I don't want to speak too soon, but Winthrop is shooting lights out on ESPN2 right now. I hope MSU can pull it out.

In addition to shooting lights out, Winthrop is taking away the 3 from MSU by guarding the perimeter and not sagging inside...Maybe there is something we could learn from this??? -
I thought the same thing. Huh?Comment

Even more frustrating is that we have great post defenders in Stout and Coleman (and Jordan, IMO), so there is NO NEED to sag, we just get out and guard the perimeter!Comment

not a good start for the MVC in the BB weekend.
I have a good feeling about the Nevada game tomorrow though.Comment

MSU didn't play particularly well, but I was very impressed by Winthrop. That's a damn good team. I think they may have just bumped up their seed by a couple of spots.Comment

Winthrop will be a bracket buster this year.Comment

I thought one of the calls that really changed the momentum was right before halftime. With .4 seconds left, the officiating crew allowed Winthrop's player to catch and shoot the ball with that much time remaining. There is no way a person can catch and shoot with only .4 seconds. It was a three pointer, and it took it from a 4 point game at half to 1 point game at half, with Winthrop getting the ball first in the 2nd half.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Isn't the rule you can catch and shoot as long as there is more than .3 on the clock? Maybe thats only the NBA.

I believe you can control tip a ball with .3 seconds. But other than that, there is no way you can catch and release in that short period of time.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

I know back in my days of playing NBA Live on the Sega Genesis, you couldn't do anything more than tip it in with .3 seconds...that may be what you are referring to Milocat!

Yep the rule is that when it's under .3 you can only "tap" it in. The real problem is with the MSU scoreboard operator....need to have a quicker finger.Originally posted by MiloCat View Post

This wasw bugging me, so I looked it up in the NCAA rule book, and I found this.
Art. 5. In any period, when the game clock displays 10ths of seconds and
play is to be resumed by a throw-in or a free throw when 3/10 (.3) of a second
or less remains on the game clock, a player may not gain possession of
the ball and try for a field goal. Such player can only score a field goal by
means of a tap of the pass or of a missed free throw.Comment
