NCAA hoops

[Bill Babler]

I’m giving the Hogs more credit. Those dudes are resilient. I’m not a huge Jaylan Williams fan, I think he slows them down and hurts them. Pigs been winning with a small lineup and I bet Musselman keeps that up Going to be a good game or a Baylor blowout 

Be fun to watch

kU is in a serious pickle, that is going to be hard to get out of. Their only revenue sport has 5 level 1 and half dozen level 2 violations hanging on it. Tupee billie is going to get a show-cause and a lack of institutional control. 

The football program if you can call it that is a total embarrassment

Got a feeling things are going to change in the sunflower state sooner rather than later. 

The face of Big 12 Basketball is changing, as nothing lasts forever. 

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other we have our hands full in the SEC as Vernon pointed out. 

 

Maybe, but again, WHEN?  Four years and counting.  If the evidence is that concrete and indisputable then what's the hold up?  To date the only thing I've seen is that regarding Zion Williamson, Norm Robert's is on tape saying, "We'll do whatever it takes." but then Williamson goes to Duke and his family moves into a million dollar house for a year.

Crickets.

I don't care if it's us, you or whoever if you break the rules and get caught then bust 'em but get on with it already.  And it would be nice if there were some consistency across the board.  I'm sure I don't need to remind MU folks that Carolina was caught red handed in an academic cheating scandal bigger than the great outdoors and nothing happened to them.

MU self reports something that's like 1% of what Carolina did and you'd think they were running some mass murder ring out of Columbia.

Do what you gotta do NCAA but DO IT!

Regardless KU basketball will be just fine.  Nobody keeps winning fourteen conference titles in a row for forever.  

As a matter of fact nobody else ever has.

Football or whatever y'all call that other sport played in the fall on the other hand........🤦‍♂️

NCAA regulation is a joke these days, the money is just too big, no way they are going to kill the golden egg laying goose.  

[Smithvillesteve]

I totally agree with you Vernon. Its a joke that the ncaa takes this long to come to some kind of judgement. And now they have some other organization that can decide penalties or not. KU has chose that route. Jerry Tarkaninan said it best, " when North Carolina and Kentucky get caught cheating the ncaa puts Cleveland St on probation!!'

Well against my better judgement I’m going with the Hogs. I got 8 points is a big reason. They might have a little bit of an advantage in height on the perimeter to guard the 3 ball. We will find out here shortly . Go razorbacks

Spotting the other team an early lead finally caught up with the Hogs.  They got close a couple of times in the 2nd half but could not hit their shots when they got close.  

Nevertheless, great year for the Hogs.

There are lots of similarities between hoops and fishing. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose . 😏

Was a good game for sure. Hogs just had really poor shot selection the last 5 minutes or so of the game and didn't make many of them. Didn't help that Baylor just couldn't miss a 3 in that same period of time later in the 2nd half. Still a good run for the Hogs.

I was amazed that Arkansas still had a great chance to win this game despite playing so poorly.  When they weren't kicking it into the third row they scored with efficiency until the fatal stretch toward the end when they quit driving it and like Alabama the night before shot themselves out of it by firing up guarded three's and rushed mid range stuff.

No team can go eleven minutes or whatever it was without scoring against a team like Baylor and have a positive outcome much less to be fighting back from an eighteen point deficit.

Nonetheless, it was pretty impressive how they kept getting back in it and man do they ever hit the boards.  To give up that kinda size and muscle and yet actually out rebound Baylor by five says a lot about their effort and determination.

And by the way, did anybody see the announcement on the rule change regarding offensive fouls at the beginning of the postseason?  Never in the history of the game have they interpreted what constitutes a charge the way they have the last month.

I mean the defender ain't square, ain't set and it flat don't matter cause it's going the other way almost every time a guy falls down.  The one that fouled the Notae kid out is a prime example in my opinion.  They're encouraging flopping when it was supposed to have been a point of emphasis just a year ago.

Of course traveling, palming and three seconds have all been relegated to the peach basket days as well.  

And yes I am a bitter and crabby old man that is sick of kids walking on my lawn!!!!

Looking forward to USC and Gonzaga tonight as I thought we were just bad but it turns out SoCal is pretty danged good.  Might give 'em a tussle.
