I watched the end until a different game came on. It was horrible.

Next season we need to fix the shot clock. These handcheck fouls and charging calls have been good fixes. Lowering the shot clock would go a long way to ending Becky Ball.

I also wouldn't complain if the three-point line moved back to the international three.

It is at the international three.

It is at the international three.

I don't think so. The international line is about 22 feet 1 inch. The college line is 20 feet 9 inches.

I thought I saw a stat displayed at one point in the second half that said that Wisconsin was shooting 28% from the field to Virginia's 25%. I only watched the second half, but Virginia missed a whole bunch of point blank looks.

And looking back at the ESPN box score, it shows Wisconsin out-shot Virginia from the field 28.8% to 23.4%, and 21.7% to 9.1% from three. Yuck.

And I thought discussing hemorrhoidal surgeries at med school was disgusting, this game superseded that by a long ways.
