Well he sees something! He did reference Illinois and guards going to the glass…. sees that as a value!
And he is right! Illinois gets boards via guards! A Big part of how we hit the boards!
About as a horrible foul call on TCU you’ll ever see
Username checks out!
Name checks out
Was wondering if the court would still light up even if you missed the dunk. It did!
This would be something else.
Big 12 transitioning to hardwood court at tournament amid complaints about LED glass floor
The Big 12 is transitioning to a hardwood court at the conference tournament amid complaints about the LED floor in place.
THANK YOU
I mean, if you think Miami is in already, then it really doesnt matter who wins the tourney, right? I'm excited to see the committee decide on Miami because either way, it will set a precedent for the future. It would be fun seeing them win, it would be fun seeing them get demolished, and it would be enjoyable to see them get left out of the tourney all together. Either one proves somebody's argument.

Speaking of Satan, his kid's staff apparently was tampering at the Atlantic Sun conference tournament. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree at all.

Big 12 ditching the LCD floor - thank goodness. Terrible idea that may already have hurt Texas Tech more. Just a ridiculous idea, but that's par for the course with Brett Yormark at the Big 12.

was reading about misery's loss to UK in the SEC tourney..................here's an excerpt from Trent Burns , backup center...
“It’s upsetting, man,” Phillips said, “because my main focus this whole year is to be as reliable as I can for all my brothers. Anytime I get in foul trouble, they’re taking me off the court — and I know that we need me on the court. So I’ve gotta do better, man. I’ll stop fouling so games like this, we ain’t gotta be sad about no more.”
lol.............misery education at it's finest...........

I hope Miami Oh. Does not get in. They have not a single quad 1 or 2 opponent on the schedule all season. That conference tournament winner is the only team that should make it with such a poor job of scheduling in the non conference. That weak schedule should not be rewarded. If the put Miami in then thats encouragi g this type of schedule and that cant happen. They literally have beaten or even scheduled a single quality opponent.

I’d bet a reasonable amount of money that Hummel replaces Raftery as the lead analyst on Final Four coverage.

Agree!
Not joking at all... Yormark should be fired for this decision. It's caused injuries to athletes and it was apparent to everyone except for him that it was just a horrible, horrible idea from the jumpBig 12 ditching the LCD floor - thank goodness.

Who tests a surface like this in a post-season tournament? Or in any live action for that matter. Surely some accident lawyer will be in contact with Anderson soon if it affects his draft status. I think the term malpractice might apply to the tournament commissioner and the company.
No complaints with Raftery, but Hummel provides more insight and still does a great job narrating the game.
Noticed his press release said it was for the player's "comfort" and not their safety. An edit from the lawyers, I'm sure.

There are two Euro professional teams that use this type of court regularly, but in no way was this tested for a multi-day, multi-game event like this.
Yormark saw dollar signs in the way of ads during timeouts, knows the Big 12 doesn’t have the revenue streams that the B1G and SEC have, and made a foolish decision. Agree that this could be a fireable offense.
This should have been left on the drawing room floor and done for an event like the Battle 4 Atlantis.
