Scoreboard error shows ASU trailing by a lot in NCAA Tournament
Mar 14, 2018, 6:50 PM
In the opening 10 minutes of a basketball game, there isn’t often going to be a deficit too large for a team to overcome.
For a brief moment on Wednesday, though, that was true.
In the First Four matchup between Arizona State and Syracuse, the scoreboard showed that the Orange had 12,116 points to ASU’s 11.
A 12,105-point deficit would have been asking a lot of the Sun Devils in terms of a comeback.
The actual score was 12-11 in what was a closely contested first half.
Those who caught the moment on their TVs at home were sure to document it and post it to Twitter with their own witty caption.
Even ASU’s own Twitter had fun with it.
