Coming off a win the other night with the Jazz over the Lakers. Read this I cut and pasted here and then see if you agree with this play.
The game will be played in two 20-minute halves. Individual foul totals will be kept, but a player cannot foul out. A team will be in the penalty situation after 10 team fouls or after the second foul in the final two minutes of each half. In the event of a tie game, there will be a two-minute overtime to determine the winner. The clock will stop after each successful field goal in the last minute of each half.
Notice the game is only 40 minutes instead of 48 minutes. No penalty FT's until the 10th foul or the second foul under two minutes. This all helps the game to stay Under the number. Want more. This is the 9th time for this game. The past 8 times, the game went Over tonights number just twice.
Here are the past total points, starting with the first game in 2000. Only 2004 and 2007 went Over.
2000 Rookies 92, Sophomores 81 (OT)
2001 Sophomores 121, Rookies 113
