Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

Betting on Cully Payne Is Actually Somehow A Smart Idea; EVERYBODY MOVE YOUR FEET AND FEEL UNITED

We're still seething about the calls Iowa didn't get as time wound down in both the second half, but there's something worth mentioning that we didn't think to address in our recap.

Upon further review, the line on last night's game was Michigan -4. Mgo said that and everything. So assuming that held up untl tipoff, there were probably scads of thrilled Michigan fans who watched Laval Lucas-Perry ice the game with four seconds to go to make it 80-75.

That is, of course, until Cully Payne hit a three at the buzzer to make it 80-78 MIchigan and you know how we do whenever Iowa surprises everybody:

Okay, beating the spread isn't usually a cause for celebration. Our retort is this: you try going 3-11 in the conference and getting pumped up about every game. This song is how we get everybody to move their feet and feel united, whoa oh oh. And if it takes Iowa beating the spread in a 2-point loss in the middle of February, well, then that's what it fucking takes.

that was a great gambling moment

of course, payne nearly screwed over everyone like me who had Iowa +4 when he only hit 1 of 2 free throws at the end of regulation

As laughable as we are...

We still have more conference wins than the “other” school in Iowa.

Odd, considering their 5 and 4 star players.

How did they get 5 and 4 star players at Iowa State?

When did Huggins take over there?

Perhaps I should say...

4 star player and 5 star player. (Depending on who you favor more, Rivals or Scout.com)

Still, how they got Brackins is beyond me. He probably chose ISU because it was the largest demographic of people who would be amazed by his totally sweet haircut.

it may be time to start employing Metcalf as a Kerrigan like hitman on opposing teams...

I’m sure he’d be up for it. I see this as the only way beating the spread continuing to be a cause for celebration.

Highlight music

I just started up the Junior Senior video, then went down and watched the Brad Banks highlight video from the Purdue article with the music playing. I’d recommend trying it.

The soundtrack...

for this season in review will be “Yakkity Sax.” Without the nude Benny Hill girls.

Excuse me for my bellicosity. And spelling. Bellicosity and spelling.
