Does that move our blowout win against them up to a quad 3 win? Helps our resume for... pre-season next year?

They didn't jump 110 spots.

The 6, 7, 8 minute quarters are by NFHS definition. Sub varsity contests can be varied by agreement of both teams (but I ALWAYS discourage JV teams from playing 8 minute quarters). I am not sure about JH games, if they can be 7 minutes, as I have never seen anyone request anything except 6 minutes.

JH can only be 6, JV can be 8, but I rarely see them anything but 7.

I guess I needed the jimlad. Resume doesn't matter now that we're seeded.

There is a local school over here that always wants 8 minute JV games. I always insist on 7 minutes and most of the time, they back down and agree, but couple of times per year, they will insist on 8 minute quarters and I have to back down.

Boise State has out-Nebraska'ed Nebraska in the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska is 0-7 in the tournament. Boise State is a tournament-worst 0-9.

Monte and Jameel, correct?

Yup

Boise State trying to avoid becoming the first team to ever lose their first 10 tournament games.

Fun Fact - After UConn's previous 4 National Championships, they failed to reach the Sweet Sixteen the following tournament each time. Their longest tournament-winning streak is 7 games.

I am well aware of detail 1. I didn't know about BSU. Thought maybe there was a stray win somewhere along the line.

Is it a dirty play or flagrant foul to hand opponent the ball after a dunk? Serious question.

Nice to see Lampkin is still chippy

I always figured if Huskers ever win a game it’ll be the pig.

As a former wrestler some of these rules in most team sports always seem pretty soft. I can’t remember how many times some weirdo would slap my hand as hard as possible before the match, just normal.

I attended a game once where Cam Martin scored 54 points in a game and LOST.

 

[Cyched]

Funny that UVA's performance is proving to be the outlier among these first 4 games. So blatantly obvious they had no business in the tourney.

VCU-Nova in the NIT has actually been a good game so far.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Slugfest is not a word I would use to describe a low scoring game.

 

[ISUTex]

We were way overconfident (cocky) and got our *ss beat.

Hoiberg also had one and a half feet out the door as well.

Thanks! That makes it worse that the 8th grade coach just laughed after he left a kid in during the “B” game who fouled out with about a minute and a half left in the first quarter. More than a foul a minute is impressive in a game when they usually let a lot of stuff go.

I fouled out in the first half of an 8th grade game. But, I had to leave at halftime anyway. My coach was a college student and I remember him telling me that I should see if I could foul out before halftime, and to make every foul "count". That was the most fun I think I ever had playing basketball.

I fouled out in first half of JV game . . . my older brother was one of the officials. Of course, I was a little hacking hatchet man at the time (although I didn't think so at the time).
