Platoons in basketball sound like something a little League coach would do to keep everyone's parents happy by assuring playing time for all their little angels.

I mean, I can kinda see the appeal in theory, I just don't think it'll work in real life

It is played contingently based on when the previous game ends. There is a designated pause between games and MSU/Duke ran long.

Real glad we have whistle-happy refs in a game involving a Calipari team, this will end 50-48 and last 3 hours.

Kentucky is mauling the Kansas guys. They could be called for like a dozen fouls anytime the ball is near them.

I think its funny that people ever expect these early season games to be good because they seldom are even between ranked teams

Not over yet of course, a whole game can't go at this pace

Right now I'm in the adjustment period between "yay college hoops is back!" and "oh yeah, the games don't get good until January."

Second group is much more composed so far. Ulis is setting up offense better and it's making a difference.

Rebounding and blocks seem to be a UK staple with how recruiting has gone for the last few years. I love watching it.

This sucks. The nightmare scenario. Not a single pretty shot, completely incapable of drawing a foul, and bad defense.
