gotta bring it up. It was a true 'wallet-buster', heartbreaking finish to a game that should have gone OVER 161 EASILY!
we've all been watching these games, and how they finish - almost EVERY team plays hard til at least the last 30-40 secs, and then quite often if the lead is
so large, they let the last 20 secs tick off... but not in THIS game.
Xavier was playing hard the entire game, and then at the 1:40 mark, the total was sitting at 156, 5pts to tie, 6 to win.. should be simple, foul a few times for FTs,
score a few times, just run and shoot and play for another minute and it goes Over EASILY.. but,they just STOPPED... wtf???
Xavier made NO Effort to defend, made NO effort to stop the clock, standing as ILL stood watching the clock drain down.
Only THREE points scored in the Final 1:40 of that game, I guarantee it's the fewest of ANY game in ANY of these tournaments, and they didn't even TRY...? wtf?
yes, it was my largest wager of the day... Loss
yes, it was the only loser in a 4tm parlay to win 12u... Loss
I just don't get it... the most irrational thing I've seen in these tournaments, didn't make sense, and cost me a BUNDLE!!
am I the Only guy that feels this way?? I've been doing this 40 years, I'm not just upset that I lost a bet... I've lost Thousands of bets.
But this one reeeallly hurt, and it reeeallly smells fishy!!!
