man I get over games alot easier these days but if we just did what Tech did here I would struggle to get sleep in the next few days.

I had flashbacks to 2000 watching this one

 

[jcf817]

Welp. Good for my bracket, but that sucks.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Dammit, my numbers are 9 and 2, almost had it.

 

[Cychl82]

Florida must be really proud of their coach. Somehow beats the Title IX allegations and gets to a Final 4, impressive.

 

[Kinch]

Tech had the ball and a 10 point lead. Wow.

 

[madguy30]

Missed free throws and give up 4 straight 3s. That's a tough one to recover from.

On the one that I think cut it to 6, you could see Toppin put his head down a bit.

Not a full 'body language' thing but that doubt may have started to creep in a bit.

man Texas Tech just crapped the bed down in the last 4 min. That was almost ISU like.
I hate Florida.

 

[MushroomPinball]

It's gonna be an all sec final isn't it? Why would anything nice ever happen?

 

[rosshm16]

Reminded me a bit of the last 4:00 of the 2000 Michigan State game minus the block-charge.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

That’s a rough loss there, gotta make those free throws

 

[NWICY]

Well that sucked.

 

[CycloneErik]

Epic collapse for sure.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

People can scream about conspiracies all they want; Tech blew this at the line - and not just in the final minutes.

They definitely weren't helped by some calls, but yeah, at the line and some questionable choices on offense in general (some really quick shots they didn't need to be taking before Florida caught up)

Same.

I'll likely not see the FF and not much of the title game.

That will be nice haha.

 

[CYedUp]

That’s a rough loss there, gotta make those free throws

also helps when you get to shoot 2x the amount

 

[ClonerJams]

Was rooting for Tech, but that was good for my bracket at least.

 

[AllInForISU]

also helps when you get to shoot 2x the amount

That’s on Tech for not forcing the issue.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Do I have to cheer for ******* Duke here?

 

[Kinch]

Was going to root for bama when Tech had their lead. But thinking about swallowing my pride.
