11 -3 after 4 , madsen with a bl;ocking foul.
he only got to play 16 minutes before fouling out against Walsh

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

Diebler with two threes already 18-5

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

I only caught the end of the technical foul for having a single digit number higher than 5. I have never heard of that before?

random. I'd like to know the reasoning behind that.

That's been the rule for awhile... only digits 0-5 are allowed in college, in either slot.

Squad number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American basketball leagues at all levels traditionally use single and double digits between 0 and 5 (i.e. 0, 00, 1-5, 10-15, 20-25, 30-35, 40-45, and 50-55). The NCAA and most amateur competitions mandate that only these numbers be used. This eases non-verbal communication between referees, who use fingers to denote a player's number, and the official scorer. In college basketball, single-digit players' numbers are officially recorded as having a leading zero. Teams can have either a "0" or "00" but not both.

Good old wiki, guess I never noticed.

It might have something to do with the way refs report fouls to the official score keeper. I believe the rule is in place to make it easy to signal who the foul is on with one hand. That's why you don't see any numbers ending in anything higher than 5, and no numbers beginning with anything larger than the 50s.

Disclaimer: I could be completely wrong. For some reason I think I remember that from my high school days.

Edit: You guys who are faster at the internets than me beat me to it.

That's interesting. I have never heard of that before. To stay on topic 44-21 Bucks. Diebler has 4 threes and Evan Turner is playing very well.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

The Buckeyes look great. I know Alcorn St. is young, but WOW, the athleticism by the Bucks is insane.

 

[RocketBuckeye]

I mean, I know it's Alcorn State, but you have to be impressed so far. Turner at the point will be interesting throughout the season. Buford and Diebler look great.

 

[BB73]

This Buckeye team's going to be a fun team to watch. Playing man-to-man defense, running the floor, shooting a lot of 3s.

Turner with at least 12 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists at halftime.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Turner a near triple double at halftime

12 points 11 boards 7 assists

They look pretty darned good so far, I'm already expecting them to break 100 and will be disappointed if they don't.
Does that make me a mean person?
