I mean, they got a layup.

After watching the end of this game, I am wholly on board with Chris Beard coaching Indiana.

Given the amount of time they had, that’s probably the poorest end-of-game sequence I’ve ever seen.

Texas Tech missed 6 easy points with their last 3 shot equivalents. Front end FT miss and 2 missed layups. Yikes.

Last 2 minutes was basically a contest of who would choke less

I don’t think I care for Musselman’s schtick

They didn’t deserve it, though. If the plan was ā€œhope your aimless wandering confuses the defense,ā€ then, uh, hat tip to them, I guess? But that’s not going to fly in the Big Ten.

So is the Big 12 overrated now too? Between Texas, WVU, and TTU

what if the Final Four is all SEC? sheeit

Arkansas the living embodiment of survive and advance. Texas Tech blew two layups and the front end with an 80% FT shooter in 90 seconds. Musselman living right

That’s kind of the benefit of not calling a TO. It doesn’t let the defense get set

Is he kind of scuzzy or am I thinking of someone else?

There are pretty much always skeletons in the closet mentioned whenever his name comes up at a big job, but I don’t think it’s known what they are.

His cosplay recruiting photos or his celebrating by himself on the scorers table?

It would be a living hell for a PG having to deal with Jacob Young guarding you from end to end. I know Mike Smith struggled against him for a bit but Michigan won comfortably despite Rutgers trying to make a comeback.

Not taking a time out means the defense doesn’t have a chance to set up and guys start losing themselves in the moment. If you trust your team to get a shot I don’t have a problem not taking a time out. Didn’t work this time but I’m sure there’s plenty of examples of not getting scores out of time outs.

It can’t be right? There’s only 4 SEC teams left and Arkansas would play Florida next if they got by ORU

Pikel’s on there, right?
