I made a comment to my buddy that Kam jones had about 4 3 pointers that were 75% down and somehow came out. If true it’s the difference in the game

This is dumb. Apparently only NC State knows how to hit 39% from 3 with big balls.

While it maybe be dumb, the point of the thread isn't about the size of the ball.

Sure, but blaming MU's shooting woes on inflation is...special.  Especially when the other team had no problem.

Also, disappointed with your lack of immaturity.

Yup.  Another thread complaining about inflation.

For what it’s worth I think there were more misses that bounced over the backboard last night than the entire season combined…

This guy has several videos on the matter.

Not the reason we lost, but it is so insane to me that there isn’t a uniform ball used in all D1 basketball games. One of the guys in the groups that I play with on Saturdays got the ball they use for the NCAA Tournament and everyone was like “hell no” to him trying to make it the ball we would play with. We usually use the Wilson Evolution, which to me is pretty similar to the Nike ball (which most teams use, because most teams are Nike). But they’re completely different from the ball they use in the Tournament. It’s crazy that there’s not a single ball used.

Both games in Dallas last night were under their line total by over 25 points. The two games included three KP top 21 offenses as well.

To say that is unusual would be an understatement.

Definitely tempting to bet on the O/U in tomorrow’s Elite 8 game, maybe that’s what’s needed for change, have a surge in winning bets.

Agreed.  As I watch this Illinois-UConn game, I am 100% convinced this is real and an unacceptable and embarassing problem.

It affects rebounding too, there was one instance last night where Oso was affected due to an unexpected extra weird bounce on the rim and he lost a defensive rebound.

It’d be interesting to know at what point MU started practicing with the Wilson NCAA ball.

If this all is true, which to some extent it looks to be at least somewhat true, then it disproportionately affects high volume 3-point shooting teams, and good shooters.

We lost. Period.

This is all nonsense. I’m sure some of the posts were tongue-in-cheek, but I think some are actually serious.

The UConn/Illinois game is 40 points below the O/U with 3 to go.
