Overinflated Basketballs in NCAA tournament

[gomovol]

What ball is Tennessee using? Is this why our offense struggles at times?

"I played at Wofford."

Stopped watching after that. I figured when I started watching that he was a fan of a team that lost. Called it.

is the ball only overinflated 'at times'?

 

[gomovol]

Could be the refs are sneaking in the over inflated balls during our cold streaks

If you knew this before hand, why did you not check the balls? It's not hard. Bringing it up AFTER the game ruins the argument and makes it sound like sour grapes. Also, we didn't change balls at each possession so each team used the same ball.

Lulz…whatever

He’s not specifically talking about our game or one game. He watched and showed footage from multiple NCAA games.

The theory is overinflated balls cause lower scores and less 3pt shooting % and closer games.

No idea whether true.

He has been saying this prior to this year.

Dalton Knecht agreed they were too bouncy

I got accused of overinflated balls when I hit on 20 at blackjack. I like to live dangerously

Now that Tom Brady is retired, I heard he is offering consulting services on how to deflate overinflated balls. Maybe Wofford can reach out to him.

So, all this begs the question...who benefits from over inflated balls?

This guy has been saying this for years; it isn't an agenda he has about a particular game. Claims that the balls that they use in the NCAAT are brand new, and because of that the leather stretches out awkwardly when inflated. To get it to bounce correctly, they have to inflate them way more than normal.

That's crazy, why would they use brand new balls? No other major sport does that.

They all do it.

Probably a urologist

The teams which rebounds the best.

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

Well we shot 50% last game, so I hope they keep the same balls for tomorrow.

Balls look over inflated
