Team Colorado Pulls The Upset

Okay. Call me crazy. But the announcer calls “Schwartz for the win!” Then Schwartz hits the 3. So why did the score show a 65-61 win?

Since 2017, TBT has utilized the Elam Ending. Instead of a clock determining the end of a game, the two teams race to a target score.

At the first dead ball with under four minutes remaining in each game, the game clock is shut off, and a final target score is announced. The target score is the total of the winning team’s current score plus eight points. So, if Best Virginia were to be leading 65-60 at the first dead ball timeout with under four minutes remaining, the target score would be set to 73, and the first team to reach 73 points or more would win the game.

Explaining TBT's unique 'Elam Ending' to tournament games

They have an alternate format to end games.

At the first time out inside 5 minutes the clock is turned off and a target score is set (seems to be 10 points above the current leading score but not sure.) First team to hit a bucket reaching that score wins.

Target was 65, Schwartz hit the 3 as Colorado had 62, game over.

Interested rule that prevents teams from just playing to kill clock at the end of games and brings an element of playground ball into the game.

Edit: Sewall's post above has the correct calculation of the target score which is 8 above the current leader's score.

Dumbass take at the time, getting even worse with age. Impressive.

At time this was posted, the take was correct. It was one decision at a critical time in that game not a generalization. Peace.
 
I was trying to remember. Didn't Colorado make it to the final four or possibly the final game in the first TBT?
