I didn't see an evening games thread, so I'm throwing this in here.
Anybody who stuck around to watch the Indiana / Rutgers game got a chance to see something you don't see every day. With 6:58 left, Geo Baker missed a layup with the score Indiana 24, Rutgers 8.
From that point, Rutgers made 9 consecutive shots from the floor (8 twos and a three) as part of a 21-4 to take the lead. Rutgers then got credited with a missed 3 on a play where they went full Rutgers, losing track of the game clock and taking a three-quarter-court heave with 7 seconds left in the half, not 0.7 seconds. :)
Rutgers then made their first two baskets of the second half (both from two).
Rutgers is shooting 42.6% from two and 29.1% from three on the season.
The a priori chance of Rutgers making 8 consecutive twos and a three was 3167:1.
If you choose to ignore the three-quarter-court heave as a brain fart rather than a shot attempt, the chance of making 10 consecutive twos and a three was 17,458:1 against.
That's just a little better than the experimental probability of a major league pitcher throwing a perfect game (about 18,000:1).
