    They are really hounding Tyrese off the ball. giving him the curry treatment. edit: Pacers really weathered that Bucks run and have closed the 3rd nicely.

    No ******* joke. reaaaaaaally sketchy calls the last few.

    ***Official Pacers Playoff Thread***

    I have to imagine either Tyrese is still hurt or Carlisle thought those matchups (Pascal/Miles) were better for them. Other strange things were done in this game as well (e.g., lots of extended bench minutes).

    ***Official Pacers Playoff Thread***

    Must have been the game plan to play through Pascal or Miles. It sure as heck didn't seem like the rest of the team were interested in getting Tyrese involved off the ball.

    This is a ridiculously bad take. The writer didn't write a hit piece on Brian Kelly. Mulkey just has thin skin, an unhealthy paranoia about media, and an ego the size of Alaska.

    Yikes! I’m Okay Not Playing UConn

    This likely has a lot to do with it, to be honest. UCONN had their S16 game wrapped up by halftime and had more time to recover before this game. Illinois had to play a physically demanding team for the whole game and had a groggy day of prep for the best team in the country.

    Never felt better after a tournament loss

    Do you remember getting picked 7th in the preseason and having a million unknowns about this team. Pepperidge Farms remembers.

    You're the Commissioner. Now Fix Wrestling!

    I also think alternative match formats (not style) should be accepted as valid results in NCAA qualification/seeding decisions. So, if some national tournament wants to change up the rules a bit (like adopt the above) to test how it works competitively, the results can still be considered...

    You're the Commissioner. Now Fix Wrestling!

    I don't like either option - it gives officials more they have to focus on and track. It is evident that their jobs need to be easier and not more complicated. Also, if someone wants to be rewarded for shoving an opponent out of the ring, there is already an entire sport for that. Reward...

    You're the Commissioner. Now Fix Wrestling!

    Eliminate stalling and move to a round-based scoring system. Have 5x90 second rounds. All resets go neutral. Riding time point is given at 30 seconds. Following a take-down, if neither wrestler is trying to score, reset to neutral. If no one has scored or the score is tied at the end of a...

    Kim Mulkey

    LSU and Mulkey have acted in ways that appear vindictive and petty in their handling of journalists, both national and local (they effectively blacklisted a school reporter who reported the facts of Mulkey's salary and the financial loss of the women's basketball team). Mulkey effectively...

    Kim Mulkey

    But here's the deal: when people to ask why you are blindly skeptical of this paper and this journalist, you gave an example that was 90 years old and had nothing to do with either. That's like me saying I'm skeptical of you being a real person because AI chat bots are getting better and I...

    That should be game. Just make the free throws from here on out and burn clock.

    @Sigmapolis dumbed my post seconds after I posted it. It is clear you don't even care to read what I'm saying at this point. More blind skepticism.

    Kim Mulkey

    I specifically stated GEOpolitical for a reason. There isn't a reason to worry about nation-state influence here. You have introduced unnecessary skepticism. No one is saying Kim is guilty of whatever is written, we're saying she's ******* weird to be acting the way she is. Yep. At the same...

    Kim Mulkey

    Except your example also involves significant geopolitical factors that contributed to it (i.e., Russia probably made it that guy's job to print their version of events). Are you suggesting that this particular investigative journalist is being paid by some foreign government to smear... Kim...

    Kim Mulkey

    I get your point, but I don't think your example supports it. If they make mistakes all the time, it might behoove you to use an example that is less than 90 years old.

    Kim Mulkey

    Except we don't know what the story is. All we have so far is that allegations will get published and that Mulkey decided to go scorched earth on the reporter before anyone has had a chance to read them. We only have one side right now and that is Kim's. Kim's side is that a nationally...
