Again, not the same thing.

Those were accidental fouls. Dumb, sure. But they weren't something that could be structured or planned for via a TO. They both occurred due to the unexpected occurrences of ball path on the court.

That epic fail that St. Bonnies just had is totally different. They have 100% control. They CHOSE not to shoot a 3.

First round has been nothing but blowouts, bad reffing, and a few upset teases with no payoffs. Lots of stupidity by coaches and players too, but I'm guessing that's every year.

I feel like it's a good sign that Norfolk is wearing green and being led by a guy named Kyle O'Quinn, they're gonna get it done and then everybody's getting drunk

We were talking about stupid decisions at end of games, glad to know you are having your own conversation broski

also obvious you didn't watch that game or are being an idiot, pretty sure it's a choice to attempt to bearhug someone 90ft from the basket with 1 second left after a free throw can be planned via TO.

I'm pretty sure it was 2010 was the year where the 1st round was noticably epic, tons of upsets, tons of buzzer beaters, etc.

Stutz wasn't really a joke although I framed it as such. The point is that you don't have to be particularly skilled to dominate in the paint against players who are 5 inches shorter than you. But it's not going to translate as well as say, a guard with a lethal 3 point shot who only needs an inch of daylight to get it off (see: Steph Curry).

I'm sure there are other ways that mid-majors skew their rankings, but I don't have any off the top of my head.

lol at extreme talent discrepancies though, good way to put it.
