Sneaky way for an inferior team to milk clock: just let the ball bounce around for 5 seconds after a made bucket by your opponent before you grab it for the inbounds pass.

Ran out of basketball smarts: Gave the foul with 12 and 7 seconds remaining on the shot clock on consecutive possessions.
That missed three for Louisville that would have brought it to 4 (with 90 seconds left) was HUMONGOUS. It was a good look and if that goes in, everything is completely different.

And another disaster of an inbounds for Minnesota. Lucky to not have lost that one, too. This one is in the books, though.

Holy crap. Yale just ice ice cold from deep. 4/30 from 3. Chance upon chance to be right back in it and they just can't buy a shot.

Yale got it down to 3, but they're going to fall short. That wasn't a 3 vs 14 quality difference, but Yale was cold from deep and their big star came up small.

Unbelievably small. He singlehandedly destroyed Yale's chances. Tough game for him, that is really a shame.

Yale has missed 11 3s in a row. Not going to pull an upset like that.
Oni absolutely killed Yale today but fortunately Bruner and Copeland were able to lead them back for the win...……...



















I mean, the Eeeeeeasy cover. :)

Much like Yale carried a ton of public sentiment weight I can see the same happening with Wofford who is actually favored along with the public wagering support.

Wofford is ready, though. They aren't cerebral like those Yalies. They won't think, they will play. They will win.

Refs still trying to help N Mexico. This has been poorly officiated, but it would be awesome if New Mexico can win.

Speaking of officials......they are doing all they can to help Michigan State here and it's still tied at 23.
