Michigan State leading Valpo 11-8 with just under 11 minutes left in the first half in the tournament opener.

Bucknell and Butler underway.....This one should be a good game.

Sparty rolling at the half!

My championship game pick is looking pretty good then! Although there is a long way to go .

Mich State up 35-18 over Valpo at the Half.

 

Butler with the 5 point lead over Buckness with a minute left in the 1st.

Butler goes to the half with a 7 point lead.

Another one that could be pretty entertaining in Wichita St./Pittsburgh just tipped.

^ That's the one I'm watching.

I just saw Allie Laforce for the first time. That is all I have to say...that is my update. :bunny:

Have I made it clear how bad refs are at calling the block/charge and how much I dislike it? Mich St. player jumps to his right around Valpo player on a nice dunk, the defensive player never really gets set and starts falling down before there is contact, but because the Mich St. player's left hip brushed near Valpo players left side, charging is called.

I'm starting to think they should extend the line under the basket a bit farther out so refs can see the calls a bit easier (as its typical to have a cluster down low) and you will see less people trying to take a charge since it will be easier to around it as they will have to set it up farther away from the basket.... hence less calls will be made. Just a thought.

Bucknell on a roll right now....Would suck for me but I had Davidson beating Butler so not too bad I suppose..

Butler is 0-14 from 3.

 

 

Bucknell leads by 6 and is on a 19-2 run.
