OSU's (sorry, TOSU's) Washington is going to be living with that game for a long time ...missing the shot at the end of regulation, missing two key FTs in OT, then missing the final - and open- three that could have forced double OT. Heckuva game for ORU.After I posted above about ORU making 3s, I'm not sure they made another (I'm the ultimate jinx). But they outhustled OSU all game. That dude with the long hair was all over the floor taking the ball away from OSU and was a big factor in the game, and I'm not sure he even scored a point.
The trend of taking a pull up 3 tied or down 1 or 2 is ridiculous. He'll be living with the regret of not driving the ball to the hole for God's sake.OSU's (sorry, TOSU's) Washington is going to be living with that game for a long time ...missing the shot at the end of regulation, missing two key FTs in OT, then missing the final - and open- three that could have forced double OT.

I always liked him, thought he was a great analyst. Don't know or care about his politics. Just appreciated his work calling games. Called the 'Cuse championship game so he still gets air time in my houseDunno. I assume so.
Back in the '70s, ACC games were syndicated. The big Saturday game - usually involving UNC - was always called by Jim Thacker and Billy Packer. They wore God-awful plaid suits, but that's what we had. He was a very good analyst then.
Anyway, Packer got more bitter as time went on. He despised John Thompson and Georgetown. Same with Nolan Richardson and Arkansas. But, I think the Fab Five broke him. Notice a pattern?
CBS let him go on at least a decade and a half too long.
At the end of regulation, it looked like he was following an instinct to step back to the three-point line, which was unnecessary. The slightly exaggerated step might have been the reason his shot clanked off the front of the rim. He had ORU's talented offensive player - but small guy - guarding him. No need to push his body away from the basket while launching that failed attempt over a short defender.The trend of taking a pull up 3 tied or down 1 or 2 is ridiculous. He'll be living with the regret of not driving the ball to the hole for God's sake.
I only saw the last minute or two of the game plus overtime. All I know was I was yelling at him to pass the effing ball. He took every damn shot and didn't make jack. He deserves whatever regret he feels. He earned it.The trend of taking a pull up 3 tied or down 1 or 2 is ridiculous.

It's almost like NBA hero ball isn't good for the college (or lower level) game.I only saw the last minute or two of the game plus overtime. All I know was I was yelling at him to pass the effing ball. He took every damn shot and didn't make jack. He deserves whatever regret he feels. He earned it.
There were three P5 teams as of this morning that had not won a tourney game since 2000. Now there are two left, name them.I was in Vegas about a decade ago and won a trivia prize by naming all of the 15s to ever beat a 2-seed.
There were four of them at the time ... there have been five in the decade since.

Nebraska has never won a tourney game , so that’s one. No idea on #2.There were three P5 teams as of this morning that had not won a tourney game since 2000. Now there are two left, name them.

Me too. Their Tennessee transfer PF is a beast.I'm on the Winthrop moneyline against Villanova later tonite at +225.
I picked them to win tonite and against Purdue in the next round to wreck my brackets early.
All aboard!
I assume they mean as a P5 team? Rutgers made the Final Four in 1976.Rutgers

YupThe NCAA tourney is one of those funny things where you fill out your bracket but always root for the lower seed to win even if it disrupts your bracket.
I love this weekend.
I am not even sure what that means but it's funny@electriccougars: Listening to Avery Johnson call a game is like listening to a toddler on helium recite porn dialogue to the blind.
Sparty, Purdue...Seriously. Laying turds everywhere.
The mildly good news was Wisconsin with a solid win over NC and Illinois looking like a #1. Illinois against a well-coached Loyola team should be interesting on Sunday.rough day for the big10
How coaches don’t have some set plays to break down a zone is beyond me. Sure, you don’t know you are going to draw Cuse - but come on.SD St with some of the worst shooting I've ever seen. I've seen plenty of teams take apart that zone in the past, but they are completely lost.
Ok, my drunk 1 team Clemson will loseCOME ON RUTGERS. Close out my 5 teamer!
Biggest bet I have hit in awhile. Thank you sir.Ok, my drunk 1 team Clemson will lose
