My issue with the play-calling at the end of regulation is that they didn't even get a shot off! They had 24 secs on shot clock I believe (?) to setup the play. The problem is they went straight to Hooker, who is was in jail the entire game. He was locked down by those Irvine guards for 90% of the time, it was pretty impressive. Why would Hooker suddenly get himself free and beat them off the dribble now with the game on the line? Sure enough, he got locked up, had to pass and nobody else was ready or willing. Shot clock violation on the last possession to win the game. That literally NEVER happens. Not even a shot? Geno was embarrassing their guards all game and is a Top 4 guard in the league at home. Why would they not let him do what he did all game and beat his guy off the dribble, maybe get fouled on the way in, or drop a floater in the lane or dish to open guy on baseline after help came over?

He is going to love that he got "hate mail" and tell everyone on radio today. That was nothing more than a shock jock type of interview. Tried to be funny and light but in turn it ruined the interview when people actually wanted to get to know the guy.

SD, he said nobody cared. I said 1,263 people cared enough to come out.

Judging by the crowd a few people cared. #butrpi?

Never should have lost that game. So many chances. Once again, can't perform in OT when each possession is magnified.

Jones forces it to Hooker again to win the game and nothing. Hooker has been locked up all game. Let Geno win it in the drive, he has been killing his guy.

I think the UC IRVINE players have argued every foul call against them. Ridiculous

Shanks! Drop step off glass then a dunk too!

Crandall with a big dunk on breakaway. Down 3 late in first half. Fun game!

So we are up to winter hockey, spring hockey, and some summer hockey. Is there fall hockey, too?

What is "spring hockey"? Wouldn't regular season hockey have literally just ended before spring hockey begins?

Simple Dan doesn't know how the NIT auto-bids work. Not surprised.

The regular season champion of the BSC didn't choke so they had to settle for the NCAA tourney.

That would make sense. His twitter account is all positive NDSU, too. Very few jabs if any. Funny.

Ever since he moved to 970 I have not heard him criticize NDSU one time and I listen 3-4 times per week. Very strange how his tone has changed. He used to mock their fans when at 790 and try to get them riled up but now its all positive or nothing at all.

The above was stated earlier. Meaning they play many more games and have many more practices than basketball does. Meaning cost is elevated. Hockey involves more practices, camps, and tournaments than other sports and they space them out damn near year round now. That is undeniable.

Do they play legion still?

AAU Basketball is when they get much older around here, 8th grade, maybe, if you want to and are good enough. Add up the costs of playing the sports from the age of 6-7 on. Basketball is not expensive until almost high school, if the kid even makes it there. Hockey gets real at mite age and the kid might not make it to Bantams. As far as time involved, there is no comparison between sports. Hockey slowly takes over every month and squeezes out other sports, making it more expensive. Factor in all the gas driving to and from practices each week at $2 a gallon. How many hockey players play baseball in the summer?

Participating in sports, not sport. That was my point, not the money part. Comparing the cost of hockey to basketball is at best egregious.

That is part of what he is talking about. Chosen SPORT. Not SPORTS.

Wasn't the Summit ranked ahead of the MWC in the gold standard of collegiate ranking systems, the almighty RPI? How could this happen to IPFW tonight, I am mystified. #butrpi?

Later.

Just so you know, 7 years ago they almost beat Baylor in Women's Basketball. Suck on that.

Anything else?
