Nova v. Creighton - Almost an SVP Bad Beat
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2019 9:31 pm
I always feel like I get hosed by Overtime when I play a game.
Had Creighton +9 against Nova. Entire Game, Creighton is in it. Worst trail was 4 points with 8 minutes left, but they quickly brought it to within 2. Creighton was with them the entire game.
Seems like a solid stress free W right?
Creighton *winning* by 3 with 4 mins left.
Nothing happens for 2 minutes... remember I am getting 9.
Nova goes down by 1 with 2 mins left. Now I'm nervous because OT seems like destiny and can Creighton hang with Nova in OT or will they run out of gas?
Back and forth exchange 1 point plays til Nova takes 1 point lead then Creighton ties it with 37 seconds...
Then NOTHING for 37 seconds. No points on either side. We go to OT.
With ten SECONDS left in OT, Nova goes up 10 64-54, so I am now losing by 1 point a play I had locked in sweat free with minutes left.
Creighton hits a THREE with 3 seconds left...
Creighton fouls immediately and Nova hits 2 free throws to bring it to the magic number of 9...
1 second left in the game Kaleb Joseph of Creighton makes a meaningless two point jumper from inside the paint.
Nova wins by 7. I cash it.
Good Wins > Bad Beats.
