March Madness Day I: Florida's end of game execution lacking
The game should probably be over, and I should be 2-2 on my picks, but the Gators late-game execution is about as sharp as a butter knife.
At the end of the first OT, with about 20 seconds left, the Gators ran the clock down and couldn't even get a shot off.
What's good, though, is there's someone on the floor who's matching BYU's Jimmer Fredette (27 points) and Florida's Kenny Boynton (26), who just fouled out. The Cougar's Michael Loyd Jr. has scored 23 points on nine shots.
BYU is now up 4 with 3:30 left in double OT. The margin should be a bit wider, but Fredette, a 90 percent free throw shooter, missed two freebies.
The first big upset of the day is brewing, too, as Villanova just tied the game at 58 on a layup by center Mouphtaou Yarou.
Robert Morris just missed a runner from the baseline with about 30 seconds left, now Nova will get the last shot, which I expect they'll hit. But the uncertainty of that, and the fact that like my limbs, is the reason I don't gamble.
