college basketball ?
I gotta funny feeling about the Heels and Kitties this year will be really down years. I could easily see one or both of them missing the tourny.Originally Posted by bdoughty

IMO Gonzaga is overrated.
Coaches fear controversial new rule changes may result in the year of the whistle

Oh Christ.
If it gets to the point where they can't go more than 30 seconds without a whistle, I'm gonna stop watching college basketball. I love college basketball, but I fucking hate this whistle every 15-30 seconds bullshit that completely destroys momentum for teams, it runs the flow of the game and it just makes the game drag on and on and makes me more willing to find someone else to watch.
WVU scrimmage against Fairmont State was like that too. Game lasted like 2 1/2 hours and hit the 2 hour mark with a good 7 minutes left in the game before they stopped calling as many fouls and let them play a little bit at the end. It was pretty disgusting to watch.
Well we are officially underway now.
Nebraska played Sweet 16 Cinderella Florida Gulf Coast last night. Even though FGCU returned 4 starters, NU destroyed them to open up the new Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The dude abides.
The statistical variance that was "Dunk City" has come back down to earth. They were just barely a top 100 basketball team last season going off of the efficiency ratings and currently rated 151 on Kenpom this season.
If you are a small school its all about getting "hot" at the right time.
Yeah. They just barely got into the tournament last year which was what made their run all that more interesting to watch.
New coach also didn't help FGCU, but Nebraska usually struggles with Directional Tech State in basketball non-conference so it was an impressive win, regardless of foe.
NU opened a new arena and had Karmin (the female group member is from NE) sing the National Anthem and Tommy Lee DJ'd before the game.
Re: rule change. It's bad enough when it's two good teams that get dragged down, but the game becomes completely unwatchable when two poor teams cannot play for more than 20-30 seconds per call.
STAT OF THE DAY: yesterday, five teams attempted at least 50 free throws. Last season, 11 did -- the ENTIRE season.

yep going to be lots of whistles this season thanks to the fine folks at ESPN who apparently own college basketball and Jay Bilas with his idiotic ideas about not permitting defense being good for the game.
The ESPN commentators last night were constantly talking about the new rules and how its great for the game and we will just have to adjust to the officials who are just doing what they are told.
BIG night tomorrow I cannot remember a double header scheduled like this ever 4 of the top 5 in the same gym on one night.
Oh shit, that's right, the 24 Hours of College Hoops marathon is going on right now. I completely forgot. Hell yeah! I know what I'm watching all night.
Don't say I didn't warn you CLW. I told you that your trolling the Xbox One thread was going to cost Duke losses.
There are just some things I love and they are all attributed to bandwagon teams.
The Cowboys losing.
Manchester United losing.
The Yankees losing.
Notre Dame losing.
and
Duke losing in basketball. Ironically I am rooting for the football team. So it's not just you CLW, though it is a happy coincidence.
