Someone posted this on our board site. Norman Dale's three passes before a shot could have been employed. And I wonder if the press was used all game long.

Once a team is up by 25 or 30 every 3 point attempt thereafter should be an automatic travel.

My cousin's son played for Lincoln 2 years ago but he transferred after the 2004-05 season. Guess he should have stuck around.

While the score disgusts me, I find it interesting that the kid who hit the 21 three's only played 24 minutes of the game...so he was just flat-out on fire. Could the team ahead have run the shot-clock down more on each possession? Sure...but at some point, doesn't the team getting their a$$es kicked bear some responsibility for not putting a better product on the floor?

To me, I think the onus falls more on the team that's ahead. There is no class coming from the person coaching the team. It's entirely possible that a school could have disciplinary reasons, coach change new regime, etc., where the team they put out is just not that good. I don't think that a school can say, we don't want to participate this year in the NCAA because we know we're not going to be any good this year.

Once you have a comfortable lead, you should empty the bench and try to run some plays, etc. Perfect time to turn this game into a practice session and work on some new plays instead of run it down the other teams throat. You would also think that at the collegiate level there would be some disciplinary issues back at the school/program that ran up the score. I know if I was the A/D I would have some words with that coach.

Or...how about this....after a guy makes his first oh, I dont know....5 threes.....GUARD HIM!

[tomegun]

Yeah, when I was playing there would definitely be three free throws taken after someone hit 3 threes. I wouldn't take too kindly to someone setting a record like that on me when the game is obviously over.
