Agree... I noticed the BYU fans only seem to talk to each other.... not much interaction with other fans.
That lane violation is gonna cost UNC a spot in the tournament
And then your front court has foul issues so he can be a force.
It's all moot since the game's over but I'm just not seeing it with him.
Not to mention with how things go with ISU's luck this year, he'd hit like 14/15 to seal it.
BYU is the new hated enemy in the BIG 12 !!!
Screw them
Screw them
Ugh, that was "Paul Shirley falling into the lane," although not as dorky-looking or obvious.
You don’t do it every play. Which is why I said burn Watson fouls. You’ve never seen that strategy in key points?
It's the little things that happen over a season and a lane violation when you have a chance to do something big is why you're 22-12.
The first game had a perfect example of this. Just need to steal a couple possessions.
This is what I was saying BYU could get bounced in the second round if they shoot 6/29
You don't foul them incessantly/deliberately with your starting frontcourt in this strategy.
Yes, I have.
I'm not seeing it as being all that effective with a team like BYU, or using Watson for it yesterday specifically when he was needed at the 4 at times.
I think the Reggie Miller choke gif is very appropriate for Carolina..
Although no guarantee UNC wins without the violation, it might have, indirectly, gifted Texas an at-large slot.
Teams that depend on the three-ball so much rarely make deep runs. It works sometimes in the regular season when you aren't playing a hot team every game, e.g. their recent Big 12 run.
It is kind of similar to the no-middle defense: we are taking away everything except for the longest and hardest shot in basketball, if you hit 18 of them you can probably beat us. Nobody tries it in the NBA since everyone can shoot there, but in college it can be really effective.
