When the whistle blows the clock and play stop. The whistle blows if someone calls time out or a player has committed a infraction say traveling (steps without dribbling).
You two have caught on to everything you've checked out faster than anybody I've ever watched from outside our shores. Good on ya. Keep enjoying.
Thank you. Sometimes the mind goes blank tackling so many new sports at once in a short period of time but always doing our best! Appreciate the comment Stepperg.
@@DNReacts for diving into all of them essentially at once you both are doing great. Cheers fellas
@@downrighttt Thank you Ethan, really appreciate it
In regards to your timeout question; a lot of coaches like to call timeout with very few seconds on the clock (if they have one left) to try and draw up a play to win the game. Some coaches may let the team play on and see if the players can win “organically”
Edit: Each team gets three 30-second timeouts and 1 Full time out (2 or 3 minutes) and yes, the team that is trailing (losing) in the final seconds will call timeout. The defending team (winning team) wants the opposition to take it up the length of the court WITHOUT a timeout. Obviously circumstances change but this is a common occurrence.
Makes complete sense, thank you for this Gavin
Another reason for calling a timeout at the last second (probably moreso in football) is an attempt at "freezing" players, especially a kicker if the game has come down to that. Basically waiting until the last second prior to a final play and then halting everything suddenly as they're about to resume.
Also another reason for a timeout: to stop the momentum. If a team is on a run or it’s a tight game, you can call timeout to get teams under composure
Another thing to note about timeouts. During D1 college basketball playoffs whether its regional conference or national tourneys there are TV timeouts: 1 for every 4 minutes of action, 6 in total guaranteed. That's so networks can get their commercials in & make back the obscene amounts of $ they throw at these things for the coverage rights. Throw in what teams get & you could have up to 14 TOs called. God forbid the game goes into overtime, then each team gets 2 extra TOs for the OT & that's for just 1 OT. There have been as many as 4 OTs in a game; rare but true.
Most teams will have practiced last second plays, and they prefer not to call a timeout so the defense can't get organized. Everyone knows the situation and the play they are going to run. See Valparaiso run "Pacer" in an NCAA game from the 90s ua-cam.com/video/J1eOGcHXsgU/v-deo.html
It's cool seeing these guys all the way from GB seeing my univesity's basketball team at the end. I only attended Loyola-Chicago because it's a mile from my house. Our sports program was absolutely unknown throughout the USA at the time (1999-2002).
I've seen a couple of responses about the refs blowing the whistles. Sometimes it is the coaches calling timeouts, sometimes it's the refs checking the time left on the clock and/or seeing if it was a 2point or 3point shot
A little context for the Duke-Kentucky game. Many people consider this the greatest college basketball game ever played. Duke was the defending National Champions, and Kentucky was a historic power in the sport back in the tournament for the first time in a couple years because they had been on probation for recruiting violations. Kentucky's Sean Woods hit a basket with 2.1 seconds left (right before where the clip starts) to give Kentucky the lead and then the Laettner shot happened. I'm a Kentucky fan, so when that shot went in I literally jumped up, fell to the floor, and my glasses fell off and broke (lol!). We take our basketball seriously!
Since I found you guys, I've been bingeing on you videos. You guys are great. You get my sub.
Thank you Dean, really appreciate the support and glad you’re enjoying the content!
Yes, typically toward the end of a game, assuming the team has them available, you're going to be seeing timeouts immediately after a play. Time to draw up a play, but mostly because they get the ball at midcourt when the game resumes rather than gaving to go the full length of the court. Saves time since the clock starts once the ball is touched.
Makes sense! Thank you!
Timeouts towards the very end of the game, in the last few seconds are either A) the team about to get the ball who is trying to win or tie it to send it to overtime, trying to set up a play to get the shot they want or B) the team that JUST scored to either take the lead or tie, taking a timeout to set up their DEFENSE to make sure they don't have a miscommunication that leads to an easy shot that could get them beat.
Scenario A is more common, though you do sometimes see teams do scenarios B, especially if the game is tied or they're only up by 1 point (where any made basket could beat them).
9:45 "He Actually Did Well To Miss It" - Excellent Insight into scoring!
Yes, sometimes it is preferred to miss the shot in order to start the clock and burn more time or give your team an opportunity to gain more than 1 point. This is only the case if it is the last free throw to be shot for that penalty.
In this case however, they would have preferred to score and tie, but they were lucky to miss and then gather the rebound for two points.
The “devastated” dude was on the winning team, that was a loon of disbelief and tears of joy lol
This year's conference tournaments have already begun. The best part is that any team can win. All you have to do is keep winning but if you lose your whole season is over.
Yes when a timeout is called the clock doesn't start again til someone touches the ball
You guys have made me laugh so much tonight. 😂 Thank you!!
You’re always welcome!
This is why it's called March Madness. It seems like every game is like this every year. Big teams are getting upset left and right, buzzer beaters galore. It's an insane tournament.
Coaches call a timeout when the game is on the line because it lets them draw up a final play obviously but also lets them pass the ball in from half court rather than the other side of the court
The second shot from Arkansas' U.S. Reed had some extenuating circumstances. First, they didn't have tenths of a second yet (it was 1981 when that game happened), and many credit it to a controversial play in the NBA called the "Trent Tucker" game. Second, the three-point line wasn't in effect in the NCAA yet (that took effect in 1986), so it was only a two-pointer back then, but it did win the game. Lastly, that shot was one of four legendary games that took place on the same day, 14 March 1981. It's known as the "Day that Made March Madness."
Another handy thing to know about basketball rules - only the team who has the ball can call timeout. If a basket has just been made, either team can call timeout provided that the team getting the ball hasn't already inbounded the ball to put it back in play.
Sometimes a coach wants to call a timeout to make sure that they get their best scorers on the floor as well as make sure that there is a designed play (basically get the ball into the best players hands with no time left). But I also think that they get to advance the ball up the court so instead of taking the ball out from under the basket they are on the sideline and it shortens the floor so to speak.
6:26 You have excellent questions and insight relating to clock management which is VITAL to the ending of the game:
Near the end of the game after a score the clock is stopped until it is passed in bounds and is TOUCHED in bounds. 8:45 If there is a timeout called or if the ball has not been touched inbounds yet, the clock will not start. You have five seconds to inbound the ball once the inbounding player has gathered the ball or been handed the ball by the referee. They must also advance the ball past the half court line within ten seconds of game time.
Each team has three time outs per half (two of which can be carried over to the following half). Because of this, there is a fair amount of opportunity for intentional stoppage to allow for regrouping, play coordination, and clock management.
One additional feature of clock management is FOULING.
When fouled, the clock stops automatically so in some instances you will see players intentionally foul one another to force them to shoot free throws in an attempt to come back without using up game time.
A tip for you, the lower seed teams are the favorites and they wear the white uniforms, which typically is used by the ‘home’ team.
If you look closely at the guy who rebounds (catches) the ball after one of those shots you’ll see him sort of cover the ball with his arms, turn to the referee, and make a “T” sign with his hands, which is the signal for timeout (the head coach can also call a timeout by doing the same thing). Each team gets two 30-second timeouts per half and they’re usually used when (a) there isn’t much time left on the clock and the game is close so the coach will call a set play (kind of like a corner kick) to try to tie or win the game, (b) the game is close and there’s enough time on the clock for each team to run one or more plays but the coach wants to give instructions on how to manage the last few seconds of the game (a “stay focused and don’t fuck this up” timeout), (c) the other team is hot and running up points while you’re playing like shit so the coach calls a timeout to stop their momentum and to scream at his team (this is rarely effective but it makes the coach feel better), or (d) a player panics and doesn’t know what to do (which is a great way to reserve a spot on the bench for future games).
Note: It’s also important to keep track of how many timeouts you have left because if you try to call a timeout (effectively stopping play) but you don’t have any left, it’s a technical foul. This means the other team gets to pick their best free throw shooter to take 2 shots from the free throw line (kind of like a penalty kick). See, “Chris Webber 1993 NCAA championship game.”
Wow, thank you Theresa! Great comment!
That Loyola team was what is called a "Cinderella story". A team that came from out of nowhere. I had a lot of fun watching them even though they blew up my bracket.
I think I put them in the Sweet Sixteen
I had em in elite 8
@@ahhculdee same
I went to high school with Clay Custer and played basketball there. He was a superstar at that school. Then crushed it in March madness. Crazy to think someone as good as him didn’t make the nba. Proved to me that the nba is seriously a MASSIVE cut above the rest. Like it’s unbelievable.
@@mitchellmccroskey4568it’s also fair to say not everyone gets a shot. Going to the g league to the nba isn’t a bad option. Kinda like how soccer players will play in lower leagues to develop before being brought back on loan. Plus the media plays a lot on who gets to play
about time outs... it depends on your personnel, some coaches want to set up their Defense and some want to set up their offense, some are happy with who they have on the court (or they have no timeouts left). I was @ that Uconn game (Tate George, 1 sec left), it was back and forth the entire second half, the kid from Clemson and George just were going punch for punch...
Southeast Missouri State just punched their ticket to March Madness this year. They won their conference tournament(they're in the Ohio Valley Conference, or OVC)
To answer the main question of this video: the referee's whistle can mean two things, either a timeout (which was most of the examples in this video) or a foul. The foul portion was not really very relevent in this video, so I'll just explain the timeouts. A team can only call timeout when they have posession of the ball. Often, a coach will call a timeout immediately after the other team makes a basket because his players are coached to inbound the ball right away under normal circumstances, but in this case he doesn't want them to do so and waste precious seconds. This particular example is why you were frequently hearing the whistle blow immdeiately after a made shot in this highlight video. Teams usually try to save timeouts for these end of game situations so that they can potentially organize and run a play, and also so that the players can catch their breath in the most important minutes at the end of a game. One other point of clarification is that, following a made shot (under normal circumstances, i.e. no time out is called), the clock does not start running until the ball is touched by a player on the court. This is why the long lob passes up the court with 1 second left on the clock have the potential of actuially working, as the recipient has just enough time to catch, turn, and shoot before time is up. Sometimes, you will even see a player roll the ball slowly up the court from the baseline and a teammate will follow the ball, waiting to pick it up until a defender gets too close, because again the clock will not start until someone on the court touches the ball. This can give the team an extra second or two to get their players set, but you don't really see it end-of-game situations because the defense is always ready for it and will be guarding the inbound pass much more tightly than they usually do throughout the game.
Mario of the buzzer....'08. Rock Chalk!
To your question of whether the losing team calls the timeout---yes, they will, as I mentioned, call the timeout to set up a play (again, they had practiced during the season and probably very recently), but, what sometimes happens is that once they return to the floor and set up to start the play by "inbounding" the ball, the other team may call a timeout to reset their defense based on what they saw from the inbounding team. Great stuff.
Thanks Greg
9:29 Turns out that UMBC's website actually crashed that night.
Definitely should’ve put cardiac Kemba in that video! He broke homie off on that stepback😂
The year after UVA (AKA Virginia) got shocked by UMBC (2019), Virginia went all the way and won the national championship. Each of their last 4 wins were in heart-stopping fashion. In their last three games, with just a few seconds left they had less than a 10% win probability in each of them, yet came back to win all of them. It was a magical run, and it was criminal that it wasn't shown here, particularly the game against Purdue, which is known for "the play." (Look it up, it was amazing)
Glad to see this mentioned. Pity this compilation appears to end in 2018. Here's the play in question, guys: ua-cam.com/video/UHVOFjx4Tfc/v-deo.html
team have 5 timeouts in a game, usually when someone scores with little time left they will call their last timeout they saved for a end of game situation. Or sometimes the refs have to stop the game to make sure the correct time is on the clock
Yes, the opposing team's coach almost certainly called a timeout right after that shot was made. Sometimes they will feel it benefits them more to go ahead and play on, but it's probably a better decision to call the timeout- if you have one- and chat about what we're gonna do next.
The last three clips were all of the same team in the same tournament. Loyola-Chicago came out of nowhere to almost make the final 4 with 3 straight close games.
Just to answer your question about every time they make a basket do they get a timeout. The answer is, inside the last 2 minutes of a game, everytime a shot is made, the clock automatically stops. The clock does not resume until you inbound the ball. If you have timeouts left, you can call a timeout, or you can grab thew ball and go as fast as you want. They key is that the clock stops everytime a basket is made inside of 2 minutes. Every single one of these videos is inside of 2 minutes. For the rest of the game, the clock does NOT stop when a ball is made and therefor they have to grab the ball and go quicker.
Thank you Zach!
When the ref blows the whistle it is a timeout called by the team.
2:50 yes. because of time outs.
@7:50 mark roundabout, you generally figured out the timeouts Q you're asking. In summary: if a team goes ahead in the last seconds and the losing team HAS a timeout available to call... they generally do. If the losing team are OUT of timeouts, they are forced to push the ball up the court & attempt to score again before the buzzer. Very glad to have stumbled on your channel, it's been enjoyable. Cheers mates.
Edit: you cleared the air exactly right @9:05.
Most of the time if a buzzer beater is hit in college the shot is always reviewed to make sure the shot got off in time.
Remember that for every one of those moments, the other team's season is over and some of them will never play again. That's why it's so compelling.
I remeber the loyal one I picked them when I was younger I just liked then for some reason I predicted that game right and the team they would beat next but I had them loosing the best game because I loved them but didn't believe they would do that good
That UMBC vs Virginia game was (i think) the first time EVER that a 1 seed lost to a 16 seed. Until this year at least, where #1 Purdue lost to #16 FDU. FDU weren't even supposed to be in the tournament to begin with. It has to be the greatest upset in March Madness history.
you guys should watch a bunch of one shining moments!! some people only watch march madness, but personally i watch every game of the season!
The ref blows the whistle because the team called a time out. They would normally do that to set up a play to have a better chance at a basket. If they play on, its usually because there are no time outs left.
9:08 yes it is the losing team calling the timeout
Look into Loyola Chicago's run. Incredible
2:50 This might have already been addressed, but the refs will sometimes blow their whistle to confirm that the shot was a three-pointer rather than a two-pointer. Another good example of this is in game 6 of the 2012 NBA finals.
The guy you felt bad for at 7:30 was on the winning team, he is just overcome with emotion for the win. That is Duke vs Kentucky in the 1992 March Madness tournament. It is considered by many as the best college game ever and that last shot became known as "The Shot". Duke was a #1 seed and had won their first NCAA title the previous year. Kentucky had just come off a 2 year probation period where they were not even allowed in the tournament and were a #2 seed that year. Because of that probation period some Kentucky players transferred to other colleges. This team included 4 seniors that stayed with the program and became known as "The Unforgettables". It is worth watching the game on your own schedule - ua-cam.com/video/FDNhnZb6hJA/v-deo.html
During March Madness, there are always several upsets where a much lower team beats a top rated team. These are often referred to a Bracket Beaters because it can ruin the "bracket" that someone has put together of who will win and move on in the tournament. Building a bracket of 64 teams and actually being correct in all of the games is nearly impossible. That 1 vs 16 loss, broke almost all of the brackets done on various websites. Chances are 1:120 billion.
In dead ball situation such as when a foul is called or the ball goes out of bounds the referee will hand the ball to the player and whistle to start the clock and the game. The player then throws the ball to a player in bounds on the court. After a made basket the player can throw the ball in bounds on their own without the referee because it's not a dead ball situation.
The number one vs number 16 game was the first and only time, until this year, that a 16 seed had beaten a 1 seed and that one seed was the top ranked team in the tournament
I would LOVE to see you react to some of the past NBA legends like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, etc.
The clip where he calls timeout and they didn't have any left is one of my biggest memories of March Madness. The player who called the timeout was Chris Webber, he was the best player in the country. The team he played on had the nickname of the Fab 5, they were all freshmen and all really good. All 5 went on to the NBA, one player was cut before playing in a game. They were a favorite to win the tournament that year.
Woody Durham was the play by play announcer for UNC. His call of that moment is LEGENDARY. “Technical Foul! Technical foul!”
This vid happened to show both times Dean Smith won Nat'l championships @ UNC & both of them were due to horrendous mistakes by an opposing player.
ua-cam.com/video/z6aQe4zLN2w/v-deo.html
2:38
Play was stopped because the coach called time out to get his team organized and set up an offensive play.
The reason the ref blows the whistle after a crazy shot with a short amount of time left is because they call a timeout. They want to get their team together to go over a play they want to run to give them the best chance to score back and either tie or win the game.
The reason FGCU 3:40 was featured is they're a team you'll sometimes hear referred to as a "bracket buster" or a "Cinderella." Basically a low ranked team almost nobody thinks will beat a heavy favorite that "busts" almost everyone's chance at perfect bracket picks with an upset, or in the case of a Cinderella an unexpectedly long run in the tourney. FGCU was the first 15 seed to make it to The Sweet 16 (3rd round), the lowest seed to ever make it that far.
Typically bracket busters rely on the three point shot to pull off the upsets--favorites are generally more athletic and fundamentally sound so the underdog relies on high risk/reward to pull off the upset. That year however FGCU started getting called Dunk City as their playstyle, which relied on a lot of back cuts, alley oops, and fast break attacks resulting in dunks, generated tons of social media buzz eventually resulting in a fan made song cementing that moniker set to a video compilation of their dunks. The dunk in the video is basically when they sealed Georgetown (1st round opponent) away and Dunk City was born.
Great comment Rob, thanks for this, was a great read. I’ve noted FGCU down on our list in case we get a chance to watch their run that year
Sometimes the coach whos team just got scored on with 2.7 seconds left on the clock, will call a timeout to draw up a play for a last second shot.
That first highlight with the halfcourt game winner was made by Paul Jesperson. I played against Paul every year from 5th grade until senior year of high school (ages 10-18). We NEVER beat their team. He was the Gatorade player of the year in our state his senior season and simply unguardable.
I remember watching the UNI-Texas game live and yelling at the TV for his teammates to give Paul the ball as I was certain he could make the shot.
Wow, this is great Roger. Thanks for the comment and sharing!
Shame about the Texas A&M game :/
Kyle, very good job here--again. Re. Finns, have you ever heard the joke about the UP, namely, that because there used to be such a high percentage up there, you either had to be a Finn or a Finn fan to fit in?
Yes, it's a timeout. Ref doesn't stop the game unless a foul, time out or injury.
The last two minutes of a college basketball game is the longest 2 minutes in sports. As soon as the game clock hits 2 minutes, it's best just to assume that there will be much more frequent play stoppages, especially right after a score. All available timeouts are likely to be used. Lots of fouls, most of which are intentional. Referee timeouts to check video replays to make sure they made the right calls. That last 2 minutes is likely to take 20 or more real-time minutes to play. And during March Madness, you can add in increasing blood pressure, anxiety, sensory awareness/overload, and a rapid and continuous escalation in the decibel level of the place. Oh, and if they go into Overtime, it's all gonna happen again. It's all part of the Madness.
Thanks Will. Definitely the madness of March madness! Bring it on!
Check out the University of Kansas crowd traditions - the chant, the tearing the paper, the beware the phong poster. KU is the winningest Div I school. I am always surprised that their are not more KU games on these compilations.
Thanks Jennifer, have added this to our list!
As a former basketball player I can tell you that we practice various game situations each week--such as 10 or 5 seconds left and we have the ball or not, so there is preparation and this is not totally improvised from nothing. Also, during the game before an ending sequence the coach will walk you again through a few possible "if X happens, then, do Y..." contingencies. In these cases, if it is not a buzzer beater, a player will have been coached to call time out, again, one of the possible "if X happens, then do Y.." situations. If you get a rebound on a miss or the other team makes the shot with a few seconds left, call time out to give the coach time to set up (version of) a play (that you had practiced) to give your team a chance to win. I like our sports such as basketball and football, especially because of the constant need to respond properly to the game situation and the frequent and adaptive strategy changes of the other team--very cerebral.
This is great, thanks for this context Greg! Great seeing it laid out like this
The Baylor vs Georgia State one is a pretty cool story. Ron Hunter, the coach of Georgia State at the time, injured his leg while celebrating winning their conference tournament the week before. So at this game, he came riding in on a scooter and they gave him a stool to sit on during the game. His son, RJ, took that shot to win the game for Georgia State and he fell off his stool. Probably one of the most heartwarming stories of that year. Loved see him win. He just looked like he enjoyed life
Love this Jen! What a great moment!
Ah sweet! Ron Hunter?... he used to coach me at IUPUI. Nice share!
The whistle can be blown for several reasons. One may be a Time Out has been called. Another is the ball goes out of bounds. Of course there is always a whistle for Fouls.
The ending of 2018 Michigan Houston game was insane. Muhammad Ali Abdur-Rahkman missed a layup on MIchigan's previous possession and Michigan fouled Houston's Devin Davis who missed both free throws
Women’s Final Four
Same sort of format. Usually played the day before the men’s.
Forgive me if this is mentioned somewhere else in the comments but the NBA has a rule that college doesn’t with r we cards to timeouts that makes calling one advantageous (in addition to the other reasons I’ve seen given.) in the NBA calling a timeout after an opposing team’s basket advances the ball automatically to the half-court line when play begins after the time out. This is advantageous for the offense in that it saves precious seconds that would be taken moving the ball the full length of the court and prevents a defense from pressing high up the court, called a “full court press.”
Just found you guys thanks to the algorithm and am enjoying your content. Always fun to see people new to a sport find it as exciting as I have for decades.
Time out being called. Some teams have em and use em and some choose to let it run and catch defense off guard. Some teams are out of timeouts and can't stop the clock so they hurry
You're right it's time outs. You just got rocked let's run a play make sure we execute to score defend whatever.
2:49 yes a timeout is causing it to stop
Around 2:50 when you ask why the Ref blows the whistle its cause the coach calls a timeout to try and come up with a play for the last shot.
Thanks Matt! That makes sense
And to add on to this. Some coaches don’t like calling timeouts and just letting there guys play and hopefully hit the clutch shot. Because if you call the timeout you also give a chance for the defense regroup and reset.
Regarding timeout in basketball. Only the team with the ball can call a timeout. So once a basket is scored the other team can call a timeout. The clock stops after each basket momentarily anyway until the ball is thrown in from out of bounds and another player touches it.
Thanks Christopher, makes complete sense!
Seeding matters a lot. You tend to see more deep tournament runs out of 11 seeds than 8s and 9s, interestingly, because the 8 or 9 has to face a 1 seed in the second round, while an 11 wouldn't until the fourth round.
To give you an idea on big upsets:
In the first round, 8/9 and 7/10 are basically toss-ups; 11 over 6 would be a pretty minor upset. Once you start talking 12s and below, you're getting into the small-conference champions and these tend to be bigger upsets. The 12s are usually good enough to put a scare into the 5s, and most years at least one will win. 13s and 14s advancing are fairly big upsets, but between the two, it's fairly common for 1 of the 8 teams to win. 15s taking down 2s are significantly rarer, maybe one every five or six years (you saw one in this video, Florida Gulf Coast against Georgetown). A 16 over a 1 has happened exactly once, although I think at least one other has taken a 1 seed to overtime before losing.
A 7 seed or lower making it to the second weekend (the third round, or Sweet Sixteen) is fairly significant. 3/6 and 4/5 matchups can go either way without being too much of a surprise. Most years at least one double-digit seed makes it through (11s and 12s most commonly; 10s have to play the 2 seed to get there). One 15 seed (Florida Gulf Coast) has made it that far.
For the most part, a 3 seed reaching the Final Four isn't a big surprise, and there is occasionally a team on the 4 or 5 line that has been inconsistent but clearly had the potential, but anything lower is a major surprise. 11s have done it (they showed three games of Loyola's run to get there), and an 8 has managed to win the whole thing, but a pretty typical Final Four is two 1 seeds, a 2, and a 3 or 4.
The Michigan player who called a timeout when there was none; is Chris Webber. He received a phone call from president Bill Clinton few days after that title game was over with, to comfort him. My beloved Michigan Wloverines lost six title games in total - that was one of them.
With the UMBC vs. Virginia game, the 16 seed defeating the 1 seed...yeah, that's the only time that's ever happened. And it was a blowout, too! Virginia was favored to win the game by 20.5 points. There had been a couple other close calls in past years, but this result was truly shocking. I was at a different tournament site during that game, and everyone thought the out-of-town scoreboard had the scores reversed, haha.
What's crazier is that they (UVA) came back the next season and won the championship, making a comeback in each of the last 3 games in the final minute to do it. That Purdue game in particular was insane.
It has now happened Again lol
My first comment was messed up, but after every made basket the clock stops. The other team takes the ball out of bounds. The clock starts again when ball is in bounded.
Thank you Gregory, makes complete sense now. Appreciate it!
I actually lived on villanova property and needless to say I didn’t sleep very well with the noise after that buzzer beater😂 that was 2016, they also won again in 2018 but not as exciting a finish
Idk how much you guys know, but this is a field of 64 teams. Each team is divided into 1 if 4 regions and is assigned a seed 1-16, and many of those lower seeds are automatic qualifiers that really don’t have the same resources as these other schools. When Virginia got beat by UMBC, it was the first time in history a “top 4” seed was ever beaten by a “61-64” seed.
Thanks for the info!
you guys should react to the Duke UNC game that happened last night. It’s basketball el clasico
Yah because if they have a timeout they will use it when there down or person missed and tied the call it and if there down with no timeouts they have to go down court
OK, regarding how an endgame scenario might work out and when a team might choose to go time out or not. Less than 5 seconds, given the amount of time it can take to get the ball down the court, if you have a time out left, you are probably best served to take a time out after the other team has scored for the coach to set up things for the final trip down the court. If you have no time outs, you have no choice but to inbound the ball and try to get it down the court for the tie or win. Lets say you have more than 5 seconds and you have a timeout. Then the decision to take the timeout has probably been made at some point in a prior timeout situation. If the coach has a guard who can get up the court quickly and has the experience to handle the pressure and either take the shot or deal to an open shooter, he may just tell his team that they will not take a timeout in a situation of where the opponent has tied the game. I do think whether the opponent has tied or taken the lead in the game, with a timeout to burn is critical. Tie game you have more flexibility to allow your team to inbound the ball quickly and go for the win. Down by 1, 2, or 3, if a timeout is available, then the coach will likely take the timeout to setup first an inbounds play and second, how to distribute the team across the court to allow the best chance to get an open look at the basket.
Truly love your reaction!! I suggest you watch March Madness icon Sister Jean chaplain for the Loyola Chicago Ramblers men's basketball team. Man that's a good watch in 2018.
Thank you Linda, appreciate the support. Have added this to our list!
You should watch some extended highlights on a single team making their Cinderella run. I think the best are Davidson with Steph Curry or Florida Gulf Coast aka Dunk City!
I wish there were a video compilation you guys could see that gives a bit more context for these great upset victories, rather than just showing the last few seconds and a buzzer-beater. What makes the games great is the tension of the whole last few minutes of these games: like, each team keeps scoring and the lead keeps changing, and which team is gonna win? Or, sometimes, it's like a team is down by twenty points or whatever and then they start hitting three-pointers with a few minutes to go, and getting a few steals, and you're thinking "they can't really come all the way back, can they??"
I know what you mean Derek. We’re hoping to catch a number of the March Madness games and also do a watch along to the Final too. Hoping it’s going to give us a much better feel for it.
the team with the ball can call time out
Your reactions are so great! I think you'll love reacting to Hockey!!!!! Try it please!!!!
Thank you Peyton, really appreciate the support! We’ve got a first NHL reaction out in around 8 days 👍 We thought as we’re trying to learn 3 sports at once, why not try 4 😅
In basketball you're able to call timeouts when you're on the opponents side of the court, which then moves the spot you inbound the ball from after the time out to your side of the court... hope that makes sense...
Basically, you use a timeout to draw up a play and to move the ball up the court while saving time 👍🏼 and I believe this only works in the final 2 minutes of the 2nd and 4th quarters
(Edit: I forgot college doesnt play 4 quarters, they play 2 halves. But other than that the purpose of timeouts at the end of the game is the same)
Thank you, appreciate this, and makes complete sense
@@DNReacts for sure 👊🏽
Last thing you might wanna know is in situations when they don't call a timeout, it's usually because they're out of timeouts or there's a better chance of scoring on a "fast break" play - meaning if a player gets a rebound, his teammates can start running to their spots on the other end of the court before the other team's defenders can catch up to them, leading to easy scores
(Edit: "fast break" = "counter attack" in soccer or futbol)
4:45 I wasn’t alive to see this game… but I’ve watched it many times. This was the national championship game… Micheal Jordan’s first step to becoming the GOAT😊
While you guys are doing a great job learning about this stuff, College Basketball has several layers of deeper interest as the season progresses on. Coaches that move between schools, recruiting scandals, huge rivalries like Duke/UNC, rules about entering the NBA that means some really AMAZING players only play for 1 or 2 seasons and leave for the pros, certain schools are "basketball schools" which means they are only really good at basketball and hardly even play other sports.
I recommend picking a school each and just following that one for a season. I'd say don't pick rivals, pick two equally good and storied teams from different conferences, and get to know the starting players, the coach and some of the traditions. Then, as they enter March Madness, you can track how they're doing. While the tournament as a whole is fun, and all the betting and rivalry are great, having "some skin in the game" with a specific team you're cheering on amplifies the experience. I'd say pick teams like Duke and Kentucky, or some other combination and watch a few of their games before the big tournament beings.
I'm a die hard OSU fan. GO POKES!
Thanks for this Casey, we’ll definitely look to do this before March Madness. It’s a great idea
@@DNReacts The teams that traditionally all do well are Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and North Carolina. They are collectively referred to as the Blue Bloods partly because they are basketball royalty, also because all of these school have Blue as their primary color. Kansas is the current defending national champions. Other teams that have good history are UCLA, Indiana, and Villanova.
Fun fact, that clip where UMBC beat Virginia is the only time in the history of the tournament where a #16 seed beat a #1 seed
Usually teams call a timeout, but other times refs call it to confirm the time and sometimes 2 or 3
When you see a game stopped immediately after a basket is made, it means they called timeout.
Thanks Greg!
Should do "One Shining Moment" which ends the March Madness tournament.
Every March, insanity happenes
Altha every made basket the clock stops and the other team takes the ball out of bounds and throwing bottles so after every made basket the clock stocks
Love love your channel as an American sports junkie I really appreciate the way you guys are jumping into our sports, AND figuring the out the rules etc of each sport as fast as y’all have is impressive. Subbed.
Thank you, that’s great, really appreciate the support and love that you’re enjoying the channel. Tough taking on so many sports at once but getting there 😅
So UMBC as a 16 seed beating UVA as the #1 overall seeded team in the entire tournament by 20 is the game I mentioned would be equal to a team in the 4th or 5th level of English football beating Man City by 3 goals. First and only time it's happened so far.
As for the Michigan timeout, he called a timeout when the team didn't have any left so it's a technical foul, which means UNC, the team they were playing, got 2 free throw attempts and possession of the ball. And Michigan was down when the timeout was called so that effectively clinched the game for UNC.
This video is just a taste of the most memorable moments in March Madness history. They didn't show Valpo's game winner, Northern Iowa beating #1 seeded Kansas, Aaron Harrison's heroics for Kentucky, Kemba Walker, any of the other 15 seeds beating 2 seeds besides Florida Gulf Coast (the big dunk in the video), Dayton's game winner vs Ohio State, NC State winning the National Championship on a dunk and Jim Valvano running around the court looking for someone to hug, etc. There should be plenty of other videos to find and watch to see those moments.
You guys should react to the Purdue vs. UVA Elite Eight game from 2019. One of the craziest games I can remember
Thanks Matt, have added to our list!
