First of all, didn’t have to beat a 1 or 2 seed, but that’s not why
Purdue misses a ft that would have put them up 4, then they foul with 6 seconds left when Virginia isn’t anywhere close to getting a good shot off. Normally I agree with fouling up 3, but not when the other team is dribbling around not having a clue what to do. Then of course the missed ft, back tap past half court, the long pass and buzzer beater to tie it. Just ridiculous the things that had to go their way to force ot.
Auburn up 4 uva hits a 3. Auburn misses a ft that would have put them up 3, then with uva just past half court they foul with 1.5 secs left!!! Just cuz you have a foul to give doesn’t mean u have to foul!!!!! Jerome would have had to heave a desperation 3. Then they foul guy on the inbounds. And oh yea, the refs missed a double dribble call on Jerome that would have ended the game ! I mean I can’t even fathom how they pulled that win outta their butts, especially after the Purdue game.
Tonite wasn’t as miraculous, but down 3 with 15 secs left, Texas tech inexplicably has their entire team converge on Jerome in the lane and give up a wide open 3 in the corner. Give up the layup!!!! You’d still be winning with 10 seconds left!!!!
Uva still had to make clutch shots, but they got a ton of help from ridiculous fouls and missed fts by the other teams, and a very lucky non call by the refs. the chances of them winning all 3 of those games considering the score with 20 seconds left is about 1%, if that.
