A real heart-breaker.

So the Portland State Vikings were down to The (23 point) Spread by one point, 85 to 61.  Kansas had the ball, with one second separating the shot clock and the game clock, meaning in all probibility, the Vikings would have one last shot to beat The Spread.   Kansas shot and missed with seven second left, and Portland State rushed down the court.  A Spread-beating buzzer-beating 3 point shot was aimed, and…

It rimmed off.  Portland State lost to the Spread by one point.  Almost beat it.  But almost is only good in horseshoes.

Oh well.  There’s always next year.  Next Year the Portland State University Vikings will make the Tournament, and goshdarnedit, they will BEAT THE SPREAD!
