    What about one basket from 1:20 to the wire? I pushed the 2nd half over due to 1-5 FT shooting and the teams can't even get a shot up, let alone drive and let the other team score. Both teams also were in double bonus. It feels almost like a loss.

    Exactly. It got middled. The scoring hurried up, then suddenly stopped.

    Just a very "sharp" total.

    What would be the point in middling it? If your gonna fix something just fix it one way then you can focus on pounding the over or under and then ref / play the game accordingly. Can you imagine how difficult it would be trying to ref a college bball game to get the total to land on 138-139 when most of these kids don't have two brain cells to rub together? I do agree plenty of fixing does go on but some of your 'theories' are just ridiculous when thought about in a practical sense.

    My play on this game was under 75 2nd half. It won, but it shouldnt have even been that close. Refs were totally out of control the entire 2nd half, especially down the stretch. Both teams should have scored somewhere in the middle/low 60s

    Yes as on a Saturday with 100 bball games on there are going to be a few that fall right on the number.

    And the way it happened? You don't find that the least bit shady?

    Coin,

    The real mind F really was what was the Baylor point guard doing continuing to attack up 20? It had nothing to do with officiating. In that sense, I could have had a horrible snakebit loss but at least I pushed. Can you explain me something crazier? Why was Arkansas pressing Missouri down 30 for the last 7 minutes of the game on Tuesday? I had the under there and it was just insane.
