A&M vs Colorado

Colorado has last shot to win game at the free throw line down by 1, one and one with 1.6 seconds on the clock. Colo player misses the first free throw ATM gets the rebound, gets fouled, coaches start walking to shake hands the refs put .5 seconds on the clock for 2 free throws by atm. Atm player Bennett makes first free throw and tries to miss second and banks it in for the cover.

looked very fishy to me. The funny part the announcers kept saying it did not matter if he made free throws or not. wow...very crazy ending for bb game.

agree that is strange but you can't call that fixed. If it was fixed for the Colorado cover then why put .5 seconds back in the clock? If it's fixed for the Aggies then why is he trying to miss the 2nd free throw? You're starting to see a lot more of things like this because more and more the refs are going back to the replay to see if there should be time put back.

Luckily I had A&M in this one. But guess what? I also had Miami for the 2H. All they had to do was lose by less than 7 and I have to watch them be within 2 with 20 seconds left in regulation and OT but they tie it up both times and then lose by 9 in double OT.

The conventional wisdom is that these bizarre twists even out over time. Very rarely do they even out in one night.

were you watching the game.I was. they went to the monitor and the ref raised his hand for the foul with about .3 or .4 remaining.

The bankshot FT was just bad luck for a CU bettor.

Great shot for me.
