Another game tonight that seemed like point shaving was going on was the Loyola Game,,,, Loyola won and covered but it seemed like they were trying very hard not too cover
Lets disregard the fact that Loyola blew a 17 point lead..shit happens
Here is how the last 40 seconds played out
-Loyola up 7 with 40 seconds ( Loyola favored by 6 )
-Loyola fouls ( !!! ) Oral Roberts shooting a three..he makes all three FT's Loyola by 4 with 32 seconds
- Oral Roberts intentional foul..Loyola makes both...6 point game with 30 seconds
- Loyola fouls ( !!! ) an Oral Roberts player..he makes both FT's ..4 pt game with 28 seconds
-- Oral Roberts intentional foul..Loyola makes both......6 point game with 26seconds
---Loyola fouls ( !!! ) Oral Roberts shooting a three ( again !!!! )..Jumps in the air and lands on the guy shooting .... he makes two of three FT's ...Loyola by 4 with 13 seconds
-- Oral Roberts intentional foul..Loyola makes both......6 point game with 12
seconds
-- Oral Roberts misses a layup . Loyola player rebounds it and as he is running up the court ( BY HIMSELF ) he steps out of bounds ....6 point game with 6 seconds
-- Oral Robert misses a three..they foul Loyola. makes 2 FT's and covers ( wins by 8 )
Now, Loyola covered..but you see what is highlighted above
Why would you foul the opposing team on three straight possessions (two instances fouling a three point shooter) when you are winning by 6 with under 40 seconds ???
The same kid who committed two of those fouls is also the one who "stepped out of bounds" Hmmmmm
