I had them 2h +4, so all they had to do was lose by less than 16. It was a 4 point game with about 6 to go, but they then unleashed one of the biggest meltdowns of the season. Not only could they not score, they were fouling intentionally down by 14 or more with a little over a minute. Even worse, they fouled intentionally down by 16 with less than THIRTY SECONDS to play.

This intentional fouling at the end of the game when the game is clearly over is getting out of hand, and it only embarrasses the team who is doing it. If you're a college coach you should have enough sense to know when your team is beat, and just show a little humility and accept it. I'm not saying roll over, but when you're down by an assload of points and the shot clocks are turned off, just show some class and accept that you lost. There is no 18-point play in your playbook.

Only a small play for me so I didn't lose a lot, it just pisses me off that these guys can coach a college program and not even understand the game.

I had the over, as you can image watching that game frustrated me too.

What was the o/u? Unlike me, you must have been pretty happy they were fouling intentionally with very little time left. That's one thing that helps overs quite a bit in college hoops. In the NBA they give up on games a lot sooner than the college game.

The over was 61.5 for the first half, they got 62 after scoring like mad in the first few min.

The total for the game was 132. Missed by 2 points for a push, 3 ftw. Both of those teams looked like total junk.

I leaned on WVU but couldn't make it a play cuz they were away.

The main reason I had Rutgers in the 2h was because it was a road game and they were already up 12 at half. I really thought WV would let off the gas in the 2h, and they did. Rutgers would have covered the 2h number if they didn't feel the need to foul intentionally when the game was clearly over.

Gotcha... yeah--it happens and it's frustrating. My leans today all went pretty well I only lost 2 of them but I am hoping the rest of them go well because I actually put money on them haha

Have to agree. Took the +11.5 points and lost even though
I knew WVU was better. Just tough to play against a home team
with a double digit spread.

Yeah, my leans are always on fire but I never have confidence to play them lol. I'm like 5-1 or something this season... I'll be updating the record later tonight. I'll see you on the plus side buddy.
