Quick review of my NCAA Tourney bad beats...

Because my wife and kids don't seem to think it's a big deal.
I usually hit between 90-92% on all my bets, but had a couple bad beats this week:
1. Not a bad beat, but really Kentucky?
2. Not a bad beat, but really RAS, Hawaii? Just kidding, what a solid week!
3. Following 1st half trends of unders Thurs, Oregon/Ok State 1st half under 62. 61 points, Oregon ball last possession. Run the clock down to 3 secs, shoot an awful 3, airball. Oregon catches airball behind the backboard and windmills a layup at buzzer. Damn!
4. Miami vs Pacific 1st half under 57 - Miami holds for last possession with 54 points. Larkin throws alley oop with 6 secs left, misses oop but gets fouled. Makes both free throws. Pacific (who has scored 16 points in the 1st half) inbounds and hits a 3 at the buzzer, wow! Called DirecTV for a new remote.
5. Cincy +3 1/2, not a bad beat, but lost by 4, ugh!
6. Kansas/W.Kentucky over 61 1/2 1st half - Too may details to list, but had 61 points with 50 seconds left and both teams couldn't find their assholes from a hole in the ground. Called Panasonic about TV warranties.
7. Kansas/North Carolina under 77 2nd half - Back to Kansas who can't find their assholes. The worthless points scored in this 2nd half in which they scored the magic # of....you guessed it, 78.
8. Miami/Illinois, Miami -4 1/2 1st half - Miami up 5 holding last possession. 7 secs left, inlet pass to Doughboy. Instead of Doughboy thinking the ball is a doughnut, he thinks it's a salad and tosses a wide-open layup into the 2nd row. Illinois inbounds and goes the length of the court for a layup. FML! Called the cops to report a murder/suicide!
That was therapeutic, thanks for listening.

This has to be BW
Really? What happened the other 8 -10%?
Seriously , that's pretty good. I only hit 85%
Listen if you can't hit 90% you belong here so please leave.
Dubbs tongue in cheek :=) right
I got one for you. I have under 127½ on Cin/Creighton The score is 54-56. with 1:42 remaining and 2 foul shots coming. I'm counting my winnings. Two foul shots made. No problem. Two missed FT's @ 53 seconds and the score is 54-60. Ok 4 pts in 50 secs. They need to score 14 pts in the last 53 secs. for me to lose. THEY SCORE 16!
Just got back from Olympia Hills Golf Club, shot a 67! Thanks for the replies, except yours Snakehead, bad beat!
Yes OT, 90-92% is tongue in cheek. I actually had a run last week of 2 and 18 last week (variance!) and I didn't shoot a 67 either, I stopped counting my strokes at 67 on 12.
