This was not the half time score--UVA 48 Syracuse 34. I guess that's old school?

They say that, but when you look at games from the pre-shot clock era there were actually more possessions per game on average, and more points scored. The 35 second shot clock ere was the slowest the game ever was. Something I learned (I think) from Ken Pomeroy.

Ouch. That had to be painful to watch.

The slate of games tonight is less than stellar.

Interesting, you would thought it would’ve been when they implemented the 45 second clock. Guess some remembered Dean Smith’s four corner offensive. As that type of game was brutal to watch, nothing compares to the 1983 UC UK game I went to. Final score UK 24 - UC 11 and 15 made field goals on 31 attempts.

Oh I'm sure there were certainly games and teams that slowed it down to the point of wanting to make people set their heads on fire. As a whole, the general pace was faster. Which is kind of interesting. The only thing I can think of is that before you had 35 seconds to shoot, they saw no point in running the clock down.

Seattle v Wazzu is kind of interesting. Seattle had a pretty good team last year until they lost seemingly all their starters to injury. They are healthy again this year, and may be good enough to beat a crappy P5 team on the road.

Actually...what am I saying?? No one really cares about that but me.

Brew, that game is way past my bedtime.

I took Seattle +3.5 on your recommendation. I hope that $25 weighs heavily on you if the (whatever Seattle's mascot is) don't cover!

Redhawks (formerly Chieftains)

I have no life to remember things like that.
