Because of media time-outs, it’s arguably more accurate to say that men play four-minute deciles.Quote:

Inertia? Every one else plays quarters, from middle school to the Olympics. NCAA men's is the only hold-out.Quote:

I also like that teams that can't shoot FTs are further penalized by the 1&1.Quote:

Troy off to 7-3 lead. But at least Duke isn't turning it over.
Ugly start. 7-5 Troy, after a bunch of awful offensive possessions (and two missed Balogun FTs).
Day-Wilson triple gives Duke first lead at 12-10.
Another Day-Wilson 3-pointer puts Duke up 15-10 at first media timeout.
Two threes for Day Wilson, the second after an oboard. Keeping troy off the boards is gonna be crazy frustrating at this rate.
Jim, do you know why Lewis is not dressed out to play?
Troy is being very aggressive on defense, especially under the basket, reaching/grabbing for everything.
Amaya Finklea first non-usual member of the rotation to come in.
I do not know anything about Lewis' status. I have asked more than once but haven't gotten any info. I suspect it's nothing good but that's just speculation on my part.Quote:

Thanks. 22-16 after one.Quote:

Two games in a row where Day- Wilson has changed the energy of the teamQuote:
