The refereeing was pretty bad in the last 5 minutes (I saw two travels against Butler players around the 4 minute mark that were obvious but not called, plus a play where a Cuse player was absolutely mugged for the ball and it wasn’t called either), but Syracuse turned the ball over a lot in the second half and panicked when it wasn’t necessary late in the game, shooting ill-advised shots, especially that Jardin guy. ---

And my bracket, which had been gasping for air this week, has been mercifully euthanized. ---

I know it’s exciting when stuff like this happens, but it’s generally considered poor form to put a spoiler like that in a thread title. ---

You’re right. My bad! It was quite shocking and I needed to share. Apologies!:o
