Why is it that when someone is out there stirring up trouble, it's usually you?

Because I have to stay on brand.

We all have our crosses to bear, I guess.

I've never liked playing a different, second game (3x3) to decide a game (5x5); and, l like even less a skills competition to decide the first and second games. 

Do I like all the number-fiddling* that comes with 3x3 then SOs when it comes to RPI and PWR calcs? No. 

What I will say is I'd rather win in regulation, but if that doesn't happen I rather win in OT than lose in OT or regulation. 

* 2/3 of a win? Is that like making it 2/3 of the way with the homecoming queen**?
** someone explain to our NDSU friends what that is

The 2/3 points for an OT win was to get the smaller schools, to get on board to make it 3x3 in the NCAA. The smaller schools felt they couldn't compete with the bigger schools with more talented players. 

Everyone just needs to go back to 5x5 for 10 minutes and dump the shootout.

Agreed + all wins = 2pts Regardless of OT & all ties = 1 or is that too complicated for the NCAA?

This would be my preference as well.

Yes, but then we don’t get a winner or loser if we allow ties.  What would people do?
