    Backdoor 3 ptr at end of game to beat the -13 spread.

    Why Marquette shot at end of game to give ball back in a blowout instead of running out clock, who knows.

    That hurt.

    I would of been 3-1

    I had them -12.5 I thought they were winning by like 24 or so in second half unless it was a wrong score.

        I almost put a W in my spreadsheet figuring it was a lock

        Bread gambling is real bad, just quit and do things with your wife. I can gamble because I have no one. Bread do the right thing here and quit. I am trying to save you.

        Thanks

          They were up by 24 with 3:50 left. How do you get outscored by 12 with under 4 mins, especially when it's a blowout and you're running clock???

          I might just quit after tonight. Looking at going 1-6, with my only win happening because JJ Redick hit a crazy 3 at the buzzer.

          JJ FREAKIN REDICK!!!

            Hang in there Bread. The Big East has KILLED me this year. But I'm with you. How do you not run some clock? These coaches make no sense at all with their clock management.

                    I had to do a triple take at the score update, then go looking around for play-by-play reports to see wtf happened.

                    Disheartening.

                      The coach doesn't know the spread. He put the bench warmers in and told them to play. You don't run out the clock if you are up by 24 with 4 min to play.

                          You run out the clock if you are up by 6-10 points because you know they will foul if you miss and the spread is around 6-7 points. With the score 24 points up you don't have to run out the clock because the other team doesn't have enough possessions to bring it down to 6-7 and start fouling.

                                    When the spread is above 8-9 points the teams usually do not foul. So you have to take that into consideration when betting on a -12 to -14 spread. You are basically in the mercy of the shooters who being up will not take good shots and will not play defense knowing they won the game and the spread is not a factor in the game plan.

                                                          On the brightside, it wasn't as bad as the USC-AZ game on Sunday. Or that Syracuse-Georgetown meltdown on Saturday. I been on the end of two already, by tomorrow you'll forget all about it with a win.
