Tonight Wake Forest lead much of the second half and was winning the game with 2 minutes left....then they procedeed to lose by 9 points. NC State actually missed 4 free throws in the final two minutes or this would have been a 11-13 point win after they were losing the game near the end of regulation.
It's unreal.
In the NBA, teams are much smarted and more efficient in the final minute. Even when NBA teams are down like 6-7 in the final minute, they don't start that fouling crap. The fouling doesn't start until they absolutely have to (ex. when the shot clock is turned off). I'm not sure why college kids will foul down 3 with 42 seconds left and crap like that.
