That last three screams gambling to me

[Millhouse]

Don't lock this, this is what everyone is thinking, you can't make people stop

Moore fixing gambling? Dude that's definitely not what I thought. Seemed like frustration. Moore doesn't seem like the type -- hard working dedicated kid who is frustrated with his individual play and his team's play. I wouldn't read into it.

To me, it screamed immature hot dog move. I hope it is dealt with accordingly.

Syracuse was getting 16. O/U was 139.5

We lost by 14.

And the 3 didn't count.

No difference between 14 and 11.

I thought it was 14.5 and I thought it counted, sorry about that

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I thought it was 14.5

Covers.com had 16 as the closing line.

I don't know what type any of these guys are

 

[Millhouse]

My mistake, just trying to figure out how someone can do something so idiotic

Someone should've come off the bench to blow him up

even if he was the type, he doesnt play nor impact the game nearly enough to justify getting paid to fix

Don't worry.

Red ordered the Code Red about 30 seconds later.

Lol right, the fix was certainty that Choppa would be in at closing time and capable of making a mad scramble to get the ball and make a heave.

Let's take an Occam's razor lens here - you could see on the previous possession that Choppa played tighter D than normal for the time on the clock and score. He hasn't been playing, so combined with the losing outcome he had some frustration to work out. He saw an opportunity at the end to steal the ball while Clemson was doing a little premature celebration, and since there was a little time on the clock, tried to make a heave.

Or, maybe let's go with Millhouse's convoluted gambling theory, which would also be illegal and endanger the program.

Right.

 

[tbonezone]

i'm just glad it was waived off. didn't change the score and a hard lesson learned. (hopefully)

You don't fix games with makes, you fix them with misses.

 

[dollarbill44]

You don't fix games with makes, you fix them with misses.

This isn't a hard concept to understand. Or, maybe it is.

 

[Scooch]

You don't fix games with makes, you fix them with misses.

Former BC and CCNY players nod their heads in vigorous agreement.

 

[Grbac]

It’s a basketball play with time on the clock. I have zero problems with it. Spare me with the unwritten rules bs.

Convoluted

Why didn't the shot count?
I swear it was off in time, but haven't checked a replay.

You can bet the game at just about any point spread you like nowadays.Of course the more points you get in your favor the more juice you pay but I bet a lot of football games with alternate point spreads.

 

[Cuse99&01]

I'm trying to figure out at what point (time on the clock) or point differential should teams/players stop competing? Cuse was down ~15 points with a little less than a minute left to play, yet they were still taking fouls to prolong the game. Realistically they didn't have a chance to win at that point, yet no one seems to have a problem with that strategy or says anything about unwritten rules applying to that scenario. However, Moore competes until the buzzer (despite no chance at winning) and he is vilified for his actions. I'm not saying that I completely agree with it, but also don't think its as big of a deal that some people are making it out to be. I have a bigger issue with the team/players not competing for 40 minutes.

When the other team has the ball not trying to score and your coach tells you not to foul, that's it. I can't believe anyone wonders about this

It was after the buzzer, I just looked for the heck of it. but I doubt they reviewed
