Judging an entire fanbase by like five drunk assholes is really dumb and besides just being a Duke fan in and of itself is a lot more reprehensible than mocking someone for a dead relative.

Tonight's Tennessee/LSU women's basketball game was one of the best women's basketball games I've ever seen. Tennessee was down by 3 with about 30 seconds left and was able to get the win 64-62. Just give Bashaara Graves the Freshman of the Year award right now. She was able to muscle up the ball through 3 LSU defenders to hit the final basket with .8 seconds left.

Didn't watch the game but apparently Oregon had a seven-point lead with 4:30 remaining and never scored again. See you in the top-25 next year. That loss also might've legitimately cost Oregon an NCAA tournament bid (again) which is upsetting the message-boarders. If Dana Altman rushes Dominic Artis back from his foot injury I will throw a chair in his direction.

News: Indiana lost, 74-72, on the road against the Illini in Other Assembly Hall, where the Hoosiers haven't won since Eric Gordon, DJ White, and Kelvin Sampson survived a double-overtime thriller in Champaign in 2008. Views: drat. That sucked. I did not believe for one second that IU was going to lose that game(much like the Butler game). Not when IU began to cough up a huge second half lead. Not when the Illini pulled within 2. Not when the Illini tied the game at 70. And not when the Illini stole the ball from Oladipo with the score tied at 72. Oladipo recovered quickly, the rest of the Hoosiers got into the play immediately, and Indiana played legitimately great transition defense. Then Zeller fell asleep on an inbounds play with under a second remaining and the Illini won. With .9 remaining, I thought Illinois would get a contested jumper and miss it, sending the game to OT. I had no doubt. Then Griffey laid the ball in to close the game. I must be bad luck, because I've been in the stands to see Indiana lose two of the three games they've lost this year and they were ranked #1 both times. And they were both buzzer-beaters. After getting some time to think about it on the way home, I can't say I'm too upset about the loss. Obviously, it has huge ramifications in Indiana's quest for the Midwest region's #1 seed, but I think the team played pretty well overall. There were a few bad turnovers, like they had against Michigan, but they played very well in pretty much all other areas. I heard on the radio that Indiana didn't score any points in transition tonight, which sounds about right. Illinois kept Indiana from scoring in transition, but Indiana executed really well in the halfcourt after the first six minutes or so. They actually looked really good in the halfcourt almost all night. Ferrell has continued to progress offensively, though he had some bad TOs, and Hollowell looks more and more comfortable getting minutes every night. If that stat is right and Indiana scored all 72 of their points in the halfcourt, then I can't be too mad about this loss. I didn't think the defense was bad either. Illinois wasn't really efficient, they just shot a fuckload more threes and probably attempted more field goals overall. Besides that they had an oddly clean game in terms of TOs. Normally they're closer to Minnesota on the TO line but they didn't give the ball away tonight. As for the Hoosiers, outside of the TOs, which I guess aren't a small thing at all, Indiana really played good basketball. They moved the ball well offensively, defended well and closed defensive possessions with rebounds... I guess the most annoying thing about losing tonight is that Illinois didn't play amazingly well or anything. I guess they did shoot very well for playing almost entirely isolation basketball all night and getting very little ball movement, but they didn't shoot the lights out or anything close to it really. Losing against Butler worried me off more, though it was pretty unsettling to watch the court get rushed against my favorite team. I would say that now I know what those UK fans I sat next to last year felt like, but at least Assembly Hall was sold out for that game. It was even worse seeing the Hoosiers go down in Champaign after thinking about how empty Other Assembly Hall was for a game against the #1 team in the nation. Indiana executed very well for the most part on the road in Champaign, but they'll have to do much better against the tougher Buckeyes in Columbus if they want to stay in the conversation for a #1 seed. And though the road through the Midwest region appears to go through the Wolverines at this point, Michigan has tough games of their own remaining. Indiana is still in play for a #1 seed if they can beat OSU. Losing to Illinois hurts, but Illinois could ride this win to an NCAA berth. Maybe even with an 8-10 conference record. OSU will put IU at major risk for their first 2-game skid of the season. IU will have to take much better care of the basketball if they want a chance to upset the Buckeyes on their floor. I was planning to complain a bit about the refereeing, but that was when I still thought Indiana was going to hold on and win. Since they lost, I will only say that the TO on Sheehey was absurd and looks even more absurd in light of what the refs looked past when it came to Groce. Alas, such is life on the road. If the Hoosiers thought a lax whistle let the Illini play pretty physical tonight, they're really going to be in for a shock once they realize what the refs are going to let Aaron Craft get away with in Columbus.

Which is true, and I mentioned one egregious call. Home-court calls are a factor for all teams on the road. I didn't say anything that suggested I thought that IU was getting persecuted on the road. IU gets calls at home, of course, just like Michigan and Illinois and Ohio State do. Why would I not mention it if it's part of the game?

Exactly what I thought would happen when we rely too much on our 3 point shooting and don't have big men inside to be dominate.. Billy D really needs to work on finding physical big men for the inside as well as these 3 point studs..

Oregon never scored and CU ended on an 8-0 run, but it was the absolute ugliest run I've ever seen. They turned the ball over three straight times during that run but Oregon couldn't buy a basket on the other end. Sorry if the loss cost the Ducks a bid but I don't think that's true yet.

gvibes posted:If the home big ten team gets called for more fouls than the visitor, then the visitor can't complain about any aspect of the reffing. That's my rule and I'm sticking to it. Illinois is a perimeter-oriented team. They shot a much higher percentage of their shots behind the line like they do every night. I would guess that Indiana isn't the only team that has had fewer fouls whistled than Illinois in Champaign and I'm guessing that it won't be exactly uncommon in the Groce era, due to style of play. Edit: Sucks that you missed your Illini actually playing a good game though

I may be biased, but IU seems to get the lion share of calls at home. Much more than any other Big Ten team that I've seen Michigan play.

This is really silly. I really hate the idea that foul differential (or even worse free throw differential) tells you anything about the quality of officiating. Style of play and the respective quality of the players has a huge influence on the number of fouls.

Regnevelc posted:I may be biased, but IU seems to get the lion share of calls at home. Much more than any other Big Ten team that I've seen Michigan play. IU is a better team than most of the teams Michigan has played on the road. They're the best team in the country at getting to the line due in part to the fact that they get most of their shots very close to the basket when they shoot inside the arc and they're one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the league. They do get homer calls, of course, but I don't think they get more favorable calls than other teams get on their home courts. IU earns a lot of those whistles, but yes they do get some homer calls. Wisconsin gets homer calls. Craft never gets whistled in Value City Arena and he'll tell you himself that he fouls on every play. Every team in the conference gets calls at home fairly consistently. Michigan is good at not fouling, but they're much better at not fouling on their own floor and that's not a coincidence. MourningView posted:Craft never gets whistled loving anywhere. True. He was mugging Burke in Crisler arena and finished with only 2 fouls. I don't get it. Fisticuffs fucked around with this message at Feb 8, 2013 around 17:36 |

MourningView posted:Craft never gets whistled loving anywhere. Honestly, I think it's because he's such a great defender with his feet, and that he gets such good position defensively usually, that people just overlook how handsy he gets sometimes. I mean, it doesn't even really bother me. It's just something that you take as a given when you play Ohio State now. Craft is going to be a complete lockdown defender and going to get away with some stuff, so I can't even get mad when I see him hacking away at a dude at the perimeter. Usually he's at least in the right position and he isn't just getting away with murder, just a little spice on the top.

The biggest thing with him is that he got a reputation as an elite lock down defender really early, so refs tend to give him the benefit of the doubt and he's free to just hack away like crazy. It's really irritating.

It's really irritating. I mean, the reputation is kinda deserved. I don't like the guy, I loath him, but his defensive footwork and positioning is better than any point guard of I've seen in a long time in college (though I can't say I watch super huge amount of games from the smaller conferences or even some of the bigger conferences so I could be missing out on a lot of guys). He always seems to be putting himself in the right position to make a play or at least stop the offense from making a play. But then he gets away with just basically slapping a dude down the court as well.

Craft has exceptional awareness of where the officials are located, which plays into his ability to get away with stuff. Also, OSU students have been camping out for Indiana tickets for a couple days and our freshman guard Amedeo Della Valle has been buying a bunch of donuts in the morning and taking them out to the tents for the people waiting. I guess between classes he just walks to the arena and hangs out with all of them.
