I seriously doubt it … And those kids were torn apart by losing that game.

Hmmmm.  It has only taken a couple of the right two players to shave points.  The remainder of the players were unaware.  My opinion—it’s possible.  I was just asking if anyone else has an opinion.

I watched the last 47 seconds, and I don't believe I have ever seen a BB team shoot themselves in the foot like Houston did!

Does anyone think that the fix was in?  It’s happened before.  I can think of Boston College and Arizona State.  It may be more likely today with increased gambling.

I seriously doubt it considering most of these kids have NIL money that is higher than what some highstakes gambler is going to pay them to through the game.  And those kids were torn apart by losing that game.

I was just looking at their site the other day, I though how professional it looked, the new products and assumed they must be doing great.  We did the Product Reviews on their unit on Pelletheads.  They always treated us well the last couple of American Royal appearance's we made.  It is a shame.  I really do not have need for web based temperature monitoring, so something like the ThermoWorks bluetooth products work well around the house! 

Thanks for the info!

I bought one of their products years ago.  They were charging for IOT connectivity.  I later bought Fireboard and never looked back.

I remember this being a concern of those who bought their equipment years ago.  Didn't realize it was 15 years ago.  Too many big time companies with deeper pockets that can continue to invest in product development probably has not helped them.  Its unfortunate unless it was something that the company had planned for as their exit strategy.

Thank you.  It was another great game.  I thought Houston was going to win.  I don't think I've seen a team fall apart like that in the last minute of a game.  They were so good in the closing minutes of the Duke game.

I just received an email from them to notifying their customers.  They had been in business for 15 years.

It's a great day to be living in gatorland.  We moved from the SF Bay Area to Gainesville over a year ago.

Huza to Robert, 2025 Champion!

Yeah, that was unfortunate.  Completely opposite of the composure they had during last few minutes of the game against Duke in the semis.
