I won because I bet on teams I don't like so there's a silver lining.brian wrote:That one shot made three Swampers some money. I had Nova at a variety of 12 to 1 to 5 to 2 to win the tournament and cleared about $500. MrD had some money on Nova he's welcome to disclose if he wishes and RamsFanny had the over which only went over with that shot.
Re: Final Four 2016
Ah, that makes more sense you going to LaSalle and all. I don't care about them one way or the other, but I just had a hunch after the first round that they had a decent shot, especially with MSU out. So I loaded up on the futures bets a little at a time as they rolled through the tournament.

Re: Final Four 2016
When Paige kicked his legs out, Reggie Miller style, on his shot, and I saw the Ref's arm go up, I thought for sure he was going to get an "and one" to win the game.
Jay Wrights reaction was awesome.

"Bang"....he knew it was in when it left Jenkin's hand.
And the only other Finals buzzer beater I can remember is Lo Charles in '83.

Re: Final Four 2016
There was still like two or three seconds left on the clock when it went in. Houston just stood around in shock and didn't call TO.DaveInSeattle wrote:And the only other Finals buzzer beater I can remember is Lo Charles in '83.

Nah. One second. Nowadays they woulda put some time on the clock, though.brian wrote:There was still like two or three seconds left on the clock when it went in.

You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Final Four 2016
Yeah, that was before they automatically stopped the clock at the end of games, right? I'd call that a buzzer beater considering.A_B wrote:Nah. One second.

Re: Final Four 2016
Yeah, splitting hairs to not call that Lorenzo Charles bucket a buzzer beater.

Re: Final Four 2016
I'm not going to fight about just saying it wasn't an according to Hoyle buzzer-beater. Far as I know this was the first one in a title game, but like I said my knowledge only goes back to the 70s.

Technically, every basket that counts is a buzzer beater.
Re: Final Four 2016
UConn women are so, so dominant. I wonder how their reserves would do as a stand-alone team in the tournament.
