And no more Maize and Blue in Tourney either.

No real surprise there.  Dunno where Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway have their heads right now, but it hasn't been in the game for four games now.  If they don't perform, Michigan can't win (except against Penn State).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Zags are leading Ohio St. at the half.  Another 2 seed in danger.  :ph34r:

Hey Throbby, if you read this I could use an explanation of the five second rule please.

:unsure: Ohio State is winning by two. 

E:  Five second rule?  The closely guarded one or something else?

The closely guarded thing.

Oh, it seems to be just a way to get the ball moving around to other players.  If a defender is within a certain distance (4-5 feet? A real ref will know the actual distance, assuming there is one) of the dude with the ball, they start a count.  If the defender backs off, switches with another defender,  the guy with the ball passes it, or gets by the defender, the count stops until the defender moves back into his face.

There's probably more to it, but that's the general idea as far as I know.  I always turn it off in video games.  :P

A player on offense can't stay in the key longer than 5 seconds, that's what the ref is waving his arm off when he does that wrestling-style count.  I think.

Lane violation is 3 seconds, Superfan.

Then maybe it's icing.  I dunno.

Commodore 64's out.

Cyclones/Wildcats keeps oscillating between a close game and a blow out.  I gave 10 points and feel pretty good about the bet.

Well the Baylor - Colorado game was awesome, then Baylor went absolutely nuts. :blink:
