Maryland looks so lethargic out there.

Man this is ugly so far, so early, to be expected. But Kentucky has the drive tendency on 100 right now and the refs have fouls for everything at 1000.

Marcus Lee is underrated. Impressed.

Indiana beats Chicago St. 100-72. Didn't get to see the game since it wasn't on tv, but it looks like the refs were whistle happy as Chicago St was called for 36 fouls that lead to 55 free throw attempts for IU. I have to believe that total was because of the new foul rules.

Also, strange to see a team only make one 3 point field goal and score a 100 points, but that's what IU did tonight.

I was listening to the Marquette post game show on my way home from work. I guess they beat Southern University. The thing that caught my ear was Marquette scored 63 total points and shot 53 free throws!

These new foul rules could make games into 3 hour free throw shooting contests.

Sounding alot like the refs controlled most of the games tonight, hope this isn't a new trend, but it really slowed down play in the first half in the Kentucky game.

Refs kept the hammer down on the new hand checking rule. Points of Emphasis for them I guess.

I guess Alford can't be worse then Howland, but I don't see that much upside for a prestigious school like UCLA under Alford. Alford is not the answer.

I guess if you're only counting towards the end of the Howland era it can't be worse, but I think there is a 0% chance Alford takes them to the heights Howland did early on.

Alford sucks as a tournament coach.

Re: 11/8-11/10 Game Discussion Thread

could somebody enlighten me on the new foul rules, I keep hearing the announcers talk about it but I'm not familiar with all the changes.

Thanks

If the refs are consistent in calling fouls from the rule changes(which I agreed with when the changes were announced) then teams(especially physical high pressure teams like UL, VCU) will adjust.

Yes, it will be ugly this first month because coaches are going to see just how much the refs will let go. By December everyone will have adjusted defensively to the rule changes.

I know I'm not breaking any earth-shattering news here, but Jabari Parker is really good.

The Ducks-Georgetown Hoyas game was interesting. The refs were in my opinion pretty bad. I think it was Joseph Young, probably the best player on the team. I don't know how Dana Altman gets these transfers. He's great at bringing them to Oregon.

And Dameyan Dotson was disappointing. His free throw ability and 3's have almost regressed. I wasn't happy to see that. Hopefully he improves with time.

Go Ducks!

I know teams will adjust but the games I have seen so far have pretty much been unbearable.

My schools first D1 basketball game in school history was last night and we played Michigan. That's a tough matchup and of course we got killed.

Were tied with us at the half though. That's something.
