This and the fact that refs are getting older (and fatter) and can’t keep up with younger, faster players. This also causes them to not be able to get into a position to get calls correct. The problem is those older refs will keep getting the games because politics. 

 

Always assumed that what’s it was. The refs are getting older and more out of shape and can’t run with the players. They’re out of position and can’t keep up, some of these games are track meets up and down the court 

[Pancho 46265]

4 quarters and FTs at the 5th foul have shown to shorten games, which is the biggest complaint now.

Men also wanted to advance the ball under 2min like women switched to a few years ago and what the NBA does—nope, didn’t want it.

[LTtxfan 49986]

I don't understand all the nuances regarding when reviews are allowed, and what things are reviewable.  Also not a fan of the rule that allows reviewing certain things only in the last two minutes of a game.

This past Saturday, it was crazy watching an out of bounds call be reversed, but refs were forced to ignore the obvious foul that caused the ball to go out.

K.J. Adams is one of the most physically impressive bad players I've ever seen. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

KU down 2 with ball, 20.5 left. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Free hoops. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

lol great defense there k state.

[Hookem2147 22012]

I can’t be the only one who thinks Tang is super fake. He was basically laughing after that final possession in regulation.

(still rooting for K State in this one)

Good win, kids.

This league is ridic. If not for the TCU game ref gift wrap, Gods gift would be 5-5.

They were terrible and it mostly benefited us. Which makes the loss sting more. The refs gifted us an opportunity and we couldn’t capitalize.

Yep.  They were awful all game, but it really benefited Iowa St for that 20-0 run.  'clones shot 18 FT's during that run to 0 for Baylor, including 6 on 1 possession when Drew was T'd up for the second time.  Then they T'd up Jakus (the assistant who was then HC) while he was telling a player where to be on defense.  Meanwhile, there was a possession where 4 ISt coaches were up in the middle of the play and they didn't even receive a warning.  

Pure insanity.  Lots of ticky tack calls on both teams.

If we didn't absolutely huff nuts at shooting FTs, we would have pulled it off.  

I told a buddy in the non-conference that this teams' woes from the stripe might cost it a chance at the Big 12 title, and I feel vindicated in that opinion.  But not happy about it by any means.

We’ve been like 80% as a team during normal play and 45% in the last 5 minutes of games.   It’s unreal the splits

Tech really emptying the bucket tonight trying to keep a warm body at the 5 spot lol

Warren Washington being out really makes it hard on us

[Brian Fantana 6862]

Man our lack of depth really hurts. We gotta get everyone non-sick and healthy for upcoming games or we're gonna be fucked.

[Brian Fantana 6862]

Better effort than I expected considering how thin we are right now. UCF at home is a must win.

[Al_4_ISU 12623]

Congrats on the win

Thanks. I thought you guys were gonna come back and punk us. Disu was unstoppable for a good 15 minutes.

We really needed you guys to beat Baylor.  We don't get a rematch in Ames with them this year.  I see plenty of potential future losses for Baylor, but this is one thing I really don't like about the lack of double round robin.  Winning the regular season will come down more to the luck of the draw going forward.

I would have said 0% chance before the game yesterday. Without our 7 footer we are really small and it's hard for us to do a lot of pick-n-roll action. They still played pretty well without him, but our lack of depth is really catching up to us with the flu stuff and this. I think he was just being held out as a precaution but still.

Stupid question amnesty question - why does 4 quarters shorten actual game time vs two halves assuming total game clock time is the same? Genuinely don’t know…

Lol I was gonna respond but the other West Texas dude beat me to it. And Pioneer has had their logo on that court as long as I can remember, probably since the B12 was formed…

FEWER TV timeouts and less clock stopping for FTs I assume since fouls reset each quarter

The difference in what it takes to get into the bonus makes sense. On the timeouts, Gillette, Budweiser, etc, still need the same number of ad minutes to spend $X, right? If men’s hoops went to quarters wouldn’t they just increase the amount/length of TV timeouts? Seems unlikely they’d want to decrease their revenue, and it seems unlikely that advertisers would pay more for the same amount of ad time….

KU’s whitey pulled a UK. 

Can’t ask for a better look to tie.

No, the amount and length of the timeouts wouldn’t change. Advertisers will pay because they know people will still watch the product. 

The tournament has carve outs for it regarding tv anyway. That’s really what advertisers care about.

I like the 2-half system.  You know exactly when the TV timeouts are going to happen.  Sometimes, I jump off the couch and head to the kitchen for a refill as a ball rolls OOB as the whistle blows.  Wife asks, "How'd you know it would be a time-out?", and I explain to her first dead ball after 12min( or corresponding spot) is a TO.
