siap, hard to believe Duke is in the new Dick Vitale bball tourney

That's even more shocking than Jonathan Sanderson and Gan-Erdene Solongo both committing to Notre Dame.

They added the biggest name left in the portal. So, as a normal response to that I looked up their roster today. Feel like they have a lot of strengths and are a bit underrated. Simple as that.

I agree, although I disagree with the assessment of Maryland.  I’m not high on their group.

This is awesome - coaching challenges... like someone said "hey, let's slow these games down even more"...

It's even more ironic that they are calling it an "instant replay review challenge".

I think it’s actually supposed to eliminate that. Refs can only go to the monitor for challenges.

SIAP.  Panel approves changes to enhance the flow of the game in men’s basketball

Some excerpts from the article:

• Changes include a coach's challenge at any point in a game to review out-of-bounds calls, basket interference/goaltending and whether a secondary defender was in the restricted-area arc. The panel also approved modifications to the rule on continuous motion on field goal attempts.

• Under the coach's challenge rule, teams must have a timeout to request an instant replay review challenge. If the instant replay review challenge is successful, teams will be allowed to have one additional video review challenge for the rest of the game, including overtime. If the first video review challenge is unsuccessful, the team loses the ability to challenge the rest of the game.

• Officials can initiate video reviews on basket interference/goaltending and restricted arc plays in the last two minutes of the game and into overtime. Recent data shows these reviews caused minimal game interruptions. NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee members think the coach's challenge will have a significant impact on the flow of the game. Officials cannot conduct video review on out-of-bounds calls unless through a coach's challenge.

Under the changes to the continuous motion rule, an offensive player who ends his dribble going toward the basket and absorbs contact from the defense will be permitted to pivot or complete the step the player is on and finish the field goal attempt. Currently, players are credited with field goals only when they are fouled while shooting the basketball

I hope it does clean up the massive amount of wasted time, especially at the end of these games... but color me skeptical until it ends differently...

It was inevitable. Ziegler appears to be arguing that he’s entitled to another year for no other reason than he just simply wants to stay in college and make money. We’re right around the corner from a guy like Ziegler announcing their retirement from a college program at like 35 because they just got old. 

Federal judge has denied Zakai Ziegler's petition.

Illinois’ Ty Rodgers out for the year. Blew out his knee playing pick up ball. Unusual  player but I’ve always liked him. Competes like crazy.

Hell of a day.

Michigan State forward Kaleb Glenn has suffered a torn patellar tendon and will miss the entire season, he told @On3sports. The plan is for the transfer from Florida Atlantic to redshirt this upcoming season. Averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game at FAU.

I'll start off by imagining this is what Edey looked like in said Kia.

So, so much to unpack here. 

1. Zach Edey ...driving 101 mph in a 55 mph zone.
2. Edey's ... passed the Indiana State Police trooper's southbound vehicle at 7:03 p.m., according to a probable cause affidavit.
3. Edey ...  told police he was trying to pass a vehicle as an explanation for speeding.

-----

Ima gonna unpack this:

The vehicle that he was trying to pass at 101 mph was a State Trooper?

[Stuhoo]

(Xavier Johnson's) "Charger was going 90 miles per hour."

If X was charged with a felony, what does that make Edey at 101 mph?

[TheWatShot]

Apparently it happened on May 1....why are we just now hearing about it?

To charge they needed to identify him through police lineups, and it was damn hard to find five other 7'4", 300 lb guys?

It took the troopers 6 weeks to review the call on the monitor
