Duncan Robinson, Stuuu playing @ 4 on ESPN2

Submitted by bleeker on

The Basketball Tournament, some odd tournament with former college players, is in their second round of their single elimination tournament. “Big X,” a team with Duncan Robinson, Stuuuuuuu, and *cough* Andrew Dakich, along with other B10 players, are playing at 4pm on ESPN2.

For those not watching, they have instituted what they are calling the "Elam Ending."  Basically at the first whistle with under 4:00 left, they determine what the point amount to win the game is and shut off the game clock.  Shot clock remains on.  Interesting concept intended to combat boring endings like the NBA Finals.  Example: first to 82 points wins.

They had a chance to win it at the end and lost 69-67.  Apparently the "Elam Ending" is determined by taking the leading team's score and adding 7 to it at the first stoppage of play after 4:00 left.  It was tied at 62 when a timeout was taken, thus setting the winning amount at 69.  It definitely has created some unique dynamics.
