LANG'S LOSER: BOWLING GREEN -1 1/2
Hit a little cold spell here as my 50 dimer on Stony Brook goes down.
Listen, I take my losses like a man but, when the commentators call out a coach, well you know he did something stupid.
Let's set the table: Hofstra ball, Stony Brook down 2 with 40 seconds to go.
The commentators mentioned before the inbounds pass, "There is no reason to foul here. There is a 10 second differential. Play defense, get a stop, win or tie."
Then Stony Brook proceeds to immediately foul on the inbound pass and both announcers go crazy.
One says, "Why would you foul there?" The other says, "I know Geno Ford is a good coach but I don't agree with that decision at all."
And with that decision, so goes the cover.
When you are a heater, you catch every break in the world. When you go cold, every decision is costly and fouling with 40 seconds in the game down 2 was moronic.
Here is where the college hoop run stands:
