry OC and Dan Hays to the promised land someday.
