So should they remove 3 second and carry all together?

That was my point.
Just because these rules are not called (when they likely should) doesn't justify removing it from the rule book altogether
In my opinion.

Fir examole : personally, I'd be fine getting rid of 3 seconds. But that's because I think rules restricting "strategy" need to be minimized.
Refs could call every single 3 second violation correctly.
I'd still be in favor of getting rid of it.

The cylinder rule punishes a team for doing something good , playing defense and pressuring a ball handler who decides to pick up his dribble. I think I have seen it called 1 time this year against Houston and St. John’s and I have watched about 10-14 of their games this year. The cylinder Rule could have been called 5-10 times on each game but then the team’s trademark defense would suffer. So it is almost never called.
The 3 point rule should be called because you are giving the offensive team an unnecessary advantage. Edey last year camped in there 5-6 sevconds all the time and it was an unnecessary advantage to Purdue. I am shocked that call had been removed from the game the last 5/10 years.

Just checked conference standings, and RU finished where I thought they would. I had them with one more win, however.

James Bailey 8.5 pts and 3 blocks and 7 rebounds. Only 55% from line

Lathan 8 pts 4 rebounds 0.6 blocks yikes. 85% from the line though as we know his forte.

So you had to go back 40 years. Haha.

Congratulations to RU WBB.

Can you call it dancing if it is the conference tournament? Did the other P4 conferences change their formats as well (limiting who can play)?

I mean they were under 1 point per possession in a nine-point win, defense is what makes MSU tick

Offensive rebounds won this game.Both teams were shooting bricks from the 3 point line.

Illinois destroyed Michigan by 20 points.

I did too! One of my favorite concerts ever. I sang every song. My ears didn't stop ringing for two days. A record.

PSAL Hoops , how many Rutgers freshman bigs have had the season Lathan has had? Teams are playing 2 bigs and one of ours can be a rim protector that only catches lobs. But Lathan has a handle , can back you down and can score.
His defense on pick and roll has not been good but the rim protector will take on that role. His one on one defense is improving. He played and blocked Biddle ‘s shot on multiple possessions . He is only a freshman . My guess is he gets better defensively at least serviceable but my guess is his offense will get even better when he doesn’t hesitate down low and hits that midrange shot at a much higher clip and some

He’s a 4 IMHO. But needs rebounding boxing out and defense lessons.

4 ‘s will defend 4’s and 5’s. They will defend both . Teams in the Big 10 alone have shown you can play 2 bugs together and be successful . Queen and Reese, Goldin and Wolf , Ballo and Reneau. We can play a rim protector with Lathan at times. Not as much as those 3 teams for sure but for minutes each half.

Allan has not pitched competitively in five years. If he makes it back into the Top 30 Prospect List, it would be a surprise. If he ever takes the ball on a major league mound, it would be quite the story. But given my limited attention span, I am kinda sleeping on him.

It would be a bonus if he came back.

Close halftime game turns into a blowout

Illinois so up and down. So good when they are up

Michigan no longer controls their own destiny for Big 10 title and not sure if they can win tiebreak

This is all very interesting and it would be great if something happens because of this discussion. I have great memories of the CT in the late ‘60’s. Same for the grocery next door. Do you know what happened to the mugs that were hanging over the bar?

They all got turned the wrong way!
