Gambling nerves at the end of Richmond/Temple

[MartinBlank]

Whichever way you played the Richmond/Temple game, it had to be on your last good nerve.

The line was Temple -3.5 or -4 depending on when you got it.

Temple led by 5 with 4 seconds left.

Richmond drives the length of the court and hit a layup instead of opting for a long 3.

They foul Temple intentionally with .2 seconds left.

Temple up 3, with a 1 and 1.

Temple makes 1 free throw.

Temple misses second free throw.

Temple wins 56-52.

Wowzee.

i didnt watch it, had Rich +4, just saw the score after. i didnt know it was so crazy like that. i dont know whether to be extremely grateful that he missed the last FT i just got the push, or furious that they int. fouled and cost me the win...

they had only scored 90 pts in 32 minutes before,
what made you think they would get 27 within 8 minutes.

they put up 54 in the first half and you factor in the fact that the game slows down at the end a lot. With Freethrows and more set plays out of time outs. Fernandez and Gonzalvez didnt get there shots to fall. Fernandez scored 18 but he had so many unlucky shots that didnt fall his way and gonzalvez had a bad game only scoring 9. They were playing a good tempo paced game until the 5 minute mark when Temple started working the clock like crazy I dont mind if a team works the clock just didnt think they would pull it at the 5 minute mark thats still a lot of time left in the game. It should of hit 120 easily the Final score was 108. 115 was the line . Richmond makes 1-5 freethrows thats 112 points ill even tack a point off and say they make 3 of 5 then you have 111 points then gonzalvez didnt putup his load and fernandez got some unlucky shots.

[jayc88]

the under hit and thats all that matters

[suckerforparlays]

under was never in doubt

lol you made it sound like you new it was gonna go under automatically when you didnt even look at the situation in the proper way good thinking man. Yes the under hit. I pushed on that game so I didnt make a big deal a bout it. But dont say something if you dont follow it close enough
