Why wasn't Fuller taking that last-second halfcourt shot and hoping to draw the foul and make it?
3/17/2012 3:45 AM
sure, with intentional fouling. Fuller is a machine though...helluva finish
3/17/2012 4:46 AM
Fuller is a machine. Note to self.

No, it should not be possible to put up 30 puts in under a minute, even with intentional fouling. I would be stunned if that had ever happened in the history of college basketball. (And I'd send a ticket about it.)
3/18/2012 6:23 PM
You should only send a ticket if you can point to a particular period which seems impossible, not just improbable.  The only one I see is the is the :29 mark, when Fuller gets the defensive rebound, gives it up, and hits a three from the wing, all within :04.  The rest were in :06, which is more than enough time to get the ball up the court and hit a three.  Improbable?  Absolutely.  Impossible?  Hardly.

Edit: And let me add, it would be different if this happened semi-often, but I've never seen anything like this, which make me think it was a fluke.

Even the way that literally only one second elapses time after time on the intentional fouls. Come on.

If you can point to even one time where this has ever happened in real life, I'll concede the point. I think it's ridiculous.

Crazy, but something like this happened in one my games this year as well. It was 27 combined points in the last 59 seconds. My opponent's stud guard hit 4 threes in the final minute (while l was double-teaming him).

Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't happen.  Isiah scored 16 points in 90 seconds all by himself IRL.  Don't you think if HD was around before that, people would be stomping their feet about it?

I think Tracy McGrady scored thirteen points by himself in 35 seconds in one game.

Don't forget -- 10 worlds with 50+ seasons in each, etc etc: we've all seen far more HD pbp's than have happened in real life college hoops, ever.  Each day that goes by, it becomes more and more likely we'll see something that *could* happen in RL but never has.  In fact, it's currently more likely that a highly improbable but still possible event has happened in HD, then in RL...

With intentional fouling and one team sprinting and heaving 4 x 3pt's, I think its possible.  Plus the team behind got fouled driving the ball up the court 3 times.  Improbable, but possible.

Some crazy stuff has happened in real life:

"Anderson vs. Lees-McRae, 2009 Division II Regular Season Game

Brandon Young (Anderson): 12 points, 22 seconds

Down 87-80 with 22 seconds left, Brandon Young made it rain with four straight 3s on four straight Anderson possessions, including the winner at the buzzer, to lead the Trojans to a shocking 92-91 victory. Watching this was easily the most excited I've ever been about Division II regular season basketball." --- 16 points in 22 seconds.

Jeff, I'm really not interested in your well-reasoned logic. It's no fun.
