Makes it hard to cap games, JJ. Might as well play online blackjack instead.

It's all part of the game. Will never change.
Need to get those coks in Vegas to grade wagers after 40 minutes (especially on totals). Anything that happens in OT is total BS.You tell me a game will go into OT and I will bet over every time.

At least fouling is justifiable when down by a few points. What I can't stand is when a team is down 15+ and they start fouling like crazy with about 45 seconds left. Give me a break...you lost! Get over it! You aren't going to score 17 unanswered points in 45 seconds so just stop messing up the totals and spread.

nothing worse than having a team covering by 5 or 6 points then watch them start fouling. The other team ends up making free throws while your team launches up 3 pointers and missing. They end up not covering by 5 or 6.

Yeah, these prik coaches yelling "Foul, foul! Don't give up. Keep fouling!" Like that's a strategy.

Theoretically they can put up 1 pt per second in the end game foul situation.
Unders are never safe until you get the spread between score and total is less than the 1pt per second rule.

All fouls in the double bonus should be free throws and the ball back.

Also not predictable to easily factor into a line
minus points and overs at a premium all things equal

online casinos are definitely on par with college hoops as far as winning because of all the fouling
tons of bad beats

My solution is to implement a 4 or 5 point shot that is only good in the last 2 minutes of the game. It would help to minimize fouling and make the last couple minutes entertaining thanks to all the desperation heaves.

Actually the best thing they could do is implement a 24 second shot clock. Then teams can play good defense rather than resorting to fouling because the team with the ball can run so much time off the clock the way it is now.

I'm afraid that would make all the teams down 30 points with 5 minutes left start fouling so they could get the ball back for another 5 point heave.

Yeah you'd also have to expand the definition of intentional foul, which may be impractical.

They moved it back a few years ago. Teams having a hard enough time score these days. The free throw line needs to be at half the distance and the three point line moved in.

35 second shot clock is the reason it comes to this. Until that changes end games in CBB will be a foul fest

as opposed to the nba?
a total can be like 182...
it can be at 160 with 2 minutes left...
then it becomes a foul fest there
and goes flying over the total..

Have you ever shot a free throw?
I've never played on a basketball team in my life and I can knock down 90%+ easy. Move it any closer and you might as well just make a foul worth 2 points lol
The 3pt line is only 20.5ft too (5.5 feet from the free throw line). It's the in-game situations (defense, rush factor, etc) that makes them harder to hit, not the distance.
