Far from a "Bad Pick", at the end of the 1st Half it looked like it would be that ('Cuse up by 10 at Half, Andrew White III shooting out of his mind) but just One Basket on the wrong side of the ledger at End? 90-77 13-point difference vs. a +12/12.5 UNCG?!? Closer to a Razor-Sharp Line than any Bad Pick.
That other investment, money well spent on that Sincere & Serious Supporter of her Syracuse Team. Nice to hear of a young lady supporting Her School, maybe having a higher level of enjoyment for sports than other girls do and immersing herself in the College Experience. Great Investment on your part, IMO anyway.
Damn Freethrows, man. Reminds me of Arizona vs. Oregon for the Pac12 Title just a few days back: AZ's got two Excellent FT shooters who Boink 4 Straight FTs to present that Oregon Duck's Team minus one of their top players a chance to steal that title.
Friggin Brutal when it comes down to missed Needed Freethrows at the very end of a game. Brutal. I was stunned that this line proved to be as Sharp as it wound up being.
Oh God if theres anything "worse" than a Loss due to missed Freethrows on a Side Against The Spread like guy's got struck down by with what should've been a Push or even a 1 point Cover by UNC-Greensboro its watching your Over Bet get killed by Missed Freethrows. Causes even The Saints among us to Rage.
I mentioned the Arizona Wildcats deal cuz to me that was like a "poker tell", them missed Freethrows by those very Key Guys who managed to missed those in that time of intense pressure. Lotta Talking Heads blabbering like: "Zona & Gonzaga with do-able paths to an Elite-8 Matchup, Zags vs. 'Zona then the winner on to (likely) face winner of Duke/Villanova in Final Four which is in ARIZONA which despite being in Phoenix, Glendale AZ Whatever like a Home Game for 'Zona so I really like ARIZONA WILDCATS"
but them missing those Freethrows under that Pressure so as to almost let an Oregon team they'd dominated for 3/4 of that game steal that PAC12 Title really freaked me out. Maybe I am making too much of that, probably. Just wonder if 'Zona gots what it takes to handle the immense Pressure they are under here, Final Four being in AZ.
"Freethrows". Man......
down 7 with two minutes to go
Greensboro finishes going 0-7 from three, and 1-2 from free plus a deuce
Cuse finishes 9-10 from free, nothing else, covers by 1/2 (I had 12.5)
it happens
just when they went down 13 with 20 seconds left, I was hoping one time they would drive to the hoop and take one of those uncontested layups, but instead they simply threw another bad three at the rim (can't call them shots, just bad heaves)
