How many of you knuckleheads were actually on your HS basketball team?  Did you play or were you spot 10-12?

I’m not beefing.  Just curious.  Game has changed since I graduated HS in 82.   

I did and played.  The Purdue offense is more what we played. Classic post up offense. Plenty of pick and roll and screen and get open. Plenty of high low against the zone, overload the perimeter too. The dominance of the three was just becoming a thing.  Shooting 4 feet behind the line? No one.

 Defense was mostly man to man, we played some 2-3 cuse zone, occasionally 1-3-1 trap and sometimes box and 1 if we had a D1 guard prospect we were playing against. 
 

besides tennis it’s the sport I know the most about but it’s one of my least favorite to watch until tournament time.

That was us.  High / low post. Set screens.  Pick and roll.   No such thing as a 3 point line. Pass at least 5 times. Etc.    Friggin’ Hickory Huskers.  Focus on defense, follow the offensive formula like Soviet economic policy  and don’t have any fun.

We were allowed to create and we ran some. A lot of focus on rebound and quick outlet, run the court get the rebound for the score if the guards fucked it up. The 3 was an equal part of the game, just not dominate.

Bama 8/11 on 3 and still down 4 leads me to believe UConn is going to pull away

Damn 73% from 3

That’s where the smart money would be.

Or maybe they'll keep hitting them, lulz

Bad knees and multiple surgeries ended any HS Hoops dreams.  To no one’s surprise I was All-City and dominated as a 7th grader… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of course I was also 19 years old at that time.

doesn't address my question.  The top level game could have had even higher numbers on free tv. This is simple math. 

The answer of a contract being signed to host the FF on TBS in even years, yes, yes, that directly answered your question. You chose to ignore it because you want to force yourself to being correct about something you’re incorrect on. 

 

Getting back to the game…

 

Alabama I think is cooked here but the effort is great

Bama takes one bad shot UConn adds to the lead it’s crazy how small the window and opportunity is for Bama to close the lead. 

Underdog must survive the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half.   Bama needs to bear down.

Agreed. They did to end the first half. Down 7 closed it to 4.

God DAMN that dude threw that shit down!

no, your replies have nothing to do with the fact that cable-less people cannot watch the game. Thanks! 

Bama just hanging around, hanging around, hanging around.  It's not unimpressive given how many chances they have had to get run.

How was that not an and 1? 

It's crazy how many good white guys there are right now at both levels. Definitely a renaissance for the white American hooper.

3 point lead can’t score betcha conn scores - got it to 1!!

Dang Bama !! 

Edited by troph

this is definitely the game that should have been the final. 

tie game !!!???

UConn gets almost all of the calls.   Just something 'bama has to live with I guess.

UCONN is just so disgustingly good. We deserved them or Purdue vs. Houston. 

Two bad shots and it went from 2 to 6, then a TO and it’s 8. Geez these guys are so fucking good.
