Can you actually get ESPN360? It's limited to certain areas (that have certain cable/broadband companies). I wanted to watch certain games on it a while back but I couldn't get it, even with broadband in the house.

Holy, Duke and WVU are hammering the $h!t outta each other...

Anyone else notice a handful of times where we've had two L officials (both men's and women's sides)? The K-State/UW-Madison game just had a foul whistled in the paint, with one official on each side of the lane - both called it.

Please tell me this is some new mechanic of which I haven't been informed.

That said, if any of the officials are caving under the pressure, I'm sure a few people on here are more than willing to take over for them.

We just noticed it in KState/Wisconsin, (edited to add) as you said.

looked like it might have been intentional, but of course, that's hard to imagine. Still, it did give an excellent angle on lots and lots of contact/

That was TOTALLY a block.

And why did the C run all the way in to make the call (and the wrong one at that)?

Mark - Juulie - might be an over-anxious C going too low down?

might be

but it's hard to tell. He was totally set up. THey both were. I'm gonna go back and replay pretty soon, but the it wasn't obvious at the instant.

The screwy thing was it was after a missed FT at the other end. Why in the world the C went to L, I have no idea.

yup. you're right. We've got one of the companies that they list, but apparently that company has chosen not to put it into our neighborhood (I'll restrain my comments about living inside the red line...). So I'll be spending a lot of time at the local sports bar.
