OT for RMU-'Nova! Ran a great play, but missed the lob dunk with .9 left.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:52 PM

I'd prefer to keep with CBS over ESPN, frankly

Overtime for Villanova!

SI

RainMaker · 03-18-2010, 01:54 PM

Refs have Nova going pretty deep in their brackets. I have them going real far in one of mine although I should have known better.

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 01:56 PM

RMU looks like a team that realizes they just missed out on a great opportunity.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 01:57 PM

99-92 in 2 OT for BYU

Its such a shame too, cause they had that game.....

Butter · 03-18-2010, 01:58 PM

Nice job, BYU!

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 01:58 PM

'Nova by 6 with 3ish to play

MacroGuru · 03-18-2010, 01:58 PM

Shocking win for me with BYU. I know the pundits had them picked to win, but they almost gave this one away.

Thomkal · 03-18-2010, 01:58 PM

Damn BYU burns me again. Picked them to win in the first round so many times only to see them lose, didn't pick them to win in a single bracket this year. Argh.

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 01:58 PM

Hell of a game from BYU and Fla. I think Fla proved they belonged in the tournament

RainMaker · 03-18-2010, 01:58 PM

LOL at CBS showing the handshake line of BYU-Florida over switching to an overtime game of a 2/15 matchup.

Florida just doesn't have enough scorers to get it done without Boynton

RainMaker · 03-18-2010, 02:01 PM

Did Nova make a field goal in the last 5 minutes of regulation? Seems they basically tied it on free throws?

Seriously..I was like, "Next slide, please"

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:02 PM

Seriously? 3 guys fouled out for Robert Morris?

SI

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-18-2010, 02:03 PM

Gotta make your free throws if you're RM.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:03 PM

Dang. Scottie Reynolds with the dagger to end it

SI

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:04 PM

For the access challenged, Reynolds hit a dagger of a three, RM answered with a layup, 67-63 Nova with just under a minute left. Timeout

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:05 PM

Meanwhile Vandy & Murray St are back & forth in a 1 point game with 8 minutes left in the half.

I haven't watched a ton of the game, but they look extremely aggressive on D, which, while it got them into foul trouble, also has Villanova more rattled than I've seen them offensively. I really thought their guards could drive against anybody and they struggled all day. Reynolds was 1-14 from the floor before hitting that big 3 a moment ago.

RainMaker · 03-18-2010, 02:06 PM

Game is basically over. Nova will get bailed out by refs on any drive. Hope they switch to Murray State game. They are really good and should give Vandy a good run.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:06 PM

Holy cow that was terrible ... the first ref to make a call was a jump ball, the re closer to the play had jump ball and in comes a ref from half a court away to overrule & call the foul.

RainMaker · 03-18-2010, 02:06 PM

And on cue, refs bail Nova out on what should have been a jump ball.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:07 PM

I guess the refs bracket pool must really pay well, that was Kentucky-esque.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:07 PM

Make up call there but it's not of equal value

SI

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 02:08 PM

holy crap...

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:08 PM

steal & basket, RM back within 1 with 35.5 to play

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:08 PM

Maybe not over yet for Robert Morris!

SI

Yeah, NCAA refs can be bad, but this game has a real fishy feel to it.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:08 PM

Deck is still horribly stacked against them but there's life!

SI

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 02:08 PM

Robert Morris within ONE!

Makes all the bailout calls the refs gave Nova even more awful

Karlifornia · 03-18-2010, 02:09 PM

Bob Morris is one son of a bitch!

Don't speak to soon, I am sure there are more to come. I see a terrible foul and a technical before the end of this game.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:10 PM

Surprised they didn't call that foul intentional ... and charge the RM player with attempted murder for good measure.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:11 PM

Wow- what a great little play to get FTs instead of a dunk

No, don't say "he has stroked it admirably", whichever CBS announcer I forget just said that

SI

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 02:11 PM

HOW DO YOU NOT DUNK IT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:12 PM

C'mon, brick the second!

SI

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:12 PM

HOLY CRAP! NBA 3 at least!

SI

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-18-2010, 02:12 PM

RM will not die.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:12 PM

OMG what a shot, somebody clean the ball it has ass residue

Karlifornia · 03-18-2010, 02:12 PM

LOL wow what a crazy shot by the little guy

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 02:12 PM

Can you imagine Gus Johnson calling this?

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 02:13 PM

I'm sorry, but Villanova just deserves to lose as badly as they've played today. But they're still in the driver's seat

SI

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 02:13 PM

and that's why you dunk it, go up by 5 for certain instead of have to sink 2 free throws. Either way a 1 possession game now

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 02:14 PM

wait.. Nova called time out? Doesn't that put the ball at half court?

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-18-2010, 02:14 PM

RM down 3 with the ball and 10 seconds left in 1st OT.

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 02:15 PM

Damn!

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 02:15 PM

Almost like he was expecting the foul that didn't come

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 02:15 PM

whew, and nova survives.
