Stop fouling!

One thing I absolutely cannot stand in basketball is teams fouling at the end of a game they have no chance to win.

If it's close and you can conceivably come back if the other team misses a foul shot or two, fine. I don't like it, but I understand. But why on Earth would Richmond foul St. Mary's players with a minute left and St. Mary's up by 11. Stop that! You're going to lose, why do you want to drag that out any longer?

Luckily, the last 60 seconds went pretty quickly and St. Mary's is an 80-71 winner.

And that wraps up the afternoon games at the Dunk. Now we get a couple hours to stop watching basketball before we regroup for the night games.

We're together in that regard. I was flat out awful yesterday.
