This. I think it was OSU-ASU in the 70s that I watched that finished 18-16 or something like that. Watching 40 minutes of 4 corner offense was AWESOME!He_Needs_More_Time said:

According to Harvey Road this year College Basketball was good and not a dreckfest.......dhdawg said:Miller got outcoached which didn't surprise me one bit. But I picked Arizona because of the region, Ryan made his first final four in 13 years, that shows how much of a dreckfest it really was

Up until recently it was why HS basketball games were sometimes so boring as teams would fucking stall it out. You'd see final scores be 14-12 in overtime. Who wants to see that nonsense?PurpleMicrodot said:

the shot clockPonzi when he still had money to gamble. -
Until a few years ago, high school basketball in Washington didn't have a shot clock. One year my high school played against Bethel (eventual 4A champs). Because we were so outmanned, we passed the ball around for minutes at a time unless we got a lay up. We lost 31-25. The game was tied at 12 at halftime. Fucking dreckfest I was embarrassed to be a part of. Every level should have a 24 second clock. 35 is way too long. It's for the good of the game.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Edit: Didn't see your post about the 14-12 double OT thrillers.

I still think that Creighton was a good team ... but they ran into a team that posed a bad matchup for them and played about as well as they could play that day. A complete buzz saw. I definitely missed on that one.
In hindsight, the Wichita St loss by Kentucky is great for the moral victory column in showing that Wichita St was more contender than pretender.
It's what we love about the NCAA Tournament in that it is 1 day, 1 game, and anything can happen. It's what got us to a point of having a 1, 2, 7, and 8 seed in the Final Four.
But at the same time, it also hurts the team that either didn't play it's absolute best or runs up against a team that played at the top end of its range. One of the things that makes the NCAAs so dangerous is that there are teams like Baylor every year where their ceiling is towards the top but is so inconsistent that they end up with crappy seeds (which they earned).
Winning a national championship requires skill and luck in avoiding some tough teams and teams playing well above their head.
It's amazing the road that Florida has taken to the Final Four and possibly the National Championship game: 16-seed, 9-seed, 4-seed, 11-seed, and 7-seed.
