63 FT shot in the Tulsa game....how terrible will conference play be with the inconsistency REF that the MVC will employ.

The NCAA has really ruined college basketball this year. Nobody wants to see refs take over games. They'd rather watch a 51-50 grinder over a 102-101 free throw shooting contest. Stop trying to be like the NBA. That's what makes college basketball fun to watch.

51-50 grinders were killing college basketball. What people want to see is 85-83 and simply called correctly.

I didn't say 51-50 grinders were fun to watch. I said they were more fun to watch than free throw contests.

If they were calling games back in the 2000s like they are now, SIU would have never had the run they did.

saluki762 is obviously a young kid who didn't get a chance to cheer on his Salukis 10 years ago. Just so you know, everyone else adjusted to how the Salukis played so they could beat them. Salukis fouled so much the referees couldn't call them all so that got plenty of steals from their full court pressure. Now other teams are more physical than SIU and you cry?
That is a classic.

10 years ago, I was happy with the wins but would admit it was terrible basketball. I would rather win 51-50 than lose 85-83, doesn't mean the 51-50 is good basketball. Now to act like a kid why don't you go f*** yourself for assuming anything about me.

Thank you for your comments. All but your last sentence sounded honest and mature. I will respond with honesty to your first comment. It just sounds a little hypocritical to like winning however it is done, but appreciate good basketball during a year when you probably won't be good enough to win many games. If your team was a championship team, you may not have mentioned what good basketball is to you.

I will say that I think (maybe hoping) that the Shockers are going to be have the physical ability to hang with physical teams in physical games but still be able to play a game that is conducive to a closely called game without losing because of it.
