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.

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.

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.

April 7, 20241 yr Damn 73% from 3 1 minute ago, WBT said: Bama 8/11 on 3 and still down 4 leads me to believe UConn is going to pull away That’s where the smart money would be.
April 7, 20241 yr 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.

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
April 7, 20241 yr 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.
April 7, 20241 yr Underdog must survive the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half. Bama needs to bear down.

April 7, 20241 yr Bama just hanging around, hanging around, hanging around. It's not unimpressive given how many chances they have had to get run.

April 7, 20241 yr It's crazy how many good white guys there are right now at both levels. Definitely a renaissance for the white American hooper. Edited April 7, 20241 yr by ztejas

April 7, 20241 yr Two bad shots and it went from 2 to 6, then a TO and it’s 8. Geez these guys are so fucking good.
April 7, 20241 yr Just now, Bullneck said: Damn, that black girl with the blond hair. Yum. Just now, ATXbronco said: sorry in advance You know what I want.
April 7, 20241 yr The guy next to Mark Sears’ mom looked less than enthusiastic about another high five.
