RTR! I’m very intrigued in these experimental rules. I think the widening of the lane really helps us out. Should naturally space the floor a little more for us to get to the rim.

The wizards in the western desert are right more than they are wrong, but a 16 point favorite sounds high for a team that that is clearly struggling. My hope is we get to Madison Square Garden and win it so we can build momentum going into next year.
My guess is that we win by 30 or lose by 1

I wonder if we had to pay to have the floor realigned for the NIT.

I’m sure that we did, but it really isn’t a major deal. You are just adding an additional 3 point line, and lines for a widened lane. Shouldn’t be too bad.

I actually hope that we adopt almost everyone of these rule changes. I at least hope that we go to the widened lane.

I like the rules as well. The widened lane doesn't stop the defenders from occupying the lane but it should, as you mentioned earlier, naturally force the defenders out to follow the players they are covering.

Also, Bama will not miss the front end of a one-and-one at the free throw line with all bonus fouls being 2-shot opportunities...

I’m sorry, but that’s when you know that there is zero discipline in this program. Herb let the guy go by him on purpose to try to block his shot. That’s inexcusable from any player.

Well, I'm hearing CAJ is gone. Let's see if I'm right. If so, we'll see much of AJJ tonight...
