I've said, pretty much since the get-go, that I felt 40-0 was a fait accompli, and that Kentucky becoming the first team in 40 years to go perfect to the title would end the college model.
So it's now about 3 hours after one of the largest upsets in the history of college basketball, and we now have a problem.
The tying basket which Wisconsin scored to make it 60-60, according to Yardbarker, was probably illegal on a shotclock violation.
And it wasn't... even... close.
I had always believed, especially with UCLA's charmed life, that Kentucky was going to get all the help it needed, but then I forgot about something...
In 2010, the NCAA, Turner, and CBS signed what this article called "a move expected to shore up the long-term financial health of college sports" when they agreed to a 14-year NCAA tournament contract which would give the NCAA $10,800,000,000.
Hmmmmmmmmm.....
The fix was in on that game and many more this season. Read all about the game-fixing scandal at http://sportsfraud.blogspot.com or Google sports fraud blog.
ReplyDeleteWisconsin also had a three-pointer taken away at the end of the first half. I remember the shot, and it seemed like the guy was over the line. I never saw the replay again after they took a point away, though.
