Watching game on tv and baseball on iPad. Anyway, it's under 8 mins to go in the 2nd half and OM has 2 fouls and Monmouth has 1. If we had these refs, we might've gotten postseason.

Fouls were reset at the half way point of the half.

OK ... just 8 teams. Thanks.
Looks like the next game is Richmond vs Alabama. I thought Bama should've been an NCAA team.
Alabama has the worst looking basketball floor I've ever seen. It's painful to watch on television, and probably worse in person.
You've never seen Oregon's thenQuote:

So Johnson has taken NIT talent to the NIT and lost in the first round both times. Basically what Anthony Grant also did.
If you zone Alabama and stop them driving to the basket, you shut them down. That's exactly what Richmond did. It's idiotic to play man to man against them:
The man-to-man versus zone argument is a precarious one. Man-to-man is what pro prospects need to play and the majority of them seek it out to better prepare themselves for the NBA. Very few teams with elite talent play zone because of this. However, a well executed zone D can really throw some teams off.Quote:

While I agree with this I also think it is beneficial to mix in some zone every now and then. Throwing different looks at offenses can really mess with their rhythm. I'd like to see us do a half court trap and drop back into a 2-3 every once in a while. Or do a 2-3 and trap every time the ball goes to the corner.Quote:

Playing zone this past year could have gotten us a few more wins and made our fans at least feel better about ourselves.Quote:
