LSU chipping away, CMON! Pull this off LSU

 

[TennTom]

Wow, definitely a charge there.

making it a game

Just a general thought here, but basketball, particularly at the college level, needs an intervention in terms of how rules are written and, in turn, how games are officiated. Far too many games have turned into free throw festivals over the last few seasons. That leads to more points, but is the game really better for it? Is the game more entertaining to watch? I don’t believe it is.

Allowing players to defend with more physicality would lead to less points being scored, but the flow of the game would be so much better imo. Less free throw contests and more real basketball. Plus, players like Mark Sears and B.J. Mack wouldn’t consistently get bailed out for driving into the lane like a bull in a china shop.

Wisconsin is falling apart. On a three game losing streak and down 20 at Rutgers. They’ve allowed nearly 80 points to one of the worst offensive teams in college basketball.

The last 5 minutes of LSU basketball looked like their opening 5 minutes against us. Cook, Hannibal, Baker...they've all looked like garbage in this span.

 

[BallerVolFan]

You would think LSU would eventually learn to not run with Bama. They took the lead and kept trying to run with them

 

[TheMookieMonster]

South Carolina, down at half to Vandy, comes out scorching hot. So much for that potential upset.

 

[cncchris33]

Bama 18-42 from 3.

Bama 18-42 from 3.

Very few teams will ever get beat if they're hitting 3s like that. I hate Bama but that was pretty impressive to watch

 

[TheMookieMonster]

There are some really good offenses in the SEC. Can’t afford to take a night off on that end of the floor if you want to keep up.

Yep, just imagine what even an average defensive effort would like with that kind of offense.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

South Carolina has scored 24 points in the first 6 minutes of the 2nd half. It’s like Vandy is trying to tank for draft position instead of win.

At least we no longer have guys attempting to slide in front of every offensive player attempting to draw a charge with the refs trying to make some split second calls.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

South Carolina is going to head to Auburn as a borderline Top 10 opponent. Thats just crazy.

Auburn is going to wax them though.

 

[Volprofch05]

BC 28 Dook 27, 4:10 left in first half

 

[orangemadam]

Must win today just to keep up in the SEC

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Auburn apparently hasn’t won at Florida since 1996…woah. Curse of the stat box though. Flashing that means they’ll probably win now.

Kim English is doing a great job this season at Providence.

Lost best player due to injury and has team at 15-8 6-6 in Big East.

Beating Butler by 2 61-59 on road with 7 minutes left in game.

Now Ed Cooley at Georgetown lol...

Georgetown is still bad, but improving. Cooley has already won more games than the Hoyas did each of the last two seasons. He will have them back in the tournament soon.

 

[walkenvol]

Gators by 17!

 

[TennTom]

The Gata's are stomping the Flyin' Charmin Pearls by 17. Sick world where we have to root for Floriduh.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Wisconsin in free fall right now.

 

[knoxvol52]

Eh, looks as if Providence choked a game away.

Officiating or not, Providence had a couple opportunities to ice the game away..

 

[TheBigOne10]

Not looking good for Auburn!
