“15-0 in March”.
Take notes, Big Cat’s kids.
That’s your dad’s epitaph.
Unless he keeps winning.
Now I’ve been on the sideline for this and I think it’s too late to tail now.
But for those who did, congrats.
You’re a part of a career run that never happens twice to the same person.
Those are your odds of winning 15-bets in a row assuming a 50/50 chance of winning each.
170.5 is a lofty number for any college basketball game.
Of the 5,322 D1 games played so far this season, only 477 games totaled 171 points or more.
That’s just shy of 9% of all games.
So you get what the market makers were thinking.
The first half was an absolute disaster.
Kentucky’s 38-29 lead put this game on a 76-58 pace.
To put some perspective on this, 104-points were needed in the second half to clinch the over.
Before Saturday, only 64 games this season resulted in 104 second half points.
And only four games did this in the first half (Missouri was one of them).
Again - this is out of 5,322 games.
This left a 1.2% chance of hitting the over.
As if both team’s score lines just got hit with a fresh Sydney Sweeney thirst trap.
There’s a total of 79 games represented to the right of that red dashed line.
Again, out of these 5,000 plus games this season.
Pretty similar ratio to the 64 games we just looked at to score 104 in the second half.
That’s because until these final two minutes - the over was still deader than dead.
All the magic happened after that.
It was a perfect situation actually.
This is why overs are never dead.
For another day at least.
Who’s the play today?
Will the legacy live on?
We’ll find out soon.
