Cookie overcomes Larry Vanovers temporary fight with near sightedness to get Bruce.

Please, make the virtual umpires a thing sooner than later, MLB.

Disagree. I saw no "2 hand shove." And I am not a Duke fan.

I didn't see 2 hands either, but it was a powerful left hand shove.

Barrett with the 2 hand shove in the back to get that “offensive rebound” on the FT. Trash officiating. Right after Zion plowed through this defender.

I'm sure he wasn't jumping at a 45 degree angle to take his body directly under the hoop! Also the UCF blown dunk that would have put them up 6 with less than 2 minutes was big.

One of the games after this one, I saw a team score a first half FG and the game clock showed 42 sec. Then the other team took their time with the clock running and then rolled the ball in. By the time it was touched there were 32 secs on the game clock and 30 sec on the shot clock. This allowed them to run the clock down enough the other team wasn't able to get another shot off.

The LSU clock management at the end of the 2nd half, getting the 2 for 1, was excellent as compared to just the opposite in letting Md get the 2 for 1 in the first half on two treys by Wiggins in the last minute to put up the last 6 points of the half for Md.

Am I correct that in the last minutes of the 2nd half they stop the clock when a made FG goes thru the net, but do not stop the clock in the first half? By not doing it in the first half they create a loop hole for a perfectly managed shot at about 40 sec that goes thru the hoop and the other teams fools around with the ball long enough to get the game clock down around 30 sec so that when they do throw the ball in bounds, there won't be enough time for there to be a 2 for 1 for the team that executed perfectly! Need to make both halves end the same way on clock timing.

Terrible defensive foul call on Wofford with 16 sec left. Ky makes two FT to put them up 4, instead of a Wofford rebound and a chance to win it with a trey, or tie with two.

Waters cavorts in the lane and lays one up for the win for LSU, thru the net with less than 2 sec left.

Skylar Mays gets his shooting touch back and gives LSU a 3 point lead with 40 sec left. Then Smith matches the trey from the corner to tie with 20 sec left.

LSU shooters have lost their touch against the Md zone in the 2nd half. LSU has given up their halftime lead, which should have been bigger, due to clock mismanagement.

I would expect the number of "minor injuries" to increase as a way to subvert that type of rule. There's no way they could make a pitcher stay in there if he said his arm felt funny.

If an injury, they just give up IBB until the 3 batter requirement is fulfilled. I'm not if favor of a DH for pitchers, they can only be hit for by a pinch hitter. But I am in favor of a designated defensive player and a designated hitter in his spot in the line-up, and the DF could pinch run in 5 of the 9 innings and each extra inning. This would allow us to enjoy the great fielding and baserunning skills of those that are hitting challenged. After Sept. 1st you can have as many as you want on the roster, but only 22 are allowed on the line-up card for each game.

Last weekend was in New Orleans for 3 beautiful days in the mid 60's, then cruise ship to Cozumel and Merida in Mexico with sunny temps about 80. Was snorkeling with some beautiful fish and water when it was below zero at home. Got back just as the last snow was melting off the driveway and today was sunny and in the 60's. Picked the right week to do that!

So is anyone that didn't like the game because it was marked by triumph of scheme, tactics, and strategy excited for baseball season?

Scheme, tactics, and strategy utilizing the talent on your team to rise to execute it is what I enjoy most about watching sports.
