Clones vs Blue Jays

I haven't watched much Clone ball lately, but if they are allowed to play defense the way they are playing Creighton right now, they should barrel through their schedule. The female announcer claims that ISU never fouls (maybe she meant never gets called for fouls), so I guess having two hands on your man and wrapping him up constantly is no longer fouling. Nice to know, I guess.

Iowa State has been much more physical in the past.
 




Such a dumbass tournament. ISU went 2-0 and will play for 5th place. St. John's hit a meaningless layup at the buzzer which knocked ISU down to the 5th place game.

On the bright side for them, they get $1 million for their NIL just for playing in the tournament. 1st place gets another million, 2nd place gets a half million, and 3rd place gets a quarter million extra. The field will expand to 32 teams next year.

First year of it and they had a million teams wanting in so the format went nuts.

Next year the 32 teams will all be in 8 team brackets so it will make a lot more sense.

Maybe. Like I said, I hardly watch them, but I was always told that two hands on the opposition is a foul. Not at yesterday's contest.
In any event, it was a basketball game between two teams that I hoped could both lose.

Iowa State plays like that every game and most teams do.

Then the sport of basketball has been denigrated even further. And as far as I can tell, Iowa doesn't play that way, nor do I want them to. I love college basketball, and I know we'll never go back to the days when players actually dribbled the ball according to the rules of the game. I don't want to turn back the clock on all the nuances of the game, but allowing players to "guard" their opponent by holding them with both hands should be a foul, just as it was fifty years ago.

Yes, and all you whippersnappers, get off my lawn!
