Akron will try to keep this game in the 60s. I am unsure of how it will all play out but if the whistles are quiet I think you have a winner there. The nimber has been bet up to a very tempting under play.
Good luck today Hawk

If you don't want to know then go no farther but this is an account of how you lost the Akron game.
Game tied 67-67 about 5 seconds left. Akron running the shot clock down, takes a tough jumper that barely grazes the rim but falls directly into the hand of an unguarded Akron player underneath the hoop with nobody within 6 feet of him but the buzzer goes off and a whistle blows stopping play.
The Zebras huddle for nearly 5 minutes and agree that the ball hit the rim and the whistle should have never blown. Akron gets the ball back with 3 or 4 seconds left but instead of getting the wide open putback that would have ended the game in regulation they take a jumper that falls away.
Hello double overtime and a very solid under play goes down in flames.
Sorry for the bad news but wanted you to know that the under was a very solid play and should have cashed. One ref decided otherwise.
