When Not To Storm the Floor

This will go down into the STF Rulebook as example #1 of how not to storm the floor. If you haven't heard about this by now, here is the run down. Arkansas Pine Bluff is at home and trailing fellow SWAC competitors Texas Southern by three points only a few seconds remaining. APB tosses a desperation shot from quarter court and hits it, knotting the game at 68-68 with no time reaming and the exuberant fans stormed the floor in celebration............of a tie.

The floor storming resulted in a technical on the Golden Lions (APB) and two free throws for TSU before overtime even began. TSU hit both and lead 70-68 before OT even started. And, as you probably figured by now, the free throws ended up costing the Golden Lions, who lost the game by one point, 77-76. We are still awaiting reports to see if the fans stormed the floor even in defeat.
