Stopped reading there. Jk, kind of.

I didn’t realize they play four quarters. 

I saw the score of 43-4 as I was previewing the channel to select….tuned in to see if correct because I thought ND was always really good. Watched until ND scored and that was it.


Shitty early afternoon tv though. Watching Gtown and UConn

Womens game has the quarters thing right. Mens should go that way. Would significantly help the foulingnissues and make it more like the NBA

Does college women's reset the fouls after every quarter like NBA?

The team leading fouling at end of game when up 3 is making the games take longer and sucking the excitement out of it. And I’ve seen a ton of guys make free throws they’re trying to miss.

My least favorite thing in sports: team trailing with couple seconds left trying to inbound ball and needs to go length of court. They attempt a full court pass into three defenders that has no chance. Turnover. End of game.

I appreciate the timely use of sarcasm. Not sure what happened to the team that beat Duke (or, for that matter, Illinois on the road last fucking week), but they looked like a team that would get handled by 40 against a top 10 team last night. No defense other than Liddell's blocks and no offense beyond 2-3 people.

I know injuries and illnesses have plagued the team all year and last night they were without Key and only had a few minutes of Young, but getting dumped at home by the shittiest team in the conference is a very bad look.

The last 3 loses by OSU have been, "worst loss of the season". Which is not a trend you like to see. Thankfully, they cant really top losing at home to Nebraska the rest of the way, so the trend should be done.

It almost seemed scripted. That was legit the most perfect thing for that rivalry.

OSU was up 37-28 and then just sucked the next 11 minutes. UM had a huge run. 28-7 run.


Not good.

That NEC championship was bizarre. Fight breaks out in stands, game paused for 25+ minutes. I typically like the small conference championships taking place in small gyms but it didn’t seem to help anything in this instance. Or that they were playing at Bryant’s gym instead of a neutral site.

Sucks for Bellarmine that they can be one of the top teams in their small conference and win the conference tournament, only to be fucked out of the Big Dance because they're in a "transitional" stage of moving from D2 to D1 and have to be postseason-ineligible for four years because the NCAA hierarchy is a collection of incompetent twats who exist to screw over others with moronic rules.

So, yeah, big ups to Jacksonville State, who backed into the NCAA tournament despite not even being in the conference tournament championship game because they had a better regular season conference record than the team who won the conference tournament OR the team that beat them in the conference tournament.

Its one thing to be on probation. What TF is the point of a 4 year waiting period? LOL
