The game's tied, silly. DON'T FOUL!

Some of you West Coasters might have seen the end of last night's preseason NIT game in Tucson, Ariz. UAB was leading Arizona most of the night until a late second-half comeback brought the Wildcats to the line down two with about 30 seconds to play. The free throw shooter misses the front end of the one-and-one, but the 'Cats get the rebound and the put-back to tie the game. That's when the fun begins. This is unreal.

What was the spread? They got two shots AND the ball for the second foul...even better.

Is it just a coincidence that the two mongoloids are named Fogg and Horne?

I'm glad that this is a product of that cunt-move fouling strategy. That video is 7 minutes long and it's probably missing 3 minutes of commercials. So it took at least 10 minutes to play the final 30 seconds.

Doesn't anyone think that's a problem? They should make it so that a second foul in the last minute is two shots plus the ball...throw in that the fouling team can't then take a timeout unitl they advance the ball to halfcourt.

Otherwise, they should make the fouling carousel a game in itself. Put 1:00 on the clock, flip a coin, winner gets the ball and a 6 point lead.
