Well 7% on 3-pt shots is better than 11% on 2-pt shots.

If this is true, by now we have a choir like the one that greeted the shepherds outside of Bethlehem when Jesus was born.

Why play the game? They could have just had held a free throw contest.

It’s actually not. There just aren’t any elite teams in it. Purdue is only team in the Big 10 that is top 12 in Kenpom. And they are only #8. Lost tonight so probably will drop

Elam Ending please. I'll continue to bang that drum to no avail I'm sure.

Free throw parades suck.

My crazy variation on Elam Ending that I'd like to give a try at some level:

1. Play 2 halves / 4 quarters as normal, but slightly shorter than a typical game (so for college, let's go 2 15 minute halves)
2. At the end of regulation, set up the target score ending at higher score + 10. The ending period is played to that score. It could go 2 minutes, it could go 10 minutes.
3. Any player that fouled out (not ejected, just common fouls) can play the ending period, to encourage coaches to leave in good players.
4. Any foul in the ending period is FTs.

What I think that would accomplish:
- End of game wouldn't encourage fouling. Could be some fouling at the end of regulation to get the score as close as possible maybe, but it's easy to let the game get too far away from you with that strategy.
- Overtime games are a thing of the past, all games end on score.
- Every game ends on a made basket/FT.
- Best players play the ending period.
