Houston once again passes up an open look and ends up with a crummy shot. Heading to double OT.
Butler with the ball down 1, can get the last shot against Providence.
The remote control was invented for times like this.
Edit: Friars get the stop for the win.

Yeah, the defender wandered into no man’s land (didn’t even make an aggressive move to stop the ball) and left the back door wide open.
Woo Pig! Just got home from watching the Hogs FINALLY win in Gainesville after 27 years. Seriously, I was still in college watching Corliss Williamson when they last won there. Unfortunately we had to leave almost immediately after so we missed the group pic with Coach Muss and the fans. Their remaining schedule is pretty tough but they are in control of their own fate at least, and they're getting hot at the right time. They also have two five star recruits for next year, with a possibility for a third next month. Arkansas is SO fortunate to have Coach Muss right now.
#2 Arizona, #3 Auburn, #4 Purdue, #5 Kansas and #6 Kentucky all lost on the road today. Has that ever happened?
#1 Gonzaga tips off now at St. Mary’s.

Great game. Third higher rated team in the past couple of weeks. And that piece of shit Calipari had his bench walk off with time on the clock.
I forget who the coach was years ago who did this but he said it was to protect his players from fans storming the court.
Roy Williams did it in 2012 (I think) when UNC got housed by Florida St. in Tallahassee. And yes that was the reasoning offered.
I think stuff like this is more common than we think bc many times it goes unnoticed.
Funny story told to me by Tommy Garrick about when he was playing professionally in Spain one year. They lose a road game at the buzzer on a 3-point shot that was clearly after the buzzer. Home crowd is going berserk as they rush into the safety of the locker room. During the fracas the officials are reviewing the play, or gathering to discuss, I don’t recall specifics. They immediately send one of them to the locker room to tell Garrick’s team to grab their stuff and get on their bus to bolt of town. As they are running onto the bus the team hears the announcement that the shot didn’t count and the home team lost……followed by boos and screams he said that were louder than anything they heard that night.
Well here we are with URI falling flat on their face again this season, and the consensus is that David Cox is done after this season. Interestingly both Jeff Borzello and Jeff Goodman have heard Archie Miller to URI whispers, though Goodman says he doesn't think that will happen because Miller could do better.
Often times we assume that to be a D-1 Head Coach one would have some magical knowledge of the game. Can someone explain why there is a 5’7 guard defending an inbounds play with :02 remaining in a tie game?

PSA: Some conference tournaments are underway, so we have daytime basketball today courtesy of the Big South. (9) North Carolina A&T vs (8) Radford tips at 11:30 AM ET followed by (12) Charleston Southern vs (5) UNC Ashville at 2:00 ET. Both on ESPN+.
Beware of Charleston Southern catching a ho-hum UNCA team looking ahead. Same thing tonight with Georgetown against Seton Hall.
Wow, you called it. UNCA led the whole game but couldn't quite bury Charleston Southern. Southern took a 1-point lead with ~24 seconds left; UNCA converted free throws to go back up by 1 with 6.8 seconds left. Charleston Southern misses a three coming back the other way but puts back up the rebound as time expires for the victory. After going 1-15 in conference play.
And the Buccanneers catch Asheville napping as 10.5 pt dogs and +540 on the money line! Up next…..Patrick and the Hoyas!
iUPUI hung in their last night in similar spot. There is historically a strong correlation to the “beyond awful last place team” with a first-round competitive game. The bad team is typically up for their first meaningful game in awhile while they are matched up with a typical .500 team (now that the upper echelon teams now have first round byes) who is looking past them to tomorrow game. It’s these “.500 teams” that aren’t good enough to get awhile with looking ahead past anyone. Georgetown fits the mold here vs Seton Hall to a tee.
Well isn’t that a big oopsie!!! Maybe their keep covering tonight I’ve done well with them lately.
I just found the Sacred Heart-Long Island game on NEC Front Row, and they aired an NCAA Basketball Officials commercial?
Whew Pig Sooie! Hogs avoided the trap with some clutch free throws. Gave up 22 offensive rebounds and got out-shot by 18 and still won! Muss 4 lyfe!
Once Jaylin gets into foul trouble (and/or fouls out) the Hogs struggle so much. I mean obviously, he's a stud but their lineup becomes sooo small. Against Florida he got into foul trouble early so Castleton was able to go bonkers. Without a doubt one of the Hog's biggest weaknesses is size.
Another one, with #12 Little Rock dropping #5 South Alabama in the Sun Belt. I didn't know about this phenomenon, but I'm an instant believer.
KenPom does predictions for each conference tournament and gives percentage chances of each team making semis, finals, and winning it. In the America East, he gives Vermont an 80% chance of winning the conference title. Think about that for a second. An 8 in 10 chance to come out of an 8 team tournament as the winner.

We don't have a dedicated Duke/UNC/ACC thread this year, but it's Coach K's final game in Cameron tomorrow vs. UNC. 6pm on ESPN. To say it will be emotionally charged would be an understatement.
ESPN has Coach K-related coverage most of the day tomorrow. Should be a great atmosphere.
Also, if for some reason Duke gets the #1 overall seed they requested to be put in the Midwest Regional which is in his hometown of Chicago.
The NCAA asks everyone their preferred destination in the event they get the 1 seed. Yes very unlikely.
I can’t believe ESPN didn’t allow more time between games here. K’a last game is about to get relegated to ESPN News and we don’t get to see any pregame.
As a Wake fan - I hate both these teams and wish both would lose. But Duke losing this makes me happy.
