  Now a 2 point game with 0:45 left, wow

  Jesus NC State
• Terry_Tate

  

  St. Louis is pissing me off with fouling since 3 minutes to go. NC State must have missed 10 free throws since they started though, so it's working.

  Overtime would be futile for State. They have no chance to last another five minutes.
• wildcats20

  

  And 1!!
• dlazz

  WOW
• Mulva

  

  Holy shit haha. Unbelievable.
• ernest_t_bass

  

  Fucking Christ. I have nc state too.
• dlazz

  Might as well foul them here. It's worked so far.
• wildcats20

  

  ACC Player of the Year doesn't even get a touch? Yeah, State ain't winning.
• gut

  What a comeback....free throws are the achilles heal for a lot of teams, even with the double bonus.
• Mulva

  

  I mean, obviously you want the ball in Warren's hands, but that was an open mid-range J. Can't complain about the look.
• reclegend22

  

  N.C. State makes 25% of its free throws in the second half and they win in regulation.

  That's one of those really gutsy coaching decisions most guys won't make. You've lost two players to fouls, and have to figure guys are gassed fighting back from 16 down.
  
  Probably should have gone for the win in regulation. We'll see.
• Azubuike24

  

  NCSU is a huge favorite in OT...

  I also look at N.C. State having just played less than 48 hours ago. Also, being an ACC fan, I know that State is never a favorite.
  
  I hope they pull it out though.
• Mulva

  

  Warren needs to go get the ball.
• reclegend22

  

  This is what N.C. State does. A bunch of fucking Darius Washingtons.
  
  Come on. Play with some pride.
• ironman02

  I should've never picked State. Worthless fucks.

  Welcome to N.C. State basketball. I hate those assholes. They'll fuck you every time.
• dlazz

  The C stands for CRAP.
  
  LOL
• Azubuike24

  

  Then again, Gottfried, whenever people have expected him to do something at Alabama or NC State, he's disappointed. His only run was 2 years ago where they actually surprised people as a double digit seed.
• dlazz

  Should've been a travel there.

  I've never been a believer in that theory. The NBA has just 48 hours between games routinely in the playoffs. I didn't play college bball, but at that age you really don't need 48 hours to recover. I know some of the games can get pretty physical, but it's nothing like football.
  
  HS and college kids are playing basketball 5+ hours a day, every day, in the summer. I know it's not the same, but they should be fully recovered after a day.
• gut

  LOL, I picked St. Louis in both of my brackets
