Sure, but it being perfectly executed and getting only 0.1 to do something is why I said it was a bad play. call. Granted, the refs jobbed them of about .5 which is big, but my point stands---that's one of the risks you bear with two passes.
Even if it was executed perfectly and refs executed perfectly, with 0.6-0.7 it is pure catch and shoot, not even time for a bobble. With 1.6 a long pass does allow a bobble or brief dribble and shot.
The ref literally said Purdue needs to pick 1 of the 4 players on the floor to take the free throws for Tennessee and Webber wants them to pick the biggest scrub on the bench.
Well, in his defense Webber also tried to call a timeout to think more about it...
The Big 10/SEC Challenge in this tournament has been fantastic so far (LSU/Maryland, Tennessee/Iowa and Purdue/Tennessee).
Power outage messed with the announcing set up. CBS trying to get their shit together.
CBS can keep Reggie’s mic turned off to conserve power.
“The first to 50 is going to win this basketball game.”
“The first to 50 is going to win this basketball game.”
I don’t mind him at all. He’s approximately 100,000 times better than Mark Jackson.
Mad respect for Mike Brey who is deeply committed to his “salesman who is three drinks deep at an airport bar” look.
I don't mind Reggie, his "I'm lit" comment was pretty funny. Kevin Harlan was terrible I thought, couldn't finish a sentence all game.
Some pretty brutal offensive basketball in the late games.
If I was the rest of the field, I wouldn't want anything to do with Texas Tech right now. They challenge everything on D.
I have them beating Gonzoga but then losing in the Final Four. Beard is a damn good coach, I wish Texas could fire Smart and grab him this offseason.
not sure why smart isn't doing well at texas but he sure had the vcu rams program turned around. they were a team that would give anyone fits
Riddle me this: apparently the Sunday regional final games are on at 2pm and 4:55pm. The Saturday games are on at like 6:10 and 8:50. We bitched a bunch during the first weekend about all of the late games on Sunday and the response was that CBS was maximizing ratings, especially for the west coast. Why would the regional finals be played at 2pm and 5pm instead of say 5 and 8 or even 6 and 9 like Saturday night? I seriously don't get it.
I still don't get it. That's not a reason. They changed the way the first couple rounds were scheduled about 10 years ago. Does 2pm and 5pm really maximize ratings?
And by the way - CBS must be drooling over the possibility of UNC-Kentucky and Michigan-State on Sunday. That's like a final four.
They put the AFC/NFC title games at 3 and 6:30. Sunday afternoon is great for ratings.
RIght, but last weekend there were a shit ton of late games. Like half the games started at 7pm or later. It just seems very inconsistent.
I don't think I've ever seen a worse college basketball coach in charge of a P5 program. VCU has been very good no matter the coach, so it's a program that's built to win regardless of who is the head person.
Yeah that could be it. It's just odd. I'm not complaining though, at least not for this weekend for what could be an epic Sunday slate.
How many games were there last week? How many are there this week?
Maybe that's why there were more later?
Maybe that's why there were more later?
that's not the same vcu team it was with smart. don't get me wrong i don't really like the guy because he's arrogant but his rams were one of the toughest.
It doesn't track, though, because the two games Saturday are on late, and the two games on Sunday are on early. Both days have two games.
College basketball is more entertaining with a Bruce Pearl team. Wish BC gave him a serious look when he was out of a job after Tennessee.
It has to do with TBS having the Saturday games and CBS having the Sunday games. CBS wants the games in the afternoon to lead into 60 Minutes.
