    Pretty boring game but St. Louis plays slow and makes the game like this bc they can't shoot so they just grind it out. Petino wants to speed up the game and run as much as he can because he knows St Louis can't keep up

    Saint Louis is horrible, way overseeded. They never should have beaten NCstate.

    Also, it's hard to watch 1 tournament game at a time. Sooo many commercials and they are long.

    2 rule changes I would LOVE to see:

    1) go to a 30 second shot clock
    2) go to 3 timeouts per half.

    You only get 5 timeouts a game

    You sure? If that's true, they must use all 10 the last 3 minutes of the game.

    Yeah, it looks like for TV games each team gets 5 timeouts per game, but coaches rarely use more than 1 in the first half. So the end up taking 8 timeouts in the 2nd half plus another 4 TV timeouts. Just murders the flow of the game.
