The Importance Of Making Shots In Basketball
They say when you are making shots in basketball, you are a "hot" shooter. So it's no surprise that with about three and a half minutes remaining in the game between the Fort Wayne Mastodons and North Dakota State Bison, the fire alarm finally sounded.

The Mastodons and Bison were both shooting over 50% on their three-point attempts, with the 'Dons having a 80-77 lead after trailing by double-figures late in the first half and being down by seven at halftime.

Unfortunately, after a nine-minute stoppage in play, while alarms sounded and pre-recorded messages to fans to vacate the arena (which very few actually did), the only team to be "hot" was NDSU.

The Bison used a 12-3 run once play resumed to carry them to a 89-83 win.
