Bad Beats From Last Night: Two Covers Flipped in the Final 27 Seconds

BAD BEATS FROM LAST NIGHT · NOVEMBER 13, 2026

Two Thursday tickets flipped in the final 27 seconds. Indiana’s bench surrendered a half-point cover, while Western Illinois converted two late free throws that erased Cal State Bakersfield’s cover.

Indiana covered for ten seconds—and then did not

Indiana’s second-half performance was dominant enough to produce a 29-point lead and a 90–64 advantage after Vaughn Karvala made two free throws with 37 seconds left. At a closing spread of Indiana -24.5, Hoosiers tickets were ahead by 1.5 points.

Tennessee Tech used the remaining possession instead of dribbling out the clock. Gonzales scored with 27 seconds left, cutting the final margin to 24. That basket changed the ATS winner: Indiana won comfortably on the court, but Tennessee Tech +24.5 cashed by half a point.

The spread drama came after Indiana had controlled the basketball game. The Hoosiers shot 66.7% in the second half, won that period 49–29 and held Tennessee Tech to 34.3% overall. The market result was decided after the competitive result was settled.

Two free throws erased Bakersfield’s cover

Cal State Bakersfield had already completed the difficult part: it rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit, shot 63.3% after halftime and reached 91 points despite making only one three-pointer all night. Tom Koppens’ two free throws with 25 seconds left made it 91–81—a 10-point lead and a half-point cover at -9.5.

Western Illinois kept playing. Kvamme drew a foul and made both free throws with 17 seconds remaining. The final margin fell to eight, giving Western Illinois +9.5 the cover. BetSharp’s closing screen also showed Western Illinois +8.5 at another book; that ticket covered by only half a point, illustrating why the exact sportsbook and timestamp matter.

The late swing capped a game with a dramatic reversal of its own. Western Illinois led 57–48 with a little more than 14 minutes left. Bakersfield tied it at 61, then used its interior offense and the foul line to take control: 54 points in the paint and 30 made free throws supplied nearly all of the Roadrunners’ scoring.
