We laughed first, but may not laugh last. The minute we started mocking them, the boys started shooting like -ics. We can't be overly confident, but 74 won't beat us, they must get 75.
2h line is 69. A wise man might hedge out and go for the 5-6 point double-win(dow). But I'm going to settle in with my box of kleenex and hope I don't need to use it.
One thing you can't turn into numbers (easily) is energy expended. The 1h, even in the first ten scoreless minutes, was pretty manic. I think the teams will have somewhat less energy for the 2h. It should slow down at some point. But we have to be nervous seeing that the scoring was over 80-pt pace in the last half of the first half.
Ends on 133, lose by 1.5. Second ridiculous conclusion of the night. Both ESPN game UNDERS lost on last-second shots. Down 15, fouling with 14 seconds left, why? No reasong, but these types of players don't think about what they're doing.
Let me put that differently. If a good team is up 15 with a few minutes left, it'll usually run out the clock. But the dumb teams will say, the game is decided, now's the time to my highlights on.
