You know what made that great ending possible ? Not going to an idiotic review after Furman scored to see if the clock was correct at 4.3 seconds. Can you imagine if they did a clock check and ruined that ending ? I can't stand the damn clock checks for a couple tenths of seconds in situations like this.

Thank god they didn't do it. I am shocked they didn't call timeout with just 4 seconds left the guy catches the ball and goes all that way and gets a look. They didn't even throw the ball ahead very far. Crazy.

LSU Receives Notice of Allegations for Violations Within Men’s Programs
Tigers men’s basketball coach Will Wade could face strong penalties and a subsequent dismissal, but the school’s next steps remain unclear.

LSU has received a notice of allegations regarding its men’s basketball program, sources told Sports Illustrated on Tuesday, a major step in the process of resolving an infractions case that dates back to the 2017 federal investigation of corruption in the sport.

LSU officials did not acknowledge receipt of the NOA when contacted by SI on Tuesday. The NOA originated from the Complex Case Unit of the Independent Accountability Review Process—the so-called off-ramp for more complicated and contentious NCAA investigations. If coach Will Wade is charged with a major violation, he could be terminated with cause, according to a contract amendment he agreed to in April 2019. Wade’s attorney, Steve Thompson, did not immediately respond to a call from Sports Illustrated.

In 2017, Wade was caught on FBI wiretaps with aspiring agent Christian Dawkins discussing a “strong-ass offer” for prospect Javonte Smart, who went on to play three seasons for Wade at LSU. Dawkins recently reported to federal prison in Alabama to begin serving an 18-month sentence on bribery and conspiracy charges. Former Adidas executives James Gatto and Merl Code also are serving time for their roles, and several former assistant coaches were found guilty as well.

On an HBO documentary called The Scheme, which profiled Dawkins and the case, featured wiretapped audio of Wade saying the following: “I was thinking last night on this Smart thing. I’ll be honest with you, I’m f------ tired of dealing with the thing. Like I’m just f------ sick of dealing with the s---.

“I went to him with a f------ strong-ass offer about a month ago. F------ strong. But the problem was, I know why he didn’t take it now, because it was it was f------ tilted toward the family a little bit. But I mean, it was a f------ hell of a f------ offer. Hell of an offer. Especially for a kid who is going to be a two- or three-year kid. I’ve made deals for a lot of players who are as good as him that were f------ a lot simpler than this.”

Dawkins’s on-camera interpretation of Wade’s comments: “They ain’t talking about a scholarship offer, bro. One-hundred percent talking about money.”

The combined football and basketball cases increase the chance that LSU will be cited for a lack of institutional control or failure to monitor in the notice of allegations.

Northern Kentucky led 57-41 with under 12 minutes to play. Wright State is now on a 28-8 run to lead by 4 with 3:35 left.

The amount of big time shots you get to see over the next 3-4 weeks never ceases to amaze me.

It’s like there are magnets on the ball and hoop.

NKU and Wright trading blows under a minute. Norse get the ball with 10.5 down 1.
