they will make the comeback... down 25-7 now

3/16/2007 2:55:20 PM

25-7, DAMN!!! Wisconsin looks like a lost team right now. This was supposed to be more of a home game for them. They are getting outplayed.

" An NBA fan doesn't like the brand of basketball played in the Big Ten? SHOCKING! Perhaps you aren't familiar with concepts like getting back on defense, movement away from the ball and half-court defense? Big 10 basketball is like a Robert Altman film, or Russian hockey in the 1970s -- difficult to watch for a novice, but pleasurable for a connoisseur." (Please note that those exact arguments are always made by women's basketball fans when they're defending the quality of play in the women's game ... once again proving my point, which is that watching the Big Ten was like watching an especially scrappy women's basketball game, only if the players occasionally dunked. Thanks for making my case for me."

3/16/2007 4:56:22 PM

that goes back to the common misconception that "shitty college offense" actually means "GREAT GREAT GREAT DEFENSE"

3/16/2007 5:01:05 PM

its great defense because i can go out there and score if nobody guardss me of course anybody can score so the higher level the game is played the lower the score will be

3/16/2007 5:06:38 PM

um no

The basket doesnt move.

And theres no goalie.


If you cant score, you suck period.

"the higher level the game is played the lower the score will be"

not really...considering the higher level the game is played, the higher level the offense

let alone the fundamental 6:5 ratio difference of a 48 minute game vs a 40 minute game

3/16/2007 5:10:21 PM

Also coming up with rules like "illegal defense" and a 24-second shot clock versus a 35-second shot clock does not necessarily mean it's a higher level of play. (Not to mention NBA games are 8 minutes longer.) All that just means that rules are set up in the NBA to force higher scoring.

A better example of higher level of play compared to college basketball as far as scoring is to look at international basketball if you need to make a comparison, as international rules are much closer to college than the NBA, and use all A-class internationals on both sides when two good teams play each other.
