Actionless Contest

[26 Year Gap]

The Villanova game plan was worked to perfection against Georgetown. From a fan's standpoint, it was a fun game to watch. Even with no 3 point line, the underdog managed 9 for 10 shooting in the second half and they pulled off a huge win. The advent of the shot clock shortly thereafter took away those opportunities to see games like that ever again. For the number of times that an "actionless" contest occurs, adding an expense to schools (see numerous threads on why states do not go to mandatory 3 crew games) and the chance for more errors at the table seem to be counterproductive in my view.

Don't like the stall? Play tight defense and get a five second count.
