Hugh O'Brian, Actor: Game of Death. Hugh O'Brian had the term 'beefcake' written about him during his nascent film years in the early 1950s, but he chose to avoid the obvious typecast as he set up his career. O'Brian was born Hugh Charles Krampe on April 19, 1925, in Rochester, New York, to Ohio-born parents Edith Lillian (Marks) and Hugh John Krampe, a United States Marine Corps. After winning the award for games played Feb. 17-19, he was selected for the same honor for games played Feb. Taormina has hit.500 to start 2017. The 2017 season will is the fi rst.
Those are just some of the words being tossed around to describe the final possession of the West Virginia Mountaineers’ season. And to be honest, it’s hard to argue otherwise.
The Mountaineers had the ball down three with 37.9 seconds left on the clock — plenty of time to score quickly and foul, or, milk it for the last shot.
Or, do whatever it was West Virginia did.
The team’s leading scorer Jevon Carter (finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds) was the target, and got the ball with plenty of time on the clock, but decided to heave up a contested three that resulted in an air ball.

West Virginia got the rebound and dished back to Carter, who chucked it up from downtown yet again, this time grazing the rim.
The Mountaineers got the rebound, a fresh shot clock, and could hold for the last shot again.
So they gave it to Carter once more, who paced behind the arc looking for his third three-point attempt until he inexplicably dished it off to Daxter Miles Jr., who tried in vain to get a shot off with time about to expire to no avail.
And just like that, the Mountaineers season was over with a 61-58 loss to Gonzaga. But, Twitter’s reactions were just beginning.

WVU played the 30 seconds like there was one second left.
Then they played the last one second like there was 30 seconds left. https://t.co/y612yjnzmg

Air ball three, 30 foot three, dribble for 10 seconds and then dump it off with a second left. Yikes #WVU
