A bad beat for Gonzaga +4.5 backers in NCAA tournament
Anyone who has wagered on college basketball has likely suffered a bad beat at the end of a game, but those with Gonzaga +4.5 tickets on Sunday night suffered an all-timer.
After a wild sequence of events, Gonzaga’s Hunter Sallis was fouled with 0.7 seconds left. He calmly sank two free throws to put the Bulldogs up by 6 points (and covering the final spread of Gonzaga -4.5).
However, Gonzaga allowed TCU to roll the ball up the court without pressure, and TCU’s Damion Baugh made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Horned Frogs an improbable cover.
Final score: Gonzaga 84, TCU 81.
If you had Gonzaga -4.5, you might not want to watch the video below — it’s the crowd reaction from Circa Sports in Las Vegas to the buzzer-beater.
