Missed tough layup.  Howard goes dancing.

Norfolk had the ball up 1 with 13 seconds left and threw the in bounds pass away. Then a tough foul call gave howard the 2 FTs for the lead. Brutal ending for Norfolk

Interesting note:  UAB is a 2 point favorite over Florida Atlantic in the Conference USA final.

I filed it under ‘suspected point shaving activity’.

It wasn't even questionable. Dude looked like he just went into a dance move or something.

No surprise MWC is delivering 

Utah st up 1 at half.   

Last chance for a bid thief is UAB.   

[Uspshoosier 45,608]

Marquette up 21 right now.    Impressive

When the problem is that your dirty coach isn’t quite dirty enough.

Texas torching Kansas….unreal

Flipping channels between conference tournaments and World Baseball Classic is my heaven

We could have used Arman Franklin today

Kent State wins it. Toledo coach Tod Kowalczyk has now been at Toledo for 13 seasons and hasn't reached the NCAA tournament. The Rockets were the #1 seed in the MAC tourney for the third straight year, the only time any current member of the MAC has done that. March can be cruel. 

[Stuhoo 80,505]

Watching these FAU badasses absolutely curb stomp a good UAB team to go to 31-3

 

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

Obviously Miller and Scheyer didn't get the first year coach limitations memo. Miller finished third (?) int he Big East and Scheyer won the damn conference tourney. What are they thinking?

Hasn't bid a single bid stolen yet has there?  Was this the last opportunity to?

They replaced him for today and tomorrow's games. That was just absurd. Eject the batter for hopping around after strike 2.

And now he's suspended indefinitely per ESPN:

Quote

 

The plate umpire who made an egregious third strike call to end a game between New Orleans and Mississippi Valley State on Friday night has been suspended indefinitely, the Southland Conference announced.

Mississippi Valley State left fielder Davon Mims was up with a 1-1 count with two outs in the ninth inning when plate umpire Reggie Drummer called two straight strikes on pitches outside the batter's box, the latter of which was clearly off the plate.

The game ended with New Orleans winning 7-3 and an enraged Mims trying to confront Drummer, who ignored him as he walked off the field.

"After a thorough review of the New Orleans and Mississippi Valley State baseball contest on March 10, 2023, the Southland Conference confirmed the home plate umpire's conduct and actions were deemed detrimental to the Conference and in violation of Section 3 Character and Conduct of the CCA Mechanics Manual for Baseball," the conference said in a statement Saturday.
