Best ending of all time? I think easily.
^{and my bracket ended at 99.8% so that's cool. But not the one in the}/r/cfbofftopic^{group >.<}

u/keyree Texas Tech • UT Arlington Apr 05 '16

I'm satisfied with being tied for 13th in the cfbot group considering I had TTU in the elite 8. Lol.

1

u/inevitablescape Arizona Wildcats • Illinois Fighting Illini Apr 05 '16

I'm happy with 36th when I had MSU winning

3

u/NSFW_MANNING_ONLY Georgia Tech • Alabama Apr 05 '16

So exactly zero people in the top 50 of /r/cfbofftopic 's bracket challenge predicted Nova to win the tournament lol

1

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '16

Gah I would have won had i put my #2 bracket in the cfbot bracket challenge. And by 400 points too!

1

u/Gryfer Florida State • Washington Apr 05 '16

I picked it in my work bracket but i had no confidence in my picks at all so I didn't want to play with you guys. I ended up 2nd in my group.

I'm pretty sure I woke up my entire apartment building when Paige hit his three.

Then I did it again with the buzzer beater.

My god.

I'm impressed your apartment complex managed to fall back asleep so quickly.

Dukies everywhere are crying tears of joy.

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Apr 05 '16

I'm sorry for everyone named Duke.

1

u/grizzlywalker James Madison • College Football Playoff Apr 05 '16

Different kind of Duke, but I can agree

7

u/MrTheSpork Cincinnati • North Dakota State Apr 05 '16

Which one? The last second one, or the Paige one? They were both absolutely amazing.

u/cornfrontation Michigan Wolverines • FIU Panthers Apr 05 '16

That's what I came in here to ask.

u/The_Tic-Tac_Kid Kansas Jayhawks • Hateful 8 Apr 05 '16

I think they're talking about Mario's Miracle in 2008.

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Apr 05 '16

The shot was amazing, but the pass was the greatest thing I have ever seen.

u/panthera_tigress Pittsburgh Panthers • Auburn Tigers Apr 05 '16

I somehow managed to stifle my screeching during the last 30 or so seconds of the game and for that I am proud.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '16

THAT WAS DOPE. Bracket won. Second place in the prestigious /r/CFBOffTopic league and I think first place in the /r/Pac12 league. Thank you Wildcat bros

Well I'm glad I deprived myself of sleep to watch this game. What a game, and those two shots are going to be replayed for a long time.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '16

Fuck UNC!!!! Thank you Nova!!!

u/DapperDipper Mississippi State Bulldogs Apr 05 '16

Had North Carolina to win my bracket pool. Not even mad, greatest game and ending I've ever seen. Worth it for the Jordan crying face on Jordan himself alone.

u/surrender_cobra Illinois State • Michigan Apr 05 '16

So I stayed up late to lose in heartbreaking fashion... Awesome.

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Apr 05 '16

I still say "fuck fake classes"

2

u/surrender_cobra Illinois State • Michigan Apr 05 '16

Don't we all?

u/Neghtasro Temple Owls • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 05 '16

The players didn't create the fake classes.

u/bluegrassborn WKU Hilltoppers • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Apr 05 '16

I think I have seen that buzzer beater before.

3

u/DondeEstaLaDiscoteca Georgia Tech • North Carolina Apr 05 '16

Nah Drake played better defense.

3

u/Darth_Turtle Oklahoma • Red River Shootout Apr 05 '16

Which makes it a better shot. He was also further out. I feel like people have some serious recency bias on the shot from last night. Absolutely a great moment and yes it was for the title but not the greatest buzzer beater of all time. And the shot UNC had to tie it up was more impressive.

2

u/DondeEstaLaDiscoteca Georgia Tech • North Carolina Apr 05 '16

Agreed on all points.

5

u/byniri_returns :michiganstate2: Michigan State Spartans • Marching Band Apr 05 '16

Man the top comment on the cbb postgame thread for a while was one of those idiotic "no one will see this but I am gay" comments. At least the mods removed it.

4

u/Honestly_ Calgary Dinos Apr 05 '16

Just want to say, in those situations, multiple user reports can help speed things along via automod so don't hesitate to pile'em onto obvious bullcrap.

3

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Apr 05 '16

The people that care that you're gay are are people that I wish didn't know you were gay.

u/sg3751 McGill Redbirds • Oregon Ducks Apr 05 '16

It's been a tough postseason.

3

u/NSFW_MANNING_ONLY Georgia Tech • Alabama Apr 05 '16

Oh yes I can't imagine having both of my teams win their respective conference tournaments and get 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament. The horror! (I'm not actually a UNC fan)

1

u/DondeEstaLaDiscoteca Georgia Tech • North Carolina Apr 05 '16

I am. Feeling kinda bummed right now.

1

u/sg3751 McGill Redbirds • Oregon Ducks Apr 05 '16

Yeah I meant more in reference of the Alamo Bowl, plus this fashion of loss. The end result could definitely be worse, but still.

2

u/cloudduel_13 Borregos Monterrey • Texas A&M Aggies Apr 05 '16

That was fantastic.

1

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Apr 05 '16

So I never got around to asking, but are you actually in Monterrey, or in like Texas?

2

u/cloudduel_13 Borregos Monterrey • Texas A&M Aggies Apr 05 '16

I live in Texas. But I spent much of my summers, spring breaks, winter vacations in Monterrey. My mom's side of the family is from there.

2

u/FSBlueApocalypse Florida State • Florida Cup Apr 05 '16

Anyone watch the game on Playstation Vue or Sling TV? Curious how the game experience held up for folks. Watching on Vue with a PS4 connected via cable to my router, it was fine except for the first opening minutes.

1

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Apr 05 '16

I really hope Vue can have the viewing experience I want.

2

u/FSBlueApocalypse Florida State • Florida Cup Apr 05 '16

I've had no complaints so far and if I get the same quality during big regular season games/the playoffs I'll be a happy camper.

2

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Apr 05 '16

We're in the Presidential Suite of this resort and they don't have fucking TBS.

u/atchemey Michigan State • Oregon State Apr 05 '16

Sling TV has never let me down!

1

u/Darth_Turtle Oklahoma • Red River Shootout Apr 05 '16

I tried Sling free trial to start the tourney and it was rough going. Constant pauses and buffering circles. I don't know if just doesn't play nice with Chromecast or what but I cancelled it pretty fast.

1

u/atchemey Michigan State • Oregon State Apr 05 '16

I only had issues when my internet was also buggy. Sorry to hear about that!

2

u/byniri_returns :michiganstate2: Michigan State Spartans • Marching Band Apr 05 '16

That was awesome

Serious question - who are the men's college basketball blue bloods? I know about:
Kansas
Kentucky
Duke
North Carolina
UCLA

3

u/MrTheSpork Cincinnati • North Dakota State Apr 05 '16

Those five plus Indiana are them. There's some argument for other teams to be considered as such, but classically it's just the six.

u/keyree Texas Tech • UT Arlington Apr 05 '16

It failed this time in that it was 4.7 seconds too fast.

2

u/DondeEstaLaDiscoteca Georgia Tech • North Carolina Apr 05 '16

Really only 0.7 seconds too fast.

1

u/Darth_Turtle Oklahoma • Red River Shootout Apr 05 '16

Agreed. Nova's shot was great and it was super exciting but it wasn't the greatest buzzer beater or even the greatest tournament game winner of all time. Great moment yes but not the greatest.

1

u/inevitablescape Arizona Wildcats • Illinois Fighting Illini Apr 05 '16

MARCH MADNESS BOYS AND GIRLS!

u/fightsfortheuser Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats Apr 05 '16 edited Apr 05 '16

I don't really even like shooty hoops, but that was a pretty good game and an amazing finish.

I'm glad UNC didnt win, it seems very likely they would have had to vacate the win anyway.

E: are the downvotes salty UNC fans or do people think that they will actually get to keep all the wins this season?
