Dammit, second in the Bracket Challenge again! If only I had Florida beating UConn! So yeah, one final four team, Florida.

IceBlu said:Just met Pittsnogle at the rec. Played a few rounds with him. He said he felt we had the game won against Texas when WV took the lead in the final 10 mins. Wasn't to be.
Great guy.
Yossarian said:Wow! It's pretty cool that he's that easily accessible off the court, man. You should've asked him if he was seriously considering the NBA and how he was preparing for it.
IceBlu said:Oh he is very easily accessible. He lives right by the basketball arena known as the Coliseum.
I wanted to ask him about the NBA but we started playing and I left soon after. I'll probably see him again today...
he is so down to earth. He actually waits for his turn to play if the courts are full.
ShiftyPowers said:It's actually not all that unusual on a college campus Yos. I've played pickup games against both Kammron Taylor and Mike Wilkenson. But it's still amazingly cool if you see one of the players on a court at the gym. Funnily enough, I saw Ray Nixon the other day balling; he was just as lazy as he is in regular games.
ShiftyPowers said:21 is the crappiest game in the history of the world. You don't get better in any way by driving against 56 defenders hacking the **** out of you.
Really, they were that much superior? Kammron Taylor, while better than everyone out there, wasn't by far superior to anyone, I mean, I used to guard him pretty often. Although Wilkenson on the other hand was the best shooter I've ever seen. It could have been because he's 6'10'' and guarded by some douchebag 5'10'' kid who was unathletic, but insisted on guarding him over me. But he hit EVERYTHING. And he wasn't really even trying, just being the last guy up the court and then knocking down a three.
Yossarian said:Cool.
There are two games that I know of that go to 21, American, and 21. 21 is a purely shooting game where someone breaks the ice from the free throw line and his opponent has to take the ball from wherever it lands, if it doesn't touch rim, you get to shoot from anywhere on the court including a simple layup which are counted as 1 point. Once you score that one point, you go behind the three point line for a two pointer. If you've got 19 and score a 1 pointer, you can't score your two pointer because that'll put you over 21 and bring you back to 11.
That's the 21 I'm referring to.

Beaverball at it's best!
$teauA said:That's way too complicated. I've always played it this way: every basket counts 2 points. Once you get to 20 you go behind the ark and shoot the 21 shot which counts 1 point. If you miss the 21 shot then your score goes back to 14. Much easier than your version.

ShiftyPowers said:We always called it hustle, where it's a complete free for all for scoring. You do anything you can to score, and everyone else does everything they can do to make you not score, fouls are basically encouraged. Any two point shot is 2 points, 3 point shots are 3 points, but whenever you make a shot, you go to the Free Throw Line (or the 3 point line) and you either get to shoot until you miss for 1 point shots, or you shoot until you miss up to 3 and then you take the ball out.
