How did it take 30 years for LMU to put up a Hank Gathers statue?

This lead me to look at Paul Westhead's career, arguably the most insane coaching career I've ever seen.

That needs to be a 30 for 30.  Wildly successful at two mid-majors, but a total failure at the third.  Won a title in his first NBA season, but was run out by his star.  Was horrible in both other NBA stints, but coached a crazy fun Nuggets team.  Won a WNBA title.  Just all over the place.

I'm not complaining about the refs.  I'm just saying, when, with a Big Ten title on the line, the MSU has 13 fouls called on them when Maryland has 3, you certainly can't argue they are actively trying to screw Maryland. Even despite what a neutral account like "TerpsWatch" thinks.  Hopefully Mark Turgeon got home on time.

Yes, because the simple minded thinking of the number of fouls is indicative of how the game is called.

Please explain how, even in a game called this lopsided, you can still point to an anti-Maryland bias?  Again, I'm not complaining, I just don't see any way humanly possible for Maryland fans to complain.  Then again, the coach complains about tip times, so maybe as goes the head.

And ended his career as an unsuccessful coach of the Oregon women's team.

There's always a way to complain.

UCLA fans chanting "overrated" at an unranked Arizona team?

I didn't at first, but since you want to be a grade A A-hole about it, I figured I'd continue. 

However, it's quite simple, and I already explained it.

Why any crowd would chant "overrated" is beyond me. One's defeat of a team that is overrated is a plus? No. 
To defeat a team properly rated, or is underrated would be preferable in my book.

Still no Carton or Gaffney for Bucks. Young doubtful

For all the joking about OSU being a terrible January team, the month by month adjusted efficiencies are incredibly stark

Rather large game for UW today.

The Gophers are notably better than their record, and Pitino still has them fighting, a small solace I suppose. If UW wins, it will almost assuredly have 20 wins heading into the season finale and a chance to play for at least second place. Given everything that has happened this year, that is a remarkable thing to think about.

Anyway, Minnesota has enough pieces to be a problem and just crushed UW in the Twin Cities. Hopefully UW keeps this thing going well for another day.

Because we are a people that wants to insult and tear down. Our own elevation is secondary to taking our opponent and shoving them down. (Well, for a lot of people)

M*ch players are out of control here in the last 3 minutes, lots of flailing, flopping, and running into the back of other players.
