Quote:Even though Marquette guard Junior Cadougan scored a team-high 15 points and three other teammates tallied 13 apiece, none of them were the star of the Golden Eagles' 81-71 victory over Providence.
Providence coach Ed Cooley shields himself from the bat That honor goes to the rogue bat that flittered around the Bradley Center midway through the second half, disrupting the game and sending players, coaches and refs scrambling for cover.
I have been "divebombed" by bats before, it is a very uncomfortable feeling, bats conjure up in some people, the same unbridled fear inspired by snakes and spiders.
This isn't the first time a flying rodent has disrupted a sporting event, Manu Ginobli nipped it in the bud during a home game (I think) at the AT&T Center in one occurrence, ESPN, I must say, did a very good job displaying a video segment of bats changing the mood of a sports event. I remember when he (Ginobli) swatted the bat down and tried to hand it over to a security person, he was so casual about the whole thing, but the look on that guy's face was priceless.
