Anyone lose on Houston?

The one thing I don't understand...you really foul down 7, w/ 0:05 left?

I had Uconn +7.5. And thought the foul sunk me real dumb. Got real lucky. No foul we both cash. Bol in march

Damn that is horrible. I had +8.5 and was furious at the foul with 5 seconds on their best ft shooter. Then when he missed the second I was like Yessssss. When the 3 went down I was thinking wow where was a 3 like that when I need it, but for you to lose on that. Damn man that is horrible. Worst way to lose.

They were lucky to win by whatever, down 10 at the half.

Toler, that's not the point. We're talking about the L5 seconds of the game. Houston controlled the whole 2h.

Thx for the notes, boys. I have very thick skin. This stuff normally doesn't bother me.

Just that this one got to me. How ridiculous is it to foul there, down 7?

I root for everyone. Would have loved for everyone to cash there. -6.5 early, +7.5 and +8 late.

Yup 7 on this game for most of us was the perfect number. We all cash that. I've only had shots like that at the end kill a cover never had it help me win. Even in this case it didn't help me the missed ft did.

But like you said. Down 7 with 5 seconds there is no point to foul.

Pretty brutal!!!!!

I lost. Awful. Didn't even know it until my friend texted me. Bad beat. Houston can f*ck off. Gotta move on.

Thats what every gambler is saying.
We win and we lose the same in these situations; we only remember the losses though.

being down 10 at the half doesn't make them lucky to win.

the game is 2 halves not 1 you was very unlucky if you had houston -7 to -8

Very true, Jay. If u talk to a coach/athlete/gambler...they'll tell u that the tough losses sting 2x as much (compared to the sweetness of a nice win).

mj, I was watching the Play-by-Play. I figured that Conn's score to make it 74-67 would end the game. I mean, HOU was inbounding the ball, up 7, w/ 0:05 on the clock. Where is the magic 7-pt play? Normally losing coach tells his players "No fouls."

I can tell u this. If that's an NBA game, game lands on 7. Players don't foul there. And refs eat the whistle on meaningless buzzer foul.

I haven't won 1 like this yet. Hoefully I will. Not saying I haven't had crazy situations where I won.

And believe me if I did. I would remember it.

Never knew it was 2 halves. I wonder how many thought Houston would still cover at halftime.

Yea bro I know Im just rambling, Im sure Id prob feel the same if I watched the last parts, I watched a little before halftime and switched to another game. I had Houston in a ML parlay, but Nova made sure that didnt hit.
