Conference Tournaments

I just went to that video link and paused it as the ball is in the net. The clocks on the cubical display mounted above the backboard show 0.0, while the ESPN graphic clock in the lower right corner is showing 0.2 seconds. Thus there is actually a difference of TWO TENTHS of a second between the clocks! Not good. This is going to be a big deal since it could cost Akron an NCAA bid.

The more publicity this thing gets, the more the selection committee might feel pressured to grant Akron an at-large berth.

I think, unfortunately, it may be too late for that. Selection show starts in less than 18 hours; hard to get a sh*tstorm started that quickly, particularly when the event occurs late on a Saturday night.

As a friend of mine said, it would have made things much easier had that been a 2 point shot.
