[HoopsTournament]

4th OT of the round. Ties record for most OT's in the Round of 64.

 

[HoopsTournament]

I am not sure how I am going to stay awake for the rest of this.

 

[CycloneErik]

Oh, man, OT.

As Colonel Mustard said in Clue, "My heart just can't take any more scares!"

Then a chandelier fell behind him. I so want to find that clip.

Here we go

NM State trying to do what Manhattan couldn't...hits a 3 to force OT in the last of day 1 game. 13 vs 4 seed has been almost as dangerous as the dreaded 12/5 today.

 

[Jordanj6502]

I think Bhullar got called for a foul just because he is too big.

 

[CycloneErik]

Clutch 3!!!

 

[CycloneErik]

Every time it looks like the Aggies are done for, they grind out more points.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Tournament Record for most OT Games is 7. Set in 1995 and tied in 1997. Already have 5 in this tournament. 2012 and 2013 each had 1 OT game.

Just fill out a bracket with teams you want to win? Or intentionally make picks that are extreme... It helps you not take the bracket so seriously.

I do a little of both, along with making what I think are "competent" picks. I don't agonize about the bracket too much, but first couple of days I'll groan a little in a fun way when I've missed a game or two.

Usually, I'd rather choose a few long shots and get them wrong than playing it too safe and having a favorite bounced.

garbage late game shot attempts by these teams

 

[Jordanj6502]

Tough break there for New Mexico State.

 

[CycloneErik]

Please be a four point play.

 

[CycloneErik]

Don't fall down on D, kid.

 

[Jordanj6502]

Tough break there for New Mexico State.

I guess officials saw their mistake and attempted to correct it by giving them the ball.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Been a rough night, ran out of beer 6 hours ago

 

[Erik4Cy]

Tough break there for New Mexico State.

didn't get the foul but got the ball and easy 2. could've turned out worse. the guy did take a fadeaway 3 from 5 feet behind the arc.

SDSU is horrible at FT's.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Here we go (again.) Gonna be a one possession game
