In football, it really is a lot tougher to force a turnover -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:35
Ah..but the huge difference in the sports is how quickly possessions can change. Go for two and down 1. So if can't get stop, then quick foul - JD Mar 25, 18:35
If they hit a three, all they do is tie. They needed at least four. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:33 8
- No, the needed three to stay in the game. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 18:34 7
  - I should have also said a three is a heck of a lot less certain than 2 from 2 feet away. But you know that -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:38
  - No, they needed four to force the other team into a must score situation. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:37 5
    - Ok, so overtime doesn't exist in basketball, I got it now. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 18:38 4
      - Fouling college kids with pressure on, is a great way to get back into a game. Score the two then foul and have em choke one at the line -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:46 2
        
        and no time is running -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:46 1
        
        ty clearly thinks all college players are Steph Curry. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:47
      - Not when you have key players in foul trouble. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:39
