JOHN GILCHRIST IS THE BIGGEST A__HOLE IN THE WORLD! Up 13 points, 25 seconds left, shot clock off, instead of dribbling the clock out he dribbles up to the free throw line and sinks a meaningless basket that does nothing but ruin my bet. I thought he was a prick last year when he would thump his chest after every basket he made in the 5 minutes a game they let him play. Now, I really feel like harming him. Arrrrrrrrrgh!
OK, had to vent, but now I feel better. I'm sure anybody who had Dayton at -7.5 feels the same way after Stokes drilled the meaningless half-court 3-pointer at the buzzer. At least San Diego State was behind so they had a reason to throw up a shot. Luckily, VCU looked like they were on their way to the cover so hopefully I end up on the plus side tonight. Mason was only down by 3 at the half, so if they hadn't let Maryland slap the ball out of their hands every time they got a rebound, it shouldn't have even been close enough for Gilchrist to screw it up. Without exaggeration, that must have happened at least 10 times in that game, usually right under Maryland's basket where they just grabbed the ball and put in the uncontested layup. When I look at the box score, I will be very surprised if Maryland got fewer than 20 steals. Hard to predict that kind of laziness in protecting the ball, but still almost got it. Hope everyone else had a less frustrating evening......
