And then there were two.

I don't like refs stopping the game at the end like that when a team has no timeouts left to see if there should be another tenth of a second on the clock. They should have to just finish the game as is unless there is an obvious time error.

You beat me to it. I was going to start a thread titled "And then there were two". They stormed the court. I guess beating number 1 is storming the court worthy.

One of, if not THE only, reasons a court storming is justified.

Agreed. Really takes the fun out of all of it. I liked the days of buzzer-beating shots, followed by court-storming, unlike now, we have to have a 3 minute replay meeting before everything's "official".

I've been torn on this all year. I want them to get the call right. I want them to get those OOB calls right. But it is giving teams extra timeouts.

Is there a solution to this? Make the players stand on the floor and not get coached or something?

Send them to an isolation booth.

Send them to an isolation booth.

Or just get 10 cones of silence on the floor?

[Aargh]

This is a total shock to me. I watched the SU/DU game because I thought that was the one to get rid of one of the undefeated teams.

I totally ignored this one because I didn't think there was any way 'Zona would lose this one.

It's good to be one of the last 2 teams without a loss, but I'm not going to get too high on that. The Shox have their toughest stretch of the season (other than possibly SLU in St. Louis) coming up.

Nice Maxwell Smart reference.

That is what the rule "technically" is. Players have to be on the floor but as long as the coach is within the Coaching Box( which is huge) everything is good.

[ShockBand]

Maybe players should have to stand on the floor on the half of the court in front of their opponent's bench.

How about the realization of a coach's rebuilding effort when he brings the team back from the edge of oblivion to win the conference before going to the S16? 10/10 would storm again. That was the beginning of a dynasty.

I agree. For both of the times we won the Valley in the past decade, I've been happy to storm the court. It's justified, even when playing a non-ranked opponent each time. On the other hand, I was ecstatic last year when we beat then #17 Creighton at home and decided NOT to rush the court. That win was expected.

[shock]

Anytime you cut the nets, expect fans on the floor.
