i feel more bad for my M/L wager on Butler

CarpeDime · 04-05-10, 11:03 PM

if that kid had hit it it would have been the greatest shot in the history of college hoops and they would have shown it ad nauseum for the next 15 years.

Chugs · 04-05-10, 11:03 PM

Yeah not to mention after that fade away he just missed to take the lead the possession before...

Yup

I've read about 100 posts in players talk so far basically identical to yours. I'm sure the whole nation agrees with you.

Tough break how he rimmed it.

Hayward choked..

whatsgood5 · 04-05-10, 11:06 PM

Yeah, that's gonna be a tough thing to deal with, gonna be the only thing he can think of for the next few weeks then it'll always be in the back of his head. I wouldn't wish that on any one.

Can you imagine being in his position. We all bitch about losing bets among our thousands of bets yearly and this kid had a life defining moment miss by inches.

It is better that it is Hayward that missed because he is the one guy from the team that will play in the NBA, and it is not a bad play like Chris Webber or Kirk Hinrich almost impossible shot at least the half court one.

tltaylor89 · 04-05-10, 11:22 PM

He would have gotten so much ass from that shit.

Domestic · 04-05-10, 11:23 PM

He won't feel that bad, he will get over it. Its not like it was only an open 10ft jumper or something that missed, it was a longshot with a low chance of going in.

Chi_archie · 04-05-10, 11:24 PM

Plus he went 2-11 from the field..... any one of those other 7 misses goes down.... coulda been different...

at least he is only a soph

Well he also had the shot with 5 seconds left. Wasn't a great look of course, but still a make-able shot.

2daBank · 04-05-10, 11:25 PM

i dont feel as bad for him as i would have for myself if that bitch would have dropped and cost me 3 different parleys....like has already been said wasnt like your expected to hit a shot like that... kid had a great run and will recognize that pretty quickly

This is the one that will haunt him, not the one from halfcourt that had no shot but almost went in anyway.

Good points, I guess you can look at it a few different ways.

Wonder how many of the players will turn to powder after a tough loss?

you have a 1 track mind

Poker_Beast · 04-05-10, 11:49 PM

Damn close, butler played extremely well over the tourny.

iceminers26 · 04-06-10, 12:10 AM

He was pretty much the main reason why they even had the opportunity to play in the title game

Ralphie1412 · 04-06-10, 12:15 AM

Butler is going to be back in the picture the next 2 years big time. These kids will all stay.

Rich Boy · 04-06-10, 01:17 AM

They showed his sister a couple times, not bad...

reverend · 04-06-10, 01:19 AM

he would have been a legend if he hit that shot!

Shortstop · 04-06-10, 01:33 AM

He's on a full ride scholarship and not paying a penny to get a quality education, I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Shortstop · 04-06-10, 01:35 AM

In fact, him missing that shot was a life lesson that he will never forget.

It will probably make him a stronger human being!

OmgUrMom · 04-06-10, 07:40 AM

how can you say its unlucky to miss a half courter? they aren't made all that often and so what? Which kid shot it? I missed the game unfortunately, if its hayward or sumthing he is going to the NBA, why the fukk would you feel sorry for someone that is gonna be making millions and just made it to the ncaa championship as a 5 seed, ridicouluous

saintjames · 04-06-10, 07:44 AM

the better team lost last nite

he missed the last 2 shots, had 2 chances

MilfDriller · 04-06-10, 08:52 AM

If he stays, Butler will be a monster next year... IF their coach stays. They only lose that guy Veasley.

Imagine if they get a real big guy over the summer that they can use to counteract the big boy teams. They got hurt size-wise in the game many times. They were clearly the better team... but so many cheap buckets by DUke and some freaky shit shots that went in... The buzzer sky hook ricochet, the banker by Shitter taht ended up toilet boiling in.

Anyways, doesn't matter. 61-59 for all eternity.
