No buts it’s Foxs attempt to make money so their TV deal conferences have to participate I believe.  Nit is still ran by the ncaa 

Do you think it will be more likely teams don't turn down invites to this like NiT, or about the same?  Will this be bigger deal than the NIT?

All SEC games are must watch, but Cal going back to BBN as the opposing coach should be interesting, to say the least.

They had Pitino cut a promo urging the fans to give him the welcome he deserves for all the winning and a championship. The funniest part is at the start of the message he points out him and Cal aren’t friends.

 I can’t believe it but I’m gonna give BBN the benefit of the doubt and say he gets a warm ovation when introduced then gets razzed unmercifully during the game.

I have no clue.  Im interested in seeing if the conference forces teams to play in it.   I will be watching.   More college basketball is never a bad thing

Washington up 3 on MInnesota with 35.8 seconds left.  Washington ball, full shot clock.  Think Minnesota will have to foul.

Yep, just think MInnesota needs to extend the game.  If not, Washington runs the shot clock down as far as possible and if Minnesota gets a rebound, Washington just fouls

[RaceToTheTop]

Washington with a horrible turnover, LOL. 

However, the review might overturn it -- looks like the Washington player got it out of his hands before his foot hit out of bounds.  I believe if that is the case it goes to jump ball?  If so, that means it would still be Washington ball.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

The refs said the 'call was confirmed'.  If anything, the best you could come up with was inconclusive and IMO he got it out of his hands.

IDK Minny had clear possession when they blew it dead.

[Ryno6284]

Minny should change their name to the Golden Garcias, cause he is a one man team!

If that is the rule, then why bother reviewing if he was out or not?

Personally, I'd be fine not using reviews.

[Ryno6284]

Providence storming back to within 1, 2:19 to go!  Delivering!    Sorry USPS, had to use that one! lol

I agree, it is over used and is hindering the game!

Minnesota bucket followed by Washington hitting two free throws after a foul.  Minnesota ball, down 3, 9.7 seconds left.  Gonna need a three to tie but Washington can foul.

Personally, at 9.7 seconds, I foul in the back court if I'm Washington and worry about the possibility of giving of the three later.

ANd they do.

[RaceToTheTop]

Garcia misses first.

[RaceToTheTop]

Garcia misses the second (looked unintentional).  Washington to the line to ice it.

Its being used as extra timouts during overly lengthy reviews. Make the players stay on the court, not huddled up at the bench drawing up plays. And for god’s sake put a time limit on the review

.Washington gets their first Big Ten win.

EDIT:  first Big Ten road win

Baseball is figuring out how to speed games up and basketball is figuring out how to make them take longer!  Who woulda thunk?

If you aren't there, get to St. Johns and Providence RIGHT NOW! Tied 32 secs left!
