Top Ranked Basketball Teams End Game 4-2 Final ?

This is what happens when you don't use common sense and implement a shot clock

#3 Anadarko held the ball most of the game against #9 ranked Weatherford as their game plan to beat them

So dumb!!!

I watched a high school tournament in game in Maine a while back where both teams did the same thing at the start of OT.
Thing went like 4 or 5 OT's cause each team chose to dribble the clock out before attempting a game winning shot.

Wrong info. Weathersford was 19-1, but Anadarko had only 2 wins which is why the played the stall tactic.

A Oklahoma high school basketball game finished with a final score of 4-2 and the footage will render you speechless

Weatherford and Anadarko combined for a total of six points on Tuesday night.

Embarrassing.

If they played the game in regular fashion, Anadarko probably would have lost by 40-50 points and no one would have ever heard about it. Instead, they lost by only 2 with a chance to win at the end of the game and got some publicity to boot. They took advantage of the rules and almost won.

There are ways around it. Play defense, force them to move

When I was in high school in the early 80's, my team and the opponent were both state ranked and we had a huge game at our home court. Our team was more of a methodical, take high percentage shots type, and our opponent was run and gun. There was no shot clock back then. Our coaches game plan was to do a four-corner stall and shorten the game. Basically, all we did was pass the ball from corner to corner. The score was 4-2 at halftime. My team ended up winning the game 26-24. It worked, but made for a boring game. Having a shot clock is a good thing for the game.
