College basketball player under federal investigation for allegedly fixing games
- Thread starter Blue-ish
- Start date
I remember when this happened last year and they stopped betting on at least 2 Temple games. Dude will do some hard time or sing like a canary and risk his life later on against some criminal organization I’d say.College basketball player under federal investigation for allegedly fixing games: report

It makes me sad to say but I halfway expected this to be an article about WCS in 2015.
That was a great documentary. Did you watch Bad Sport about Arizona State point fixing or Untold: operation Flagrant foul?
He will sing like a canary and opt for witness protection. This could get very, very ugly. Wonder if some refs and other school folks will get caught up in this.
Fixing games is as old as gambling itself; but once the mob got involved. Yeah.....

It just always felt like he threw that game in 2015 against Wisconsin. He probably didn’t (I hope) but I wouldn’t be blown away to find out he did.
WCS did seem strangely useless on defense that game.
That whole game was stupid. Cal Stall Ball, Missed Calls by Higgins Yet Again, WCS becoming a ghost.
Offense too. He played the most minutes on the team and his only two points were that fast break to start the game.
To get someone to ask so we could have people debating ideas or thoughts as if they were factual. Not enough actual drama going on so there's a need to create some. Yet so many fall for it hook, line and sinker. Kuddos OP🚽🧻🚽
Yup that’s the one I was talking about . I couldn’t think of the name .
Starts out allowing you to just win by 7 or 8 pts. That had to somewhat feel innocent to a player back then .
But ends up wanting you to lose a game for your team . You’re far too deep into it by that point .
Yeah that was a damn good documentary. Easiest way for non superstar recruits to make money back then.
Bingo . I get that he was a guard but I find it amazing that a player was able to pull it off with only letting one player in on it .
Any of this why Aaron Bradshaw isn't playing for Ohio State right now???
Maybe Cal was fixing that game. Wait nevermind that's how he always coaches.
Yes, I agree. I had a strange feeling about WCS and that game. Something just seemed off. I still remember having that feeling.
Probably because of his “chasing butterflies “ game against Wisconsin, but I’m guessing.
And for those saying it may not be point shaving because Bradshaw isn't a guard and can't influence as easy. He absolutely can. Missed FTs, fouls to send other team to the line or offensive fouls to create a TO, other TOs, etc are all previous examples of point shaving in the past.
I hope it's not for a lot of reasons. The primary being Bradshaw could face federal prison time. Wire fraud is no joke folks, and the FBI don't play when it comes to it.

Do you have a single fact to back up that wild and serous charge against a Wildcat great. I hope you do sir, because if not what you've said is UNACCEPTABLE
I mean there was a reason why Pete Rose never got the Hall of Fame you know what I'm saying....
Don't gamble on the sport you play

Years ago I read an article - I believe it was in Sports Illustrated - about player who got involved in point shaving. He said the thing is, you don’t have to allow your team to lose, you don’t even have to lower your own output. All you really have to do is give whoever you’re guarding an extra foot or so of space. He claimed once you do that, most college players will show an immediate improvement and that’s how you manage the spread - not by scoring less, but by allowing the other team to score easily enough to stay within the spread.
Now that sports gambling is legal in Kentucky that increases the chances that this could happen here. No one is immune from this.College basketball player under federal investigation for allegedly fixing games: report

Guys, it has happened at UK before. One of the most famous instances in sports history. I once bet on UNLV while Tark was still there. Spread was 18. They're up 40 with five minutes to go. Tark puts his scrubs in and they're dribbling it off their leg out of bounds. The other team cut it to 17 with 30 seconds to go and I won on a last second layup. That was 30-something years ago and I haven't bet basketball since. There are too many factors involved. Not only the players, but the coaches and yes, the referees, too
