A 15 man roster is going to have several players who won't provide minutes.

Quote from: MU82 on March 12, 2026, 06:20:57 PMNot sure if it was addressed while the game was still going on because I don't hang out in game threads, but ...

It was absolutely idiotic for Tre Carroll to foul with less than 2 seconds left and with us having to make a 90-foot shot to tie. It's hard to believe L'il Rickie wanted that foul; if so, shame on him. The foul actually gave us a chance to tie the game if we had been a little luckier with the way Parham's intentional miss bounced.

I hope no Marquette player ever does anything so stoopid.

I thought the same thing.

At that point MU's chances of winning were somewhere between very slim and none. But that foul inched the needle a little closer to very slim.

Whenever I see a situation Like that I think of a rec league game I played in about 45 years ago. My team grabbed a rebound and got fouled with one second left and a one point lead. We were patting ourselves on the back while our teammate went to the line to shoot two free throws. He made the first one, but the second one fell off the rim and a guy grabbed it and heaved at the length of the court (probably about 80 feet on the junior high school court) and swished it.

We were stunned, and also somewhat incredulous that a second hadn't run off the clock, but we managed to regroup and win the game in overtime. We were grateful the guy made the first free-throw that we didn't think would make any difference.

That's the physical description of JB on the posters saying not to let him into the pickleball venue. Weird coincidence

Quote from: WhiteTrash on March 11, 2026, 02:02:47 PMMaybe I'm unique, but I think Bam intentionally stopping at 81 would do damage to the lore of Kobe's incredible feat. It would be a virtual asterisk next to his 81 in the record books.

I also agree with everyone, Kobe would be the last one to want Bam to stop.
 

Kobe would be the first one to be mad about it

Here is where numbers can skew the reality.  Basketball is a game of runs.  When caedin and Tre check in, for some reason seemingly always together.  The other team almost always goes on a run.
A perfect example was the Depaul home game.  MU is up 9-4, in come Normalton and Depaul goes on a 21-0 run.  Now they came out long before all the 21 points were scored but it was their horrendous play that gave Depaul confidence and made it easy for that run to start.  It has been happening all year.

Lobbing is frowned upon in pickleball

Quote from: wadesworld on March 12, 2026, 07:35:54 PMThat's extremely illegal.

Depends on the type of animal. Have you seen some of these Scoopers' wives?
