This article popped up this morning. MU with two of the top-3 The Tournament Elam Endings from this past summer. Fun watching Diener & Jamil on a quick trip down memory road.

Elam Ending sucks.
(Chitowns version of ND sucks)
It kind of grew on me.
The last 2 minutes of close games aren't all fouls and time-outs, and every game ends on a walk-off winner.
I think it's worth exploring to see how it can be tweaked to be even more appealing. Years ago, 3-pointers, the shot clock and many other things we take for granted today were considered crazy changes by "traditionalists."

Marquette vs Southern would have made for an uninspiring Elam Ending.

Tbh, the 3 point line should be extended again for college and the NBA. It's really making the NBA unwatchable.

Eh, just call fouls that don't have a play on the ball intentional, and you solve the problem too.

Marquette vs Southern made for an uninspiring regular ending.

Does Cam get to make a 3 with the Elam Ending?

Yes, and we still would've needed another point to win it.
