Not sure you can ban it or stop it but I think players and coaches ought to be allowed to bare knuckle brawl their way to the locker room. If you’re on the court and get decked it’s your own damn fault.

If i had just lost a tough game, i am pissed. If some fan starts running up to me or is yelling in my face, they are going to get popped!
that might stop some of it

I suppose that in the last minute of a game with the outcome not in doubt, a coach could just call timeout and send the troops to the dressing room. That still would not account for a buzzer beating winning shot.
The WF court storm was instantaneous, so no time for the Dukies to GTF off the court.

I’m on board with this. Actions have consequences. I know there are people on this planet that don’t believe in such a thing these days. These games are highly contested and there’s a reason there’s a minimum 10 minute cool off period before anybody is allowed to talk to the media.

What stood out to me rewatching the storm was when Jon Scheyer noticed what happened, you see this kid with the camera phone out yelling and recording what he’s doing. Didn’t have those in my day (I know, old man). Who knows what the motivation is of these kids running on the court. DTA, don’t trust anybody.

Cory Alexander is the worst MBB commentator currently employed. His cadence, his inflection, and his entire motif of just starting to talk without having any idea what his point is, are like nails on a chalk board.

He’s brutal.

As long as he is employed by ESPN, I am perfectly happy with the Niners never being in the ACC or playing any ACC team in a game that he calls.

Duke would never do that after a big win.

Blew a 19 pt second half lead but got the 100-96 win in OT vs Winthrop:

Brice with a mostly forgeable outing - 7 pts + 2 rebs. Didn’t help that he had 4 fouls that limited his court time but whistles were definitely going against the Huskers - 21 fouls vs 9 on the Buckeyes. As such, a FT disparity of 8 (made 7) for UNL and 28 (made 24) for the home team.

This Dayton vs Loyola Chicago game is NUTS. Both teams playing proper March madness basketball. Recommend tuning into the 2nd half if you want to see a good game tonight.

Is Loyola the team that had the old nun following them during the NCAA tournament a while back?

Their mascot

Oh yea, apparently so.

This game against Dayton was great. 77-72 LUC

WOW!!! That would be hard to do

We scored 9 points in a half one time when we hosted Mississippi State. :disappointed:

Yep…iirc, they scored 21.
