All-Time Spurs Collapse & the Texas Tech Gambling Scandal

James and Spencer recap an NBA Finals swing in which the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead after coming back from down 29 to beat the Spurs 107-106, criticizing San Antonio’s late-game execution, coaching decisions, De’Aaron Fox’s mistake, and Victor Wembanyama’s fourth-quarter struggles while still arguing the Spurs’ talent could fuel a comeback and discussing Finals MVP and betting odds. They then cover the college football controversy involving Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby, who admitted to betting on his Indiana team, was ruled ineligible, sued citing addiction, and received a temporary injunction; the NCAA appealed, and the Big 12 and others discussed refusing to play Texas Tech, which they say is a major black eye for the sport.
