I'm aware of the Lions/Basketball thread, but I wanted this to get it's own thread. We've won the tip. Discuss.

Manny is leading the game in points. The guy covering him is playing really well, really tight. The Creighton full court defense seems to be giving us some trouble. We need to either get hot from 3 or find another way to get penetration. The Jays have been solid on defending the inside.

Next year I think Novak is going to be the guy that fans of every other team in the conference absolutely hates. This year it's still Chris Kramer but he's done after this season. It'll be nice to have the dominant conference Hustle Dork on our team.

I just wanted to say that. Him to Chris Martin is a gulf as wide as the Pacific. It helps that he actually watches the game he's announcing.

Am I the only one that thinks it's embarressing that the color commentator is confusing Michigan's 2-3 zone for the 1-3-1? I know it's an easy mistake to make, but the 1-3-1 would feature a guard running the baseline with Sims/Gibson playing at the FT line until the ball moves to the corners/baseline.

True, but Sims/Gibson are still matching up to the weakside post players. That's a responsibility that would fall onto the last "1" in the 1-3-1. Like I mentioned, the big giveaway that the team is in the 1-3-1 is that you'll have a guard exclusively on the baseline. That definitely isn't what they are running right now.

That wasn't out of control. Out of control is what got him into the corner. And if that's a push-off, then they could call an offensive foul on every single play. The guy did not have position at all, it's not an offensive foul unless LLP puts the arm in his neck or face. You could tell even the announcer thought it was BS.

Holy crap that was a despicable call on LLP. Where does the NCAA find these clowns? And how are they never held responsible for being horrible at their jobs? If they worked in any other industry, they'd be fired (unless they worked for the Free Press).

Pretty questionable reffing calls to enter the break. Overturning possesion because the other coach bitched? And that offensive foul was ridiculous. Dude slipped.

LLP is keeping us alive right now. We need to slow this game down and get some rebounds. Speaking of which, a great play by Manny to get the board and keep the ball.
