2/15 Games
ACC officials just ignored the rulebook to replay an offensive basket interference and give Duke the winning bucket against Wake. Unreal.

It did look like they pulled out their practice gear, complete with reversible jerseys. Beauty is subjective, though. The same people who liked those must have thought MSU was lookin’ fly tonight, too…
Not impressed with Providence, but in fairness this is my first viewing of them. Villanova looks top 16, but will probably get a 3 seed ... because they're Villanova.
Edit: Rule was changed in 2019 to allow replay in final 2 minutes to correct basket interference.

Value City Arena at OSU is just too big for the program right now. It seats nearly 19k and, as I understand it, has among the most expensive tickets in the conference. St. John Arena, which housed the team from the mid-'50s to the late '90s, seats a bit over 13k. I still scratch my head about why the program left it. It was a very tough place to play, with an aluminum ceiling like Mackey Arena and a very steep profile. In contrast, Value City Arena is generic, and sterile.
To be fair, the demand was there when the arena was built 24 years ago. They filled the new arena in the early years in the late '90s/ '00s when OSU had strong teams, drawing maybe 16k per game. But after Columbus got the Blue Jackets NHL franchise in 2000, and that team eventually began to win regularly (from around 2013 onward) around the time that Thad Matta's Bucks began to slide, basketball attendance suffered. That's really why they're not drawing the way they were in the '00s the past several seasons.
On top of that, basketball fans there are quite fickle. Football rules the roost in Columbus and basketball is generally an afterthought, even when they have a strong team. It has always been that way.
Looked like the correct call after review. You can review that now post November 21, 2021
Correct. Did not know they had changed that. And I agree the correct call was made. Too bad.

They said you can review goaltending. How about that desperation shot by Wake. Wouldn’t have counted. Ball still in his hands as the red light went on.
IL won by 6 points over #9 PSU at PSU in Feb, 2020.

2020. That loss to the Illini started a slide when they lost five of their last six. Slipped to #20 by the BTT, which was of course cancelled so they weren't able to go to the tourney.

My goodness, a lot of good close games tonight. Duke/Wake Forest went to the last second, Texas/Oklahoma going to OT. Nova/Providence, Wisconsin/Indiana.
Fun night for College hoops.

My son will let me know this Saturday how the attendance is at the home game with Iowa.
Best venue in the B1G is the real Assembly hall followed by the fake assembly hall and then Mackey
Christie has a smooth baseline jumper.

They have a woo woo instead of a wee wee?
Anybody else watch Izzo post game? He seemed visibly shaken and not himself. I'm guessing he either laid into the whole team, a trash can, brick wall, or all the above.
Tough to get to Happy Valley in the winter. Why buy season tickets when you aren't sure how many games that you'll be able to make?

Brad Davidson remains top 5 all-time most punchable face in modern B10. One day he and Tyra Buss will have All-American athletes.
