    "Rallies" here means that WKU found the fighting spirit to bounce back from a 16 point deficit.

    Yes, thank you.

    I got it when having completed reading the report:

    The only team with a losing record in the NCAA tournament got it started with a classic March comeback — in front of a presidential audience, no less. T.J. Price's three-point play with 33 seconds to go completed the Hilltoppers' rally from a 16-point deficit over the last 5 minutes for a 59-58 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Tuesday night.
