I knew that NC State beat the odds beating Clemson 69-67 with a buzzer-beater earlier today, but I just couldn’t help myself.
I needed to know how bad the odds were as the time ticked off the clock.
(The following data is from ESPN’s Gamecast.)
When Torin Dorn hit a three pointer with 2:24 left in the game, NC State had a 41.5% chance of winning.
Had NC State snagged the defensive rebound when Marcquise Reed missed a 3-point attempt, I’m not sure what the odds were, but they would have been better than Clyde Trapp getting 3 offensive rebounds that ended in a layup.
