For non-basketball fans, it was a game that probably did not win the sport many converts. The first installment of Bedlam was not an aesthetically pleasing affair. Neither team could get into the flow of their offense, there were no sustained runs, and Sean Sutton did everything in his power to keep the crowd out of the game -- to the point that he had one timeout left with more than 12 minutes left in the game.
Through all of the ugliness, one hero rose from the crowd. I speak not of Obi Muonelo and his amazing first half, nor Taylor Griffin and his career high 20 points. I am talking, of course, about David Godbold.
