Yeah, that's disgusting & a waste of everybody's time. #1 girls team playing a #456 team.
SC should have turned the lights off & went back to the dorms after the 1st Qtr. of play.

Lights were turned out early here this past week: IMG Academy game called after nearly 100-point lead at halftime

Why on earth did those schools ever agree to play each other? Shoot, posters on the baseball forum could've done better even if we were coached by certain people who like the Detroit Lions and Kirby Smart.

This Tennessee basketball team is going to be fun to watch. Barnes preached inside out and to get the best shot you can each possession in his first 5 years. Now, it’s if you’re open you better shoot. Pass the ball, don’t let it stick, yes. But, you better shoot if you’re the first one open. Then, rebound hard. It’s funny because he would go off on guys who took what he deemed bad shots. Now, it’s take every open shot. Love it.
