[Pancho 44876]

Thank god we don’t get Doug “LOOK AT ME!” Sirmons as one of our refs tonight as he’s in the UNC/Michigan State game

[Underdog 28750]

Dear Coach Izzo, 

Please oh please with sugar on top do your thing one last time, repeat your 2019 NCAAT magic if you will. 

Sincerely, 

Underdog

When did they change the rule to allow players to wear numbers like 7, 9 & 16?

[Firemans4Horn 18117]

MSU playing really well. 

[beer 3220]

Ever consider a timeout to regroup?

Tar Heels in panic mode on offense 😂

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Nice reward for earning a one seed - getting Izzo in round 2. Meanwhile Illinois gets Oakland.

Why were they now allowed prior?

Because men’s college basketball loves to live in the past???

Did you have to grow extra fingers to ref, or how did things change?

When refs signal to the scorer's table who committed a foul, they flash each digit of the player's jersey with the same hand - i.e. if #15 commits a foul, the ref will flash a 1 and then a five with their hand.  Thus number must be less than or equal to five.

You do the same as the NBA refs where those jerseys are also legal—you use your voice when reporting the foul.

Most scorekeepers at this level are able to follow the game very, very closely (they have to or they get fired) so they’ll know who the foul is on before you even report it 98% of the time. They aren’t your local high school moms who do the scorekeeping at the high school, they have to read the rule books and stuff as well.

Odd thing is that they used to allow it:

[Braff Zacklin 13634]

That No.99 was really pushing his luck.

Probably prone to fouling out and thus the impetus for the "5 or less" rule.

Habitual line stepper.

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

Antonio Alfonseca can start on his next career as basketball ref.

[Buzzrock 14934]

Go Sparty FUNC

[CashMcCoy 3199]

He’s accomplished enough to get away with saying stuff like this, but I still think it’s a terrible quote. Few things I enjoy more in college basketball than a Kansas tournament loss.

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

Greenspoint time in this one.

I was wondering wtf was going on with 27's right arm before realizing it was the leg of the dude behind him.

Currently shooting 7.7% from the field. WSU not exactly lighting it up across from them.

I've always hated UNC, but I do like Hubert Davis.

UNC is kinda strange.  I should hate them but we seemed to have their number and they hate Duke so I'm good with them.  Davis seems pretty solid.

MSU is hanging but it feels like NC is just gonna pull away slowly.

[billfromlaketravis 11520]

Can someone explain to me how UNC has played 2 games in Charlotte and they’re in the “West” Region?

PODS

 

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

Great.  Michigan State in the foul them every possession game with 3 minutes left, down by 17.  We're going to be here another hour.

[Underdog 28750]

truTV may be an option like ESPN Ocho.
