Butler just got a huge road win at Creighton. 99-98 in regulation. 

Yeah, that last minute was quite an ending.

Curling rink dimensions and the weight of the stones are the same for Junior, Senior and Olympic curlers😛😛🤪

I don't know anything about curling except that I don't mind watching women's teams. 😉

Only if its ok with everyone. We have been doing a few yummy recipes lately, pulled pork croquettes, Dorito covered meatballs and pulled pork queso! Let me know if you guys want to see em

You ever do a pulled pork chili?  I've done it a few times. I'll split my usual amount of chili seasoning with my rub 50/50. I recommend and would be interested in what you think.

It drives me nuts when people enter the exit or exit the entrance at stores where is possible.  It's the only time I'm a real dick in public.  I refuse to move out of the way. 

Also, when people park their cart on one side of an isle and shop on the other. It's America. We drive on the right, shop and move through the isles on the right.

This came across my Facebook feed.  Truly a loser mentality giving themselves mid season awards.  

 

20 wins — no longer a college hoops benchmark

They are living off of their win over Bama in a Thanksgiving tourney

Mich State beat Baylor by 24. They must be riding that because I see nothing that justifies being 22.

I’m amazed how many of you think fouls should be even for every game 

They don't have to be even but teams getting 20+ more opportunities for free points is ridiculous.

So after 3 blocks you started shooting?

Lol!  It wasn't a war zone back then. I wanted to throat punch some people though.

How far apart are the following teams in the NET rankings?

Team 1: 13-8, 1-4 road, 1-2 neutral, 2-7 quad 1, 2-1 quad 2. No quad 3 or 4 losses

Team 2: 13-8, 1-4 road, 1-2 neutral, 0-7 quad 1, 3-1 quad 2. No quad 3 or 4 losses

 

It's also absurd Ohio State is ranked higher.

I’m sure this is buried in the 30-some odd pages but my rant for the morning is regarding common courtesies. Why are they so difficult to mutter for some?  A simple Please. Thank you. You’re welcome, goes a long way. I blame my awesome midwestern values for heightening these expectations.

Ugggh. Happy Friday!  

My first time to Chicago was my first time to a real big city as an adult. I think I walked about 3 blocks and said the hell with it. When in Rome.

The college field requirements are almost identical to the pros. 

My confusion has always been around why nothing else really changes with the court between HS, college and the NBA (maybe the width of the paint does too?). Why isn't the free throw line closer for example? 

The field dimensions in football are the same at all levels.

College 3's are 2 feet shorter than the NBA

Touche but the point is still the same. They should have left it alone. 

I don't watch the NBA so my ignorance showed up.

The AAU comment is confusing. Some of the best ball movement, and player movement I have seen is in AAU. 

But.. just move the line back to 19ft 9in (what it was when it was introduced), 2.5 feet closer than what it is now, and watch the %s skyrocket. 

I think it's pretty ridiculous to expect a high school kid to come in and shoot NBA threes while learning the college game. I thought it was dumb when they moved it. At worst split the difference or just left it alone.

I hadn’t seen him this year, but that tells you why that game was officiated so poorly. I was just told that a certain few guys didn’t get renewed. I hadn’t seen him or Scirotto so figured they got canned. Hopefully for the Big10 that was one of one or a couple for Green. Anybody seen Scirotto this year? I don’t watch much when IU isn’t playing.

Looks like scrotum took another police chief job

You tip your cap to JHS. Those are low percentage shots and he hit a lot of them. 
 

Giving up 61 points isn’t why we lost. I can probably count on one hand how many times we’ve given up 61 and lost. 

I bet they'd be a higher percentage shot if players actually practiced them.

You think that’s why we lost? We gave up 61 points lol. We lost because we couldn’t hit a 3 to save our lives. 

Look at the game at IU last year. JHS ran the same play about a dozen times to take a shot from about 15ft. Hit about all of them. 

If I can notice that then surely Painter could have tried to stop it. 

You gave up 61 pts because those guards were too quick.

Looked like a flop to me. You're saying that dude is going to toss that redwood around?

In two games, PU attempted 87 FTs against NW. Difference was in Evanston, NW attempted 32, but 8 in WeLaf. NW is just the better team and exposed PU. Teams with quick guards who can score will be the end of the Boilers. 

I think the formula was established last season when we swept them and they lost to a #16 seed that done the same essentially.

I think the younger crowd impression if basketball during that era is they held the ball and only shot inside.

Just Dean Smith. 

The universities should be staying out of it. The spirit of NIL from my understanding is the players put in the work to go get their own endorsement deals or sell their own selves.
