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.

  Regardless, N.C. State never had a chance in overtime, whether they were tired or hadn't played a game in five years.
  
  This team is notorious for choking and tonight was no different. The momentum had switched and it didn't matter if Saint Louis was down to one player, they we're going to win in overtime.

  lol...missing free throws every way possible
• wildcats20

  

  And just like that. Wow.

  Bonehead play. What the hell was that.
• Mulva

  

  Just disqualify both teams and move Louisville to the sweet 16.

  The basketball gods just showed mercy on State. Who wants to bet they don't take advantage?

  This post was clearly an act of reverse psychology. Thank me later.

  It's too bad they have to go to the line to convert a FT.

  They'll miss ft.

  Now make your damn free throw.

  ND St has led like the whole game, and Oklahoma just took the lead 62-61 with 1:04 left

  Maybe they can win in double. Haha. If State was going there. After that last free throw, I've once again lost faith.
• ernest_t_bass

  

  Literally every upset I've had picked had the game won in the waning moments, then fisted themselves. NDSU, NCS, STJ
• wildcats20

  

  And TJ fouls out lol
• ernest_t_bass

  

  17 missed fts.

  You're a fuck up in picking basketball teams and a fuck up IRL.

  You got me.
• reclegend22

  

  Go for two and 2OT when your 26 PPG scorer is on the bench with five fouls. Coaching move of the year.
• gut

  just over a combined 50% free throw shooting in this game....turrible
