So I sit down for lunch, turn on Iowa St/Texas cause I have a significant rooting interest in it.

They're on the VCU/Umass game with 37 seconds left.

I finished eating lunch and cleaned up my dishes...there are still 2.7 seconds left in that game.

Time out, foul, foul, commercial, time out, commercial, time out, foul...what a fucking joke. It took 15 minutes to get through 30 seconds.


Each team should get one time out per half, period. No need for more than that. The timeouts literally RUIN the game flow at the end of a game. Let the players play it out, you shouldn't need to coach them through every 10 second interval.

Also would be nice if college and the NBA could do something about the intentional fouling bullshit. :ohno:

The intentional fouling is stupid. A team will be down by 7 with 18 seconds left and intentionally foul like they stilll have a chance. The other team is obviously going to have their best free throw guy handle the ball. Even if he misses, game is still over.

They are probably going to shorten the shot clock in a year or 2.

That will improve things greatly.

Intentional fouling is why I never like taking a 4 or 5 point favorites.
??

It's why I'd rather lay 4 or 5. I hate taking 4 or 5 point dogs cause they can be down 1 with 10 seconds left and blow the cover. Any dog under 4 I usually take on the ML for that very reason.
