Karl put Miller back in the game at the next stoppage, and the 13-year veteran was a stabi- lizing force. Miller had back-to-back jumpers as Denver answered right back with five straight points, and he went five for six at the foul line in the final 69 seconds to close it out. Denver’s previous longest winning streak since the 1976 ABA-NBA merger was 12 straight in 1982. The fran- chise won 15 in a row in the 1969-70 ABA season. “It’s cool. I’m sure a lot of people didn’t think we would get this game, but we talked about having some pride, working hard and practic- ing,” Miller said. “We put in a lot of work to get to this point, so at least we came out and gave a good effort and it paid off.” Ty Lawson led Denver with 25 points. Miller also had nine assists and seven rebounds in 23 effective minutes. Kevin Durant had 34 points and Westbrook chipped in 25 for Oklahoma City, which fell to 30-5 at home this season. The Thunder gave up a season-worst 72 points in the paint — Denver’s specialty — as both teams struggled throughout the game from 3-point range. The Nuggets trailed by 10 early in the second quarter, but then dictated the tenor of the game the rest of the way. “It’s easy to fall into that trap. That’s what they do. They get up and down the court,” Durant said. “Our game is a little different. We want to run, but we want to run off our defense. “Those guys run off of makes, misses of course and turnovers, but they continu- ally run and pass the ball well and they score a lot in the paint. We fell into the trap and we couldn’t play that game with them.” 14 The observer | wednesday, march 20, 2013 | ndsmcobserver.com Sports

Tweety Knight led Paid Advertisement Middle Tennessee with 16 points. The Blue Raiders went only 4 of 12 from behind the arc, hitting one fewer 3-point- er than Dellavedova. “I wish it ended different- ly, but we broke the drought for MTSU going to the NCAA tournament in 20-plus years, so you hang your hat on that,” guard Bruce Massey Jr. said. Saint Mary’s is making back- to-back NCAA tournament ap- pearances for the first time in its history. The Gaels reached the round of 16 in 2010 before losing to Baylor. Not so good last year, when they dropped their opening game to Purdue 72-69. Both teams were No. 11 seeds on Tuesday night. With four starters back and Dellavedova, the school’s career scoring leader, handling the ball and making the biggest shots, the Gaels were too much. With that type of experience, Saint Mary’s is looking for one of its best finishes yet. The Gaels did pretty much what they wanted all season long, except for one thing: Beating rival Gonzaga. Saint Mary’s lost only three times in its last 22 games, all three times to the Bulldogs. Middle Tennessee counted it a breakthrough just to be playing in the First Four — the Blue Raiders hadn’t been there since 1989. They won the Sun Belt’s reg- ular-season title and were ex- pected to win the tournament and their league’s automatic bid, but were upset in the semi- finals, ending a 17-game win- ning streak. They had to sweat out a few days before finding out that the NCAA selection committee picked them over defending champion Kentucky and other basketball blue bloods for an at-large bid. One main reason: Consistency, especially on the road. The Blue Raiders didn’t lose two games in a row all sea- son until their last two tourna- ment games. 18 The observer | wednesday, march 20, 2013 | ndsmcobserver.com Sports

CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jake Weber, 49; Bruce Willis, 58; Glenn Close, 66; Ursula Andress, 77. Happy Birthday: You’ll be faced with emotional issues that must be taken care of before you can move forward. Financial, legal or medical matters must be discussed openly and honestly. Make it clear what you want and don’t give up until you are satisfied with what’s happening. It’s up to you to choose the best path. Your numbers are 3, 7, 18, 21, 27, 36, 42. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Offering an opinion is fine, but refrain from over- reacting. Bide your time and rethink what you really want to say. Impulsive expression will be difficult to take back. Be sure and be kind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t spend unnecessarily. Donating to a cause will leave you short. Offer your services or suggestions. A personal relationship may lead to debt if you aren’t prepared to say no. Stabilize your situation instead of adding to your problems. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick to your game plan. You have lots to offer and plenty to do that will bring you recognition. Express what’s on your mind, but be ready to defend your thoughts. Your insight will guide you, but exaggerating will defeat you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep personal secrets. Build whatever you are trying to achieve before you share your plans. Avoid anyone you feel is unpredictable or looking for a fast route to fame and fortune. Build on solid ground and you will get ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get out and about. Connecting with people from dif- ferent walks of life will get you thinking and working toward a goal that will improve your life. Making changes at home should be based on your gut feeling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Discuss what you want, your plans and your future. Partnerships are enhanced, and making sure you are on the same page will help you move forward without hesitation. An unexpected financial, legal or medical change should be monitored. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not everyone will agree with you, but you must follow a path that leads you toward your set goals. Recognize who you differ from and in what ways and you will know how to move forward with relationships that are questionable. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tie up loose ends and make an effort to update or improve your surroundings. Renovations will turn out better than you anticipate. Contracts, settlements and financial moves can all be made with confidence. Love and romance will inspire you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t wait for someone to stand in your way or disapprove. Take action and make things happen. Emotional issues are bound to arise with someone you’ve been disagreeing with lately. Find common ground or move on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put more into your creative ideas. Share your vision with someone in a position of authority. Your insight and dedication together will persuade others to support your plans. Don’t give in to someone for the wrong reason. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Share your ideas and test them out. Make room at home to accommodate your plans. Having the space to explore new possibilities will lead to a lucrative endeavor. Diversify and you will be able to offer a service you enjoy doing. PISCES (Feb. 19- March 20): Keep your thoughts and feelings a secret, as you are likely to overreact. Give others a chance to show you what’s possible and what’s being offered. When it comes to negotiating what you want, you will win. Birthday Baby: You are imaginative, determined and powerful. You are passion- ate and farsighted.
