Recap: 0-1
Record: 18-11
Review: When you lay a high number with a heavy Fav the W or L often comes down to what kind of coach the play AGAINST team has when down by double digits and the game clock is turned off.
There's the "Just dribble it out the final seconds and let's get out of here" or the "I TEACH MY GUYS TO NEVER QUIT!" type of coach who has his players foul when down by 20 pts.
I had DePaul -20. They're winning by 22. Game clock turned off.
Nineteen seconds left and Loyola doesn't dribble out the clock.
They shoot. They score.
Oh well, a Push instead of a W.
NOT!
Up by 20 pts DePaul fouls the shooter. He hits the free throw and I get tagged with a 1 pt loss.
NEXT!
This play is trouble. I had two 31-22 plays to choose from on NP Over yesterday.
I 'capped in the morning as usual, then got busy and forgot to buy and post.
Both went Over. This puts me in the spot I dread - taking a play the day after I didn't buy it and it won (33-22 now.)
But WTH, let's close out the year with it anyway.
