So it's not something that always happens. I wonder what circumstances trigger it? I saw the CPU team nail a half court shot to send a game into OT last night.

I turned it up all the way to experiment and the AI team was taking lots of 3 point shots - many of them ill advised, including their center who kept clanging them off the rim.<br/><br/>My main area of concern appears to be end of game AI. In March Madness, the AI will put up a half court shot at the end of the half to beat the buzzer, but in this game the AI dribbles it out. And the one close game I had, i got a rebound and dribbled out the 3 seconds before the game ended - with a 2 point lead. It was unclear if the AI did not foul me because they could not get to me or because I was not in the bonus yet and fouling would probably be futile, but it has me nervous.
