Week 18 Other Games

I was sweating out that Michigan game. They were up 7 in first OT and blew it. I pretty much thought it was going to bust in 2nd OT and then especially when Michigan fouled at the end of the game. Got so lucky the guy missed a free throw.

I lost almost a grand last month when someone missed a free throw in the final seconds (and overall a 12 point lead was cut to 4 when I had -4.5). That was a single bet, not a parlay. Parlays will drive you insane, but they're fun the rare time you hit.

In regulation it was giving me the option to cash out. The highest it got was $140 and i thought about it but then blinked and it was gone. Surprised that in OT it never gave the options even when Michigan was up 7. I've gotten burned on parlays before by not cashing out and then a miraculous come back.

Never take the cash out option, they give you a horrible price. Instead, if you're down to the final leg, just hedge it live yourself. But yeah, sometimes late in games they disable live betting and you're stuck praying.

Purdue vs Wisconsin is interesting. I really should have watched more of Purdue in the OOC, they seem super slow. I can see how Edey would destroy teams OOC though. He doesn't foul but he makes himself really big in the paint (meaning he's already large but his hands are always up on defense and he really doesn't foul much).

Yes, Wisconsin is making Purdue look slow.

I saw the game when they had 10 minutes left. I came back with 1 minute left and I don't think the score changed. Wiscy had just awful plays down the stretch.

Good. Couldn’t happen to a more unlikable team

Agree never rooted so hard for the Illini before. Lunardi will somehow still find a way to get them on his 68 but in the meantime watching Dickinson cry makes my night, any night!
 
Surprised Rutgers is still considered a lock for the tournament. Lost 5 of their last 7 including home losses to Nebraska and Michigan, and the loss to last place Minnesota. The B1G is just a messed up conference after Purdue. 11 teams between 8-11 and 11-8. Lunardi has Wisconsin and Penn St in the dance at 8-11 and 9-10 respectively, and Michigan out at 11-8. The committee will find spots for 9 or 10 B1G teams. They can make them all 10 or 11 seeds, so some will be scattered amongst the 7, 8, and 9 seeds.
 
RU should hang a banner to commemorate the most epic collapse in college bball in 2023.

Yes, let's steal wins away from teams deserve them because the refs stink.

This makes the assumption the refs land on the right call more often than not... which is dubious.

Sports and referring has a human aspect to it, I'd much rather live with a handful of blown calls than constantly interrupting the flow of the game, the crowds momentum, etc. for three blind mice to rewind the same play 432 times over the course of 10 minutes just to arrive at the original conclusion - inconclusive.

That was absurd. End replay in all sports.

I've said this endless times - if you have to review replays for more than a couple minute - how can it then by definition be conclusive in the vast majority of cases?
Expand ...
Exactly. If it’s not clear the first 2x u watch it call stands and move on

Except that Mich St already has a stranglehold on that from last weekend when they lost a 13 point lead with under a minute to go

It was more about RU hanging any banner they can get

I am 1000000000000000% certain Minnesota would have lost that game if there was no replay.

A&M is now 22-0 when holding opponents under 66.
 
So now with a Creighton win we have Providence round 1 correct?

How the heck does Tsheibwe not get ejected from this game - Go Arkansas!!

Tshiebwe gets away with murder. Another elbow to the head. Geeze. Should be his 2nd Flagrant 1. Or the first one should have been a Flagrant 2 and he already would have been out of the game.

Don't know how he's still on the court.
 
I was supposed to be in East Longmeadow, but it seems now I won’t be. So the Kansas at Texas game is on tap in 50 minutes.

Small correction, no bye. It's 3 seed vs Nova
