You see there is 4 minutes left, and think it’s almost over, but they call a timeout after every possession.

Not as bad as waiting for ESPN to go to the LSU game but they're sticking with the game that's 55-21 in the 4th quarter and the team with 21 is throwing incomplete passes on every down.

But yeah, pretty bad.

Which is why the NBA overhauled their timeout rules. CBB could acquiesce

What's even more pathetic is the end of basketball games that are within 15 points...still do that shite in the final minute.

Unless it's a total blowout, it's extend the game, extend the game, extend the game.

One time Duke came back from 10 points down with a minute left and ever since then every team has been doing this foul, time-out, foul, time-out, foul, foul, foul.

Duke did that without fouling a ton, too. Jason Williams heated up and they got a key steal or two, IIRC.

It gets worse when they add extra commercial time in the tourney.

UNI is the greatest. up by 10 in 30 seconds and you still lose

Led by Alex Caruso's 25 points and 22 more from Danuel House in the second half and overtimes, the third-seeded Aggies (28-8) rallied from 12 points down with 44 seconds remaining in regulation -- 10 down with less than 30 seconds -- to defeat the Panthers 92-88 in double overtime on Sunday night.

The last 50 seconds of the Rockets game last night took what seemed like 15 minutes...ridiculous.
