Suck on that Tom.

Can’t believe Purdue didn’t switch that screen

You've got a shot to win the game -- in a half-court set -- and can't even hit the rim?

Granted, there were only 1.8 seconds to work with, but still ...

Had to listen to the game and that review just took the flow out of the game.  Also Purdue's radio announcer is horrible

Yuck.  Purdue getting it done.  MUST double Edey, he's unstoppable.

Sparty "held" Edey to 26 FGA.

I could see the numbers reflecting we for the MWC. Where is Kent State for you? They seem to be a good team. Single digit losses on the road to Charleston, Houston and Gonzaga. 

Kent State is at 39th overall with a +1.08 -- right behind a trio of Big Ten teams (Wisconsin, Illinois, and Rutgers).

The MWC is going to be funny -- I could completely envision the upper teams stumbling.  There is a danger of bad losses to teams at the bottom.

1.8 seconds was definitely more time than was needed to get a desperation heave at a three.

In terms of applicability of the GIF wrong player and it's not even remotely close for as stupid as a one game suspension.

I was waiting for him to say that just once.

Washington beats Mason 78-75 in the battle of Georges. 

Not a bad little A-10 game. 

[LamarCheeks 19,574]

Someone (I think it was one of the mods) posted about Dusty a couple days back (maybe on the Woodson thread). 

Anyway, here's a little 411 on him ...

Zach Edey just got away with a huge obvious foul.  Edey hooked a Michigan State player and threw him to the for....foul called on a Michigan State player.

Can't believe this didn't generate more discussion. That was a punk move by Edey. He should have been thrown out for that, or at the very least, given a flagrant. 

 

But this is the Big Ten, and the ref who inexplicably called a foul on Cissoko won't have to answer to anyone.

Tonight, FAU has managed to overcome a dominant 0-5 fg, 3 foul performance by Khristian Lander and is beating the snot out of W Kentucky on the road.

Nick Boyd is the real deal. 17-1 for the fighting hoots.

Who’s the jackwad that missed the wide open breakway dunk with about 3 minutes left? Cost me the over/under

Sports Illustrated currently has Zach Edey mocked to be the 55th overall pick in the 2023 draft.  I understand the NBA game is completely changed and that there is such a de-emphasis on big men, but it would seem that a good coach could certainly find spots to produce situational mismatches with Edey in.  Seems to me that he's worth more than a borderline not getting drafted grade.

I thought it should have been a flagrant but certainly not ejection worthy.  It certainly looked like a hook and hold foul and I'm not sure how the ref could ever come to the conclusion that it was actually a foul on the Michigan State player.
