I've seen similar plays called where the player actually takes more than 2 steps while his hand is cupping the ball. That wasn't the case there. He used the maneuver before launching from a standstill past his defender.
 
I agree. It was pretty ticky tack.

I hate the time between the game ending and my work pool being updated by CBS Sports. Aren't they watching the game? It's one click?!

Wiggins ran away from the ball.
 
I'm trying to think of an alternate explanation for that, and I'm having a difficult time doing so

Easiest bracket ever for Florida now.
 
Shaving your head bald is a great trick for old sports broadcasters- no receding hairline, no gray hair. The perfect crime.

Bittersweet. But mostly sweet.

I think of all the very good to great stanford teams that didn't make the sweet 16 because they got terribly under seeded draws or just flat out choked.... And I think that they would beat this team by 30. Jesus Christ March madness is a fucking random number generator.

I'd take Wiggins...with the Celtics' 2nd pick. What an epic choke job of a game by a top prospect. At least Jabari went down swinging.
 
I made the same mistake yesterday while discussing the draft prospects of Florida's Patric Young, but...
 
The Celts don't have a 2nd-round pick this year.

If I ever meet the douchebag who sings the wretched "I'm Ten Feet Tall" song on that horrible Bud Light commercial, I'm going to rip his vocal cords from his throat with my bare hands.
