It's one thing to lose a playoff basketball game, but it's another to lose a playoff game like Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School did. They played the No. 1 seed in Gilmour Academy and stood absolutely no chance as this score might suggest:

And it was happening pretty much all game:

Usually scores like this lead to some serious anger and outrage from the losing side, but it seems this might have been one of the most chill beatdowns of all-time too. "Our intent was to not run anything up, and we took steps to not disrespect our opponent," Lancers coach Bob Beutel said, per Nathaniel Cline of Cleveland.com. "They went 0-for-28 from the field and 1-for-4 from the free-throw line. We let them shoot."
It's nice to see that there wasn't any serious fallout from this because there definitely would have been some outrage at other schools around the country for "running up the score" like that.
