    If that's the interpretation, why is there a "this is bad for the sport" claim?

    Dude, what are you talking about? What would be bad for the sport is Argentina committing that foul and getting away with it. The refs didn't determine the outcome; Argentina's reckless play did.

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    Let's actually look at these games and see if your cursory glance actually holds up. This site notably doesn't just give box scores. It also gives us play-by-play. That will be important for some of those games where you argue Morez "could've played more minutes (but didn't)." So I went...

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    Tell me you don't watch basketball without telling me you don't watch basketball. Because if you actually watched basketball instead of just looking at box scores, you'd know that coaches from all schools take players out of the game when they pick up their second foul in the first half. So if...

    Illinois #5 in final AP Poll

    Malik Elzy no longer with the program

    But it's not a calculator or a GPS. A calculator does stuff for you that always yields the same result. No matter your method of calculation, 5 x 5 is 25. Saving time to get to the same result is totally fine. A GPS is not going to yield a result you couldn't do on a map yourself. It also has...

    You're not convinced because Duke made the Final Four as a 1 seed and lost by 3 to another 1 seed? That looks like a great result to me.
