I think we can win this game. Butler is 3-4 at MSG since joining the Big East.(0-3 in Big East Tourney) X might have a small advantage being that they just played on that floor last night and that might help with the comfort level of playing in that arena. Downside is we played last night and dont have a lot of depth. Hopefully Jones can go tonight. Been close 2 times and i dont think this team was at 100% in either game. Sumners shoulder was already hurt for the 1st game i believe and the 2nd was without sumner and Tre was still hobbling around the court. If we minimize the stupid fouls (Q/JP) that we seem to commit early in the game and hit free throws we should be able to keep it close and pull out a late win.

I will accept this score this time only since there is no rule currenty prohibiting it. I realize you could actually win with this score but it sets a terrible precedent. In the future, I will not accept tie scores.

Doesn't he give up the points that go with picking the winner?

Yes, but it still could produce a winner. Not likely with that score and others but... It also creates extra processing for me. LOL.
