JasonBravo · Answer

If you were on Manhattan and Fla Int would you have made this thread? I know that ending sucked and it looks like it was fixed with the ref smiling and shiiit.. But you can&#x27;t magically force a 3 to go in can you?. Honestly though.. Probably to a degree they are and always will be.

peter10 · Answer

The guy hits a 3 with 0.1 second left and you think its fixed

if it was fixed they don't take chances like that it wouldn't come down to someone hitting a 3 with no time left and a technical foul ,

really think about it , before you talk about a game being fixed

there&#x27;s a new report of something being fixed all the time, when will people wake up

JDubs800 · Answer

Bad luck.  Was no guarantee the FTs would be made either. Just unreal to be on the bad side of these crazy finishes. 3 now in 2 days

KobezKing · Answer

Peter they saw the oppurtunity once th three went down. Just like fiu the kid still had to hit three but refs kept em as close as they could and then swallowed whistle at end wen fiu was trying to foul. Ur a complete and utter fool if u dont think games are fixed. Stop bein so naive. U people must think theres no murderers, rapists, drug dealers either and that everyone in world is upstanding citizen.... Please get outta here with that garbage

EazyFBaby · Answer

the refs dont care though, they give the opportunity for back doors all the time when they feel like it...

GOPHERNATION12 · Answer

Was on the right side of one and the wrong side of the other. I know the frustration but those games weren&#x27;t fixed. Could the ref in the Iona game know the line and even call the foul (it was a foul) knowing the bearing it could have? Possible, but a fixed game looks a whole lot different.

NFLJOE · Answer

If that&#x27;s what makes you feel better about your loss, then sure, why not?Bad luck, and sometimes good luck happens every single day in sports betting. Not the first time and certainly not the last.

&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;ridiculous...&#xD;&#xA;so before the triple fell there was no fix...&#xD;&#xA;but after the triple fell the zebras by some means of hi-tech or telepathic or subtle-nod or semaphore or 007-ish communication determined presto!!! there indeed "could" now be a fix....&#xD;&#xA;so in that ensuing split-second they conspired to engineer said fix, including transmitting instructions via dental fillings or someother way to the manhattan kid to "make those 2 FTs or else"...&#xD;&#xA;bueller....bueller...&#xD;&#xA;only thing missing is a puff of smoke from behind a picket fence atop a grassy knoll

Lol bro it wasnt fixed, a fixed game is a game where bs fouls are called, fouls are called for a team every time they drive the lane while the other team can get mugged and there arnt any calls, I do see this happen in games, Iona attempted one more free throw than Manhattan throughout the game, trust if this was fixed there would have been a huge free throw disparity in favor of Manhattan. No ref would wait till the last second to fix a game.

KobezKing · Answer

So jtoler do u believe the fiu w kentucky game fits ur scenario

jtoler · Answer

Only watched bits and pieces of that one. I had WKU -2.5, played FIU in game 1st half at &#x2B;6.5. So I only lost a little on that one, I noticed the refs seemed to keep it close in the 2nd half though, they ran the cam on daddy Pitino all through the game and just looked like they were keeping that one close. Still WKU shot 10 more free throws than FIU.

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

Well if this game wasn&#x27;t fixed, according to your criteria of what a fixed game is, then W.Kentucky game was fixed big time.  Cause those bullshittt fouls at the end of that game to keep it close were a joke.

jtoler · Answer

Again WKU had 19 FT attempts, FIU had only 9, why wait till the end of a game to fix it? And if it was fixed who were the refs fixing it for? They knew FIU would hit a 3 with 5 seconds left with a 30% 3 pt shooter taking the shot? Again I ask who were the refs fixing the game for? WKU or FIU?

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

Man you act like these refs don&#x27;t know how they games go.  They know these guys are gonna hit late 3&#x27;s teams always do when they are desperate.  The refs know if they keep it close the underdog has a chance to either win or cover.  And yep FIU covered the game.  And FIU even fouled the guy with 1.5 seconds left and they didn&#x27;t even call the foul, just let the time run out.I&#x27;ve seen refs call that foul at the end tons of times with 1 second left for no damn reason.  They know what they are doing, they know how the game flows and they know momentum.  If you saw the end of the W.Kentucky game and don&#x27;t think that garbage was fixed you crazy as hell.  It&#x27;s funny that you think you know all the signs of a fix like it&#x27;s gonna be so obvious where everybody can see it.  Come on man, they smarter than that.  Tim Donahuay Fixed games for years and nobody knew, it&#x27;s not that black and white man, this whole giving one team a whole bunch of free throws for a fix and not calling them for the other team.  There&#x27;s more than 1 way to fix games man, just sayin.

gamblerluke · Answer

Game was for FIU to cover and WKU to win. Many games finish that way. How ironic it favors vegas. If you a gambler its not hard to see!

jtoler · Answer

Youve got to be kidding right? Can we all agree in a true fixed game, perhaps 10s of thousands are at stake, who knows maybe in the hundreds, if so no ref would wait till the final seconds hoping a 3 pt shot is made bro.

jtoler · Answer

Im gonna go back and look at the last two minutes of the game later on, I do see alot of fouls called on WKU, still if I was fixing something the team Im on would get to the line often if need be while the other team hardly at all. Just my take.

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

Man you clownin now, lol.  They didn&#x27;t wait til the final seconds, look at the last 2 minutes of the game.  I would break it down for you easy how that shittt was shady as hell.  That game shoulda ended with W.Kentucky winning by 7 or 8 points. But  amazingly they only win by 2.  I purposely took W.Kentucky 2nd half ML because I knew it was gonna be some bullshit.  I made the bet really for shits and giggles, cause I had a feeling i&#x27;d push and not win.  But knew if I took the -1 I woulda lost.I&#x27;ve seen this bullshit so much that I do little garbage like that just to see it for myself, and weird garbage always happens.  Even the freaking announcers were like those last 2 fouls calls were not fouls, like for real?  I guess even the announcers are stupid too huh? ha ha ha.  Man you crack me up.

Hands down these two games make you wonder I love college basketball it&#39;s my favorite sport to watch.  I don&#39;t want to admit fixing happens in the sport I love basketball too much but after these two games tonight it makes you wonder.  Of course Iona and western Kentucky was the majority public play and they both get bs backdoored in the last min because of the refs.  I&#39;m not saying its for sure fixed because we don&#39;t know but sure looks like it.  It&#39;s either that or it was the worst two displays of officiating I&#39;ve seen all year.  It&#39;s one or the other I hope it&#39;s just bad officiating for the integrity of the game didnt bet on either game thankfully I feel for you Iona and w kent backers.  Iona and w kent were the right plays refs Cost you guys the cover

jtoler · Answer

Ill check it out later on in the morning on my XBOX, XxBOX is a good tool for going back and looking at games, but let me ask you this, if you were fixing a spread of -2.5, would you wait till the last two minutes of the game? Would you only have the team youre fixing the game for only shoot 9 free throws while the opponent shoots 19? I cant remember the last time I saw a team only shoot 9 free throws the entire game. If I was fixing the game for FIU, trust me WKU wouldnt have had 10 more attempts.
