On the WVU board they were killing Painter for fouling at the end of regulation but I like that strategy.  It just didn’t work out this time.

I thought the same. Honestly it was sort of a miracle that he didn't end up correct. When the rebound ricocheted way past half court, I figured it was over. Because a pinpoint perfect 3/4 length pass and sinking a contested, buzz beating tear drop 2-pointer was not a likely final 4 seconds.

Here is what I think was Painter’s thinking on the last possession.  I think he either anticipated UVA sending a double on Edwards once he crossed half court or anticipated Edwards being fouled. Either way he wanted to get the ball up court and get a shot off before either could happen.  But that pass up the sideline doesn’t leave a lot of room for error.

Yeah, it was a tough pass. And even tougher if you figure that it's practically guaranteed to be a jacked 3 by Edwards or Cline and both are being tightly defended against a 12-inch think alley at the sideline.

Because they got bailed out by their buddies in black and white, last week.

Meh. The 2 missed calls in the last 30-seconds? The complaints are legitimate but missed calls like that happen all the time and I thought there were several bad calls in UCF's favor earlier in the game. You'd prefer the reffing to be perfect, but at least it was even or close enough. Also, complaining about the reffing misses how that was perhaps the best contest of the tournament (though there are 3-4 candidates, especially after last night).

Well, I'm glad I didn't reschedule our anniversary dinner to watch Purdue lose. They fought like hell, but Virginia is just a damn good basketball team.

Wow, you are quite the good husband.  This gives me an idea for a new thread because I definitely would have rescheduled the dinner.

If someone felt that was an outcome from strategy, I have no way to help them.

Oh  this dinner has been planned for quite some time.
But to be clear, before selection Sunday I made it clear that if Purdue was in the elite eight in Anaheim, we would be there instead of dinner... 
She said "of course  but we're stopping at the Louis Voitton store on the way..."
I think it would have been worth it lol...
