Seadragon76 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Two more bids have been given out.Congrats to the Chattanooga Mocs and the VCU Rams!Chattanooga took advantage of the home court to beat the weary College of Charleston Cougars and earn the SoCon title. VCU ran roughshod over George Mason to earn the CAA title and, if Duke fans remember, these guys are a real pain to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a prediction too: U-Dub is going to run rampant in the tourny, bring home the title and get themselves a nice little 5 seed or, if the pieces fall correctly, a good 4 seed.No hopeful, they will beat the Huskies.

I know it's probably extreme, but that's the only reason I can really come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of that rule.College. It happened earlier tonight.A Saint Mary's player dunked a ball in the pre-game layups (with the refs on the court), and before the ball was tipped off, a Gonzaga player got two free throws because of that technical foul. So Gonzaga had points on the board with 20:00 on the game clock before the opening tip.It can't be a safety issue...they allow dunks during the game. It can't be a taunting thing...the other team is nowhere around, and I doubt someone on the opposing team is going to get offended because a guy on the other team can dunk a ball.That's just dumb.

Seadragon76 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 bills already did the work for me. Congrats to Siena... and that other school from Spokane... for reaching the tourny.Today, three bids are on the line.Horizon League Championship#3 Cleveland State Vikings at #1 Butler BulldogsDidn't we see this last year? Butler knocked off CSU at home to win the Horizon League title last season and once again, these two will meet. Butler has locked up an at-large bid, but they don't want to disappoint the home crowdSummit League Championship#1 North Dakota State Bison vs. #3 Oakland Golden GrizzliesThis is the opportunity all DI schools strive for. For NDSU, this is their first season as an official Division I school and they would love to reach the NCAA tourny in their first attempt. Standing in their way is Oakland, who has been there and done thatSun Belt Championship#1 Western Kentucky Hilltoppers vs. #6 South Alabama JaguarsLast season, both of these teams made the tourny. WKU won the auto bid while South Alabama got a rare at-large for the Sun Belt. This season, there will be no at-large bid for the conference and the winner goes on to the tourny, plain and simpleIn today's action...Big East 1st Round - At New York City-Cincinnati vs. DePaul-Georgetown vs. St. John's-Notre Dame vs. Rutgers-Seton Hall vs. South FloridaBig Sky Semifinals - At Ogden, UT-Portland State vs. Idaho State-Weber State vs. Montana StateMid-American 1st Round - At Cleveland, OH-Central Michigan vs. Eastern Michigan-Kent State vs. Northern Illinois-Western Michigan vs. Ohio-Akron vs. ToledoMEAC 1st Round - At Winston-Salem, NC-Delaware State vs. Hampton-Florida A&M vs. HowardWAC 1st Round - At Reno, NV-Hawaii vs. Fresno State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydnimrod Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I always thought that dunking during warmups was a high school rule only.But if it's not, then I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to dunk after the buzzer sounds for halftime. I was at a high school game where a player dunk two seconds after the buzzer sounded for halftime (he left the ground after the buzzer went off) and got a technical for it. I'm pretty sure the rule is something like: a player can not touch the rim when the clock is not within the minutes of the half, as in the player can touch the rim from 20:00 on the clock to 0:00 in the first half, and within 20:00 and 0:00 in the second half.

There is like 5 minutes you can't dunk.Which leads to this question: Why is dunking a ball (with the refs are on the court) during shootarounds a technical foul?Under NFHS and NCAA men?s rules, players are not allowed to dunk the basketball before the game or during intermissions until the jurisdiction of the officials has ended (NFHS 10-3-4; NCAA 10-3-13). The women?s game has no such provision. The penalty for such action, however, is decidedly different. I remember when I was about 8 or 9, some games in Dc and Baltimire used to start at 4-3 before tip off. It is illegal to dunk or grasp the rim before teh game starts, however if the officiating crew, who holds what is called "elastic power", does not appear on court until 5 minutes prior to the start of the game, they cannot see or call it. In high school, the player is charged with a technical foul and the coach is also charged indirectly. Whenever the coach is charged (directly or indirectly) with a technical foul, he/she loses the privilege of using the coaching box (for states utilizing the optional coaching box). The game begins with two free throws for team A and the ball is awarded to team A for division line throw-in opposite the table. The possession arrow would then be pointed toward team B?s basket. In an NCAA men?s game, an indirect technical foul is charged to the team B player. Since the technical is indirect, it does not count toward the player?s five fouls for disqualification or the team foul total. Team A is awarded two free throws to begin the game and the ball shall be put in play with a jump ball. In an NCAA women?s game, no penalties would be assessed.

Seadragon76 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The Summit League champs are the Bison from North Dakota State!They become the first time in 39 years to earn their first bid to the tourny in their first season of eligibility. The last team to pull that off: Long Beach State in 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
