I saw it coming, but I wouldn't have fired him. He's the best coach they've had in...ever. Being good is apparently enough for THE OSU to keep their football coach...
So with Jimmer on the SI cover, Florida is a mortal lock.
tying BYU to a terrible U2 song.
Gus Johnson just ruined all basketball credibility he has built up over the years by asking if BYU should foul in a tie game with 12 seconds left
Everybody on UConn besides Kemba is absolutely worthless.
It's not out of the question if you can foul a ~50% FT shooter (I think in NCAA you're allowed to foul before the inbounds pass? Seems like a really terrible rule) and you have a strong offense (ideally, you should have a timeout so that you can draw up a good play -- you'd need to be able to score about 30% of the time).
C'mon...you don't even foul a blindfolded Ben Wallace in that scenario.

This.
Never put your team down on purpose in a tie game.
Would you do it if the other team scored on 99% of their offensive possessions but hit only 1% of their free throws? If your rotation ran only 7-deep and everyone had 4 fouls?
I think we've crossed from the ridiculous to the sublime with the hypotheticals.
But I will add that if my opponent somehow managed to score on 99% of its possessions, I wouldn't be in a tie game.
Answer the question, please.
I do not foul in that ridiculous scenario.

Fouling when tied is like going for it on 4th down from your own 22 yard line when the other side has peyton manning. I'm sure there's a brilliant football mind out there who thinks it's a good idea. Probably even a few stats to back it up. But it's still stupid.
As has already been said, it's a bullshit scenario because if a team shot 99% from the field they would have well into the mid 100s... we're talking 140 and above, and that's if they only made 2 point field goals.
So unless we were breaking out the rock and jock 25 point baskets, tree ain't a chance in hell that ridiculous scenario would ever happen.
