You do know that they did not play both games with the same ball right? LSU played in Carolina and Iowa played in Washington.

You got a problem? Over inflated basketball affect how well the offense can perform, and LSU has one of the best offenses in the country. Pretty simple concept really.

If it is a different ball why aren’t all teams using it during the season to get used to it?
And if they are inflated differently for tourney and teams know that why aren’t they inflating them to proper standards

I think teams should be allowed to use a ball or balls that aren't new or tournament new balls or whatever they use. I would prefer to use a ball that is a lil worn that you can grip and dribble and shoot well with and just put the tourney stamp on it or whatever they do to it. The teams that are about to play each other should agree to it, that is what ball they wanna use. I mean NFL teams or rules allow QBs to use the football that they wanna use. I've seen Tom Brady using some pretty worn out footballs on offense (the deflateable ball debacle). Lol Opposing NFL QBs use whatever ball they're comfortable with on offense. In the NBA too they use a basketball that they're comfortable with.

Well I can tell you at least one person likes the basketballs and its that chick from Iowa....jeez...11-19 shooting and 8-14 from 3...mix in 10 boards and 12 assists.

If she shoots like that against S Car...the racist coach might be a little concerned.

S Carolina coach is racist? But a shooter like Clark is gonna hit shots no matter what kind of ball it is. Lol She's like a female Steph Curry in that you can give her any kind of ball, and it don't matter because she's gon hit the shots because of her deft touch.

well, I wouldn't know because I don't keep up with women's college bball, that's why I asked. But if she is there's no room for that in that business.

Iowa was playing in Washington. Lsu was playing in South Carolina. Big difference. So if it was an inflatable problem then the balls could have been inflated differently at each site. Maybe it was an accident. As far as why Clark was making everything. Over inflation doesn't affect shots going straight through the hoop. Would only affect balls hitting the rim, like layups
