My 2nd favorite team Houston Math Science & Technology won the Gold division final vs. FB Travis.  I still haven't seen the score or the stats.  Good win.

I agreed on the ridiculousness of Silsbee having to play Wagner in the first round of the last tournament.  

But in this one, Silsbee got put in a relatively weak pool in this tournament, "relatively" because the other 7 pools had a stronger team in it than Hightower. If you look at the pools, Silsbee was definitely the "A" team in the pool and was expected to make the gold bracket.  

The bottom line is this:  if you miss EIGHTEEN free throws in a game and lose by 3, to make additional excuses is weak sauce.  Refs didn't cost you the game, time slots didn't cost you the game, YOU cost you the game.  Besides, if anyone can run through 2 games in a 4-5 hour period, a team that runs 12 to 14 deep ought to be able to do it.  If you don't shoot better from the line than that, good teams can beat you and really good teams WILL beat you.  Hopefully the Tigers get that issue corrected.  

This has to be the post of the decade. This isnt just for Silsbee but for EVERY team who comes with an excuse

No excuses needed, no excuses given.  If your team has a two point lead 87-85, and the clock hits 0.00.  Your team won, or they should have won.  That goes beyond excuse.  That is flagrant cheating.

It is either cheating, or gross incompetence by the refs.  Or it is a combination of the two.

I wasn't there but was told by those who were no whistle heard before the buzzer but they even added one second back on the clock.

They did add a second back after the game was tied.
