  • Saturday Rant w/ Sunday Plays

    The hardest part about capping baskets is that it's a daily grind and the ending of games can go either way. You may have a game capped perfectly but something "happens" at the end. Do they foul, does an underdog shoot a 3 or drive for a layup as time expires? Although I was 3-1 yesterday, here is what I am talking about:

    UConn - Laying anywhere from 5-6'. Tie game with 5 seconds, UConn Napier shoots and the ball goes all around the rim (I think it hit the net) and pops out. UConn then crushes in OT but Memphis scores in the final seconds to get within 5.

    St Lou / VCU - This is more about coaching but St Louis was up 12 playing loose with about 10minutes to go. They decide to hold the ball and continue to shoot with under 5 on the shot clock for about 10 possessions....VCU takes the lead. St Louis gets back to their game and go back ahead and win but not enough to cover the 5'.

    Vandy - With a line of 5, Vandy player hits 1 FT in OT to go ahead by 5. With 7 seconds to go, he misses the 2nd. Vandy gets the rebound and A&M steals it and scores with 0:00 on the clock.

    Baylor - Laying 5 and getting outplayed the entire game. 11 seconds remain and Baylor down 3...They miss a 3, Baylor rebounds, refs do not call a travel and Baylor hits a 3 to tie. They end up winning by DD and covering.

    Just needed to share that as some of that makes you think that it could be like the WWF....Crazy Stuff!

    Totally agree Steve. Happens every single day in CBB. Not so much in the NBA because it doesn't usually turn in to a foul festival. I want to have these same rants daily about either getting screwed hard or getting real lucky. People always say it evens out in the end but in reality it doesn't. They discount the daily stress and wear on a person from shear shock and amazement. It really is unbelievable!

        I had Kan St +5 against Baylor, only loser in a 5 team parlay. Kan St up 2 with 30 seconds left and made 1 of 2 free throws, could have been up by 4. Baylor actually got off 4 shots in the last 12 seconds with the last one being the 3 to tie. How do you get 3 offensive rebounds in the last 12 seconds??? That Vandy and one other bad beat yesterday making me take the day off. GL today

          GL Zeib. I agree with your write up about "something" happening at the end of a game.
