Of course they did and paid for it. I explained why. But you keep on spewing the same nonsense in EVERY THREAD that somehow involves me, attempting to hijack it and deviate it to YOUR BS. I explained to you that By shooting at the last possible instant they had about 40% chance of winning outright (making a 2P, didn't need a trey) and still had a 50% chance of winning in OT if they missed the shot (roughly a 70% total prob of winning by following this strategy). The fact that YOU refuse to accept this doesn't mean I have to keep on REPEATING the SAME ARGUMENT over and over in EVERY THREAD which you attempt to hijack. Now let this thread continue. Find the old thread if you want to rehash this.
Stop lying. I never say that winning 12 was THE ONLY WAY for the cats to reach the NCAA's. I did say back then (with 7 GAMES LEFT in the reg. season) that if they won specific 5 of the last seven reg. season games they WOULD ENSURE a bid REGARDLESS OF how they did in the BTT, and ALL THE CRAZY STUFF that could happen in all conference tournaments.
If you find the above too difficult to understand ask someone to explain to you the difference between a condition being NECESSARY and being SUFFICIENT. Yes that's high level logic (probably need a HS education to be grasped).
Winning specific 5 of the last 7 was SUFFICIENT for the cats to ENSURE a bid (regardless of anything they or anybody else did or didn't do).
Winning specific 5 of the last 7 was *NOT* NECESSARY.
In fact the cats made up for winning only 10 when they won two more at the BTT, including Maryland, which as far as I am concerned DID SEAL THE DEAL.
Ask IOA how far they went with 10 reg. season wins.
It's in black and white. You know what you said. You know it. I know it. Everyone here knows it.
Just like we all know how you said UM was stupid to shoot with time left on the clock until it was pointed out to you that the odds of an offensive rebound/put-back are much better than a full court Hail Mary (which is why coaches want the shot going up with enough time for a tip in). And you flat out refused (and still refuse) to address that obvious fact
And you have the
nerve to lecture people about high school level logic? That's laughable.
(But coming from your miserably messed up mind, not one bit surprising.)
You still haven't answered my question to you re: whether the odds of a put-back are better than the odds of a Hail Mary from the baseline. So go throw some stones at your own glass house first before you throw them at others. Either that or answer the question.
The truth, though, is that it doesn't really matter if you answer the question - because nobody here seems to give a damn what you say anyway! I guess I have reached that point with you, too.
You're such a neg-head sociopathic troll, what you say matters to no one. Nobody wants to read your tripe. Most people probably have the good sense to have you on ignore. Me? I should probably do that too. You seem to have burned every bridge possible here with your ascerbic nasty negative nonsense. Why not one more?
