Kansas - Iowa St

[pavyracer]

Anyone watched the game last night? Iowa St. cuts the lead to 81-59 with about 6-7 seconds left. Then Kansas inbounds the ball and races all the way accross the field to score a basket at the buzzard for a 83-59 final score.

If gambling was not involved this will never happen.

Yeah, I'm sure a bench player who hadn't scored in the game and got 9 minutes of playing time wouldn't have tried to score a bucket. Some people need to get a reality check.

The coach controls more of the team in college than people think. How do you think the boosters make up money for their donations?

[donjuan]

By being wealthy in the first place. Otherwise, it would appear you are suggesting that teams with large booster donations do better ATS than others and you should be very rich yourself by now by exploiting this.

I'm only commenting on this particular game. I'm not saying it always happens. It just didn't make any sense the way they run the last play. I'm very convinced that the coach had something to do with it. It looked like Kansas was down by 2 and they needed that basket to tie the game. I'm an ex-player myself and I've never seen something like that happen before.

That same thing happened recently in the Ucla vs Washington state game too where washington state was a 6.5 point dog. The score was UCLA 79-WASHST 74 so Washst was covering by +1.5 point. Washst had the last possession with .20 sec in the game, they fired a three, missed, after several rebound attempts, ucla throws the ball to the other side with .05 sec left and they get the an easy meaningless dunk. Ucla covers by .5 a point. So it is weird how these thing unfold sometimes. Especially when your on the losing end of it.
