10-0 in 29 seconds...how does that happen?

It was a comedy of errors. Missed free throws, balls dropped out of bounds, in-bounds passes thrown DIRECTLY TO THE OTHER TEAM UNDER THEIR BASKET...

I mean, dag. It was something else.

Remember the UMD/Duke meltdown 10 years back?

UVA just one-upped them a few minutes ago. That was a BRUTAL 29 seconds.

Being a lifelong die-hard UVA basketball that was easily this is easily the worst feeling since Dan Dickau's buzzer beater against us in the tourney. I attribute most of it to Sammy Zengliski, I don't know how one of the better shooters and smarter players in the league misses 4 ft's, fight for a rebound with his own teammate and dribble it off his teammates foot out of bounds with 13 seconds left, and miss that pass, albeit it was a bad pass, but still very catchable. They performed better than expected this year when we lost to Mike Scott, but that is just a terrible note to go out on.

I had Miami in that game...Stopped watching it so that I could see the end of the Pitt/UCONN game...Had no idea Miami did that until I saw highlights a little later.

With all of the bubble teams that have won today, and with the epic egg they laid...I think they get one of the LFI games, at absolute best.

I agree...I personally feel they are out but they are right on that borderline.

But you can't be on the bubble and then lose by 20+ points to another bubble team and expect to be in the tourney.

    • Did we ? You can’t possibly know that. Apparently, Elias got a player he thought he could fix.  Sorry but I just don’t think Rogers is as good as Irvin with his diminished stuff. I think he’s essentially a throw away. It would be wise to extend Eflin now while we still can. That way the resources used to get him can actually provide some long term value. Dominguez was an ok pickup…I don’t hate the deal. Problem is we needed a closer and he’s isn’t that. Thankfully Bautista is returning and will push him down the depth chart a slot or two. Soto ….Agreed, you bring him back if you can’t find a better option. I expect them to keep him. Otherwise, giving up Seth Johnson with our minors pitching quality shortage looks like a bad decision  Eloy didn’t cost much …. My general thought is pick ups like him didn’t matter beyond how you grade those acquisitions on a team that “Really Wanted to Win”. I question this because none of the guys that we picked up where having good seasons elsewhere. My thoughts are the same for Rivera …. He was a 563 OPS in Miami but got hot here and was a .948 here. His career OPS is .676 so his stint here is probably not repeatable. His projected arb number is 1.4 million so they likely keep him around as a piece and he’s young enough that maybe the change in scenery caused the light to come on.   By the way … here’s a piece from Roch about sone of these guys.   https://www.masnsports.com/blog/taking-another-look-at-orioles-roster-decisions  
    • This has to count as one of the, if not the, biggest choke in ALCS history. Up 5-3 with two outs and no one on in the ninth, after you came back from 1-3 in the eight, with a chance to put a lock on the series.
    • Reverse jinx works again! 😆 🥳
    • Clay Holmes' agent could have used the season ending a good couple months ago. It was nice seeing a chink in Luke Weaver's armor.    Gunnar Henderson v. Anthony Volpe is kind of a centerpiece of Mike Elias mostly out-General Managing Brian Cashman the last half decade, but Luke Weaver v. Craig Kimbrel is not a good chapter and flipping those two guys might have changed the 2024 division.
    • I have all sorts of credit cards that charge interest because they provide me with tens of thousands of dollars in free interest. That said, I never pay interest, because I always pay off the balance each month. 
    • My friend and I each had flex plans. Him $2500 and me $1300. Neither of us renewed. Are schedules are too difficult to commit to a set plan and the lack of perks for the lower-tier set plans and flex plans make it not worth letting the Os earn the float on our money. 
    • I was going to post Ride the Lighting from Metallica but decided not to. I now regret that decision.
