Yep. The Presidents need to impose their will. Their strength and skill will wear on this team. They have good athletes, but their shot selection is not great.

I just figured ESPN would/should try to broadcast the best matchups possible. Didn't know they have to *try* and be fair to all conference members regardless of standing/record.

TV schedule for basketball (linear or Plus) is all decided before the season.

They're not doing it 12 days out like football.

I do believe there has been a time when you run INTO a person jumping vertically in the air with your arms straight up, the contact being caused by the offensive player, that would at BEST be a no call and sometimes a charge. Who is gaining the advantage from displacing the other person's rightfully held position. It may be the way it is called now, but not for the history of bball. And it should not be now either. Jumping purposefully onto another player shoild be a foul if that player has a right to that spot.

Were you playing primarily in 2010, 2000 or the 80s? Legit question. Makes a difference on perspective.

It was barely a bump by UCF and Jefferson ended up raking his arms. That’s an easy foul call every time. The ONLY way it’s not, is if the defender goes down on the contact by the offense and I’d bet that’s a 50/50 call at best and leads to an easy layup more often than not because the officials will allow that contact underneath.

I played in the 2000’s and have officiated in the 2000s-present day. I would never have called that a charge or expected a charge to be called. That’s just basketball under the basket.

Hard disagree.

The game before that (@KU) he was 3-7
The game before that (KSU) he was 0-1
the game before that (@UA) he was 1-2

so yeah - in our 3-game losing streak he was 4-10. So stop with this BS that he's been great from the line recently. Because he hasn't been.

It's likely just kind of a funk that comes with a season and I'll go with the bigger picture and look him for him to find it again.

Are we ignoring the 4-4 last game? That seems pretty good and was the most recent.

Amazon with DaVinci ad continously playing, meanwhile they deliver a box full of diapers in a human size box with dimensions 3 time larger than the contents, in the very middle of my driveway, addressed to my neighbors a half block away.
