They tried playing like this in Ames ("physical" grabbing shoving "aggressive" defense) but got called for too many fouls.

Has been the entire history of basketball
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.

I think if we had an overlapping minutes breakdown, based on positions played during certain times, that would maybe answer a lot of these questions of why some play and some don’t

I wonder if TJ simply just had podcast with this staff explaining the 'why' of who plays with all of the details that go into it, if people would still just assume one player or another doesn't have a reason to be out there.

Auburn was up 15-0 on Vandy, outscore 32-17 since then.

Tonight's Big XII evening lineup presented by choppy feed & audio company:

Arizona/KSU (the better game on paper) is on ESPN+

Colorado/KU is on ESPN2. Reminder: CU is 0-12
I am assuming it has something to do with the conf teams getting equal coverage across the platforms, but I have no idea.

Gotta have more from Gilbert and Lipsey 2nd half or this will get too close for comfort.

Need to figure out how to get their bigs in foul trouble and/or find some better angles for good looks or it will get away from ISU.

UCF was up 10 on Houston just a few weeks ago and will look to finish it this time.

Oh wow, I didn't know about that if that's the case. Is that really a thing?

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.
