This game just ended. 17 minutes after I posted this. I posted this with about 4 minutes left in the second OT. The ref show sucks.Marquette Xavier in a fun 2OT game... except they’ve gone to the video monitor like 15 times in overtime. Ban video reviews.
For the bubble watch, Wisconsin was right on the edge and took a huge blow today. Kobe King (2nd leading scorer) announced he is transferring.
WTF?Plus Brad Davidson is suspended for a game for going Muhammad Ali on someone's beanbag.
WTF?
I can honestly say I have never intentionally jammed someone in the 'nads. So ****ed up.
Xavier has been one of the more disappointing teams this year. Like UCLA and Washington, the talent is there to be so better than the record they've earned.Seton Hall getting absolutely waxed at home by Xavier in the scrambled eggs start time. Had absolutely no interest in playing so far. Xavier looking forward their first Q1 win.
I always get annoyed when the announcers say that a team doesn't need a 3 -- which they say every damn time. Coaches often follow the same bad logic. It's not that I don't mind an easy 2 if there's time to foul and then have a reasonable offensive set on your next possession after fouling. But too often I see teams focused on getting a 2pt shot in that situation instead of running offense with the first option being a shooter getting a look at a 3. That 2 should be when it's there as an easy layup due to an overplay by the defense toward your shooter.Not sure what the hell TT was doing there at the end of game. Down by 3 and they got 2 shots within the final 11 seconds and both times they drove to the bucket. I suppose on the first shot they were hoping for a quick score and then foul, then on the 2nd attempt they must have just been hoping to get a bucket and the foul but I'd think their best chance was to just shoot the 3.
Dome will be a drunken madhouse for this 8pm start. Will Cuse have something for Duke?
