St Mary’s beat something called Stanislaus St 107-28. 

Is that like Mike Tyson Santa Claus?

UL down 18 mid 2H to Chattanooga. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Tied with :47 left in Durham. 

[Js1 85257]

This game is very fun

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Fuck, shit should not take this long. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

1:12 left at 8:00, will be about 20 minutes to finish those 72 seconds. 

[Js1 85257]

Fuck Duke

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Sorry, Duke. 

[Dewey 3286]

Mizzou got that first half shine, second half shit thing going on. 

[tbone_ 14105]

Zona balled.

[BRLA 106]

And LSU somehow lost to NIcholls State (LA) as a 20 point favorite after coming back from a 24 point deficit AT home.

[Underdog 28543]

Watched a bit of Gtown/Holy Cross and then changed channel thinking Hoyas had it, Crusaders ended up beating them 68-67. 

[Underdog 28543]

Another T25 upset last night as Weber St beat St Mary’s.

UK? 

KU?

Meteor Strike?

 

Colgate up 13 on Syracuse late 1H.

[Underdog 28543]

Syracuse pulls off the comeback, Marquette/Illini doing battle on FS1.

[Underdog 28543]

This is a swell start, wonder what they're selling on qvc? 

[Underdog 28543]

Marquette will hold off the Illini. 

[Underdog 28543]

Well this escalated quickly. 

[Underdog 28543]

Goodness gracious! 

[Underdog 28543]

Wasn't expecting that half given the start, still plenty of time for Coach Underachieve to fuck it up. 

[Underdog 28543]

Might be the most fun team to watch under Cal. 

[Degenerate Gardner 4085]

It’s a bummer we don’t get to see Ron Holland on The Bilastrator’s Top 10. He could have done amazing things with the Horns this year and vice versa.

[Blotto 23484]

That Reeves cat for UK sure isn't afraid to shoot it. Might want to let others have a try. 

[Underdog 28543]

The better team starting to reassert themselves. 

[Underdog 28543]

This pace scares Cal to death. 

[Degenerate Gardner 4085]

Tre Mitchell is a selfish quitter. Change my mind.

[Underdog 28543]

The opportunity was there.

Fucking nihilists, man.

[Underdog 28543]

Fully expected a KU beatdown, pleasantly surprised of the outcome. 

[Degenerate Gardner 4085]

I am categorically against bailing on your teammates mid season. I think it reveals something about your character, or at least the influence and ambition around you that negates any character.

Dickinson can  play, but he's got a fairly high douche quotient.

Afternoon basketball on the U, Vermont/Charleston with about 2 minutes left in 2H. 

[Underdog 28543]

Vermont wins, now it’s St John and North Texas in Charleston Classic. 

[HtownHorn 14663]

The upcoming UH vs. St. John's finals in this Shiners Charleston classic should be a good one. Potential to be a underrated preseason tournament.

SIAP and all that if this has been posted and discussed. On this season’s block-charge rule change and other stuff. News to me but it’s from June.

Quote

The NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee on Thursday approved several rule changes including a modification to the legal guarding position on block/charge scenarios involving defenders around the basket which will go into effect for the 2023-24 season. Under the new rule, a defender to draw a change must be in position at the time an offensive player plants a foot to go airborne to attempt a field goal. If the defender arrives after the offensive player plants a foot to launch towards the hoop, officials will be coached to call a block if or when contact occurs.

The rule change also states that a secondary defender would have to be outside the restricted area arc to legally draw a charge. Under the previous rules structure, defenders had to be in position to draw a charge beforethe offensive player went airborne. 

The NCAA's Men's Basketball Rules Committee announced the changes Thursday after receiving feedback from membership that too many charges were being called throughout the season related to these types of block/charge plays. The goal in making the change will be to reduce the number of charges called and also to give officials more time to officiate the plays, the NCAA said. 

"Our goal is to try to reduce the number of charges that are called," said Rick Barnes, Tennessee's coach and the committee chair, earlier this year when the rule change was initially proposed. "We want to give more time to the offensive player to adjust to defensive player movement and reduce the hard collisions that are taking place."

Well we don’t’ know what he said. I’m 99.9% sure that’s why he got ejected.

[Underdog 28543]

UK plays something called Stonehill tonight, best Google could help me with... 

[Underdog 28543]

St John/Dayton game has been rather entertaining. 

[HtownHorn 14663]

UH's inability to shoot consistently keeping Utah in the game. Utah at the line down one.
