Yeah, but the slower officials could be stationed at each end, keeping them fresh and, hopefully, far less likely to be trying to make calls from bad angles because they're tired and thinking "SOMEthing must have happened -- better blow my whistle!"

The main goal is to never have a floor zone left unmonitored. Watch how often on fast breaks some officials are making judgements about whether a foul under the basket was an offensive foul or a defensive block from way out at the foul line or even further. Having someone permanently moored under each basket would ensure the many, many fast breaks some teams get each game are going to have a better chance of being fully seen by officials to be able to make the correct call instead of them not being in position to see it clearly.

Jaloni Cambridge is killing it early on for Ohio State. Hope UT doesn't play them this season.
Also UCONN was 56.5 favorites, took the other team +56.5. Just another reason to root against them. That's a ridiculous spread.

UNI putting it on #8 Iowa State. Can we stop pretending Iowa State is a top 10 team now? Bunch of out of shape white girls and Crooks conditioning is worse not better so far. No way they are a Top 10 team.

UNI not playing scared, lost their best player to a season ending injury over the weekend and they are playing inspired. Their defense is absolutely smothering. Beautiful half court defense and communication.

Blades for Vandy is the real deal. Another incredible young un. Still no Justine.

Vandy playing the worst schedule in the country again though. Even their two P4 non-con games are against a terrible looking Arizona team and a rebuilding Miami team with a new coach.

They did about the same last year and it didn’t serve them well. SEC hit them like a ton of bricks just like it will this year.

Blakes has looked great against inferior competition but will have a shock to her system come SEC play. Freshman don’t always handle that well and they are relying on her for a lot.

Also I believe Justine played in the previous game or two so idk what is up there. Must have some sort of nagging injury.
