Today's games have been better than Ambien if you're trying to sleep. I should have watched DVR instead.
I don't know why we bother with these games.
Everyone knows the real national Champion was decided last Sunday.
Congrats to the Cavaliers

I f Arizona wins tonight. Arizona v SDSU could have some really good defense, but probably not many points.
edit- tomorrow night

Golly I hope so. Today has been monumentally bad. It doesn't help that I have been rooting for each of the teams that has gotten blown out.
What is taking so long on this review in the Syr. game? It's going to be a flagrant 1 I assume?
Oregon/Wisconsin has combined for more points in 10 minutes than Syracuse/Dayton in 24 minutes.
Someone help me with this flagrant rule - I just do not understand what the hell a player is supposed to do upon catching a ball and having a defender 1/2 an inch from his face. I mean, what is the answer?
It's not a good rule, but you can move without swinging your elbow through. Dribble the ball and move your feet.luckysox said:
They should be calling a foul when the guy is so close he's bumping you. That would be the way to make that rule work. But they don't call that.
Often is a foul but not in that case though, there was no actual contact until he swung the elbow through. It was good defense and a bad pass/ positioning on the catch.The Filthy One said:
Oh awesome, we've reached the "let's randomly call anything close to breathing on a guy a foul" stage of the game.
You can almost hear Cooney's thought process when he touches the ball - "Please let me make it, please let me make it." It's sad.
It's okay, he has a long future playing background heavies and alcoholic girlfriend abusers in bad television shows.luckysox said:
How do you not call that. Guy throws a lob, intended target gets a forearm to the face from the defender.
The announcer is absolutely wrong about the rule there. He swung out the arm to clear space, that should have been a flagrant 1.
And now a tech.
That was a 7 point swing.

Oregon plays baskteball they same way they play football. I love it, they have more points in 20 minutes than Syracuse or Dayton have in 35.
