The OSU faithful have grabbed their pitchforks and are trying to light the torches against Holtman!

College basketball:  A Story.

Once upon a time there was a Tiger that was 12-1 and 1-0 in conference.  Five SEC games and 87 points in losses later, they were 12-6 and stuck in the dirty basement.

Watching the Chris Street retrospective on the B1G Network. Very riveting, touching and sad. 

Sorta feel bad for the snow plow driver. He was 0% at fault -- it was ruled that Street pulled out in front of him, and there was nothing he could do. 

The Streets sorta called him out for never contacting them -- to apologize or whatever. Did he have an obligation to do so -- especially when the courts found Street to be 100% at fault? Tough question. 

Regardless -- a bright light went out way too soon.

I thought IU should’ve nabbed Holtmann during the cycle they got Archie, at least assuming Donovan was out of reach and Sean Miller was radioactive.

Holtmann has clearly been one step better than Archie was, but at this point I think it’s clear the outcome would not have been much different.

It’s a beautiful design but someone should tell coaches there are end-of-game play options other than the Brad Stevens “winner” set

Really ugly second half performance by Oklahoma at Oklahoma State.  Sooners up 6 at half and lose by 16.  Would have given them what will probably be a rare win for them on the road in the Big 12.

Arkansas has officially submitted their resume to join the Big 1.o in basketball. Big 1.o offices liked what they saw but are confused why the officials are reviewing it.

Going to be a good finish.   East just tied it up

UConn was just #2 in the nation... Week 7 and week 8.

Week 8 was released on December 26th.

Now lost 5 of their last 6.

At Xavier

At Providence

(Beat Creighton)

At Marquette

St. John's

At Seton Hall

Thought it convenient the officials gave the Buckeyes a free timeout at the end of the game with some sort of review or discussion when they had none left.  Fortunately, it didn't help them win the game.

It's almost like teams are not made up of cyborgs that perform to the exact same level every game throughout the season. Who knew?

Strategy question:

Let's say you are up 3 with a few seconds left.  You foul your opponent and they go to the line.  They hit the first.  The only chance they have is to miss, get the rebound and make the shot.

1.  Can you simply not step into the lane for a lane violation?  If they miss they get another free throw, but can you not just keep doing that until they accidentally make it?

2.  Barring that can you simply not step into the lane and block the ball at the rim to give goal tending to make the free throw good so they have no chance at a rebound?

1. I think that could work. 

2. I think this would invite the refs into the game in some fashion regardless of the exact rules. I wouldn't trust them not to call a tech for taunting or some nonsense.

I’m guessing after the second time you step into the lane they will give a team a delay of game warning.   If they do it again it would be a tech

I think it was for the foul out of a player.

I'm thinking you could probably get away with it an extra time or two if it is a different player each time. It wasn't at the end of the game nor was it very recent but I seem to recall a game with multiple lane violations in a row on the same team.

These are really interesting. I'm sure they have to have something in place to stop this or would introduce something quickly.

delay of game technical for one or both?
