The last two minutes of college basketball games have gotten excrutiating….

If the game is within 5 points, the last two minutes is going to be at least 20 minutes in real time….horrible to watch.

They have to move to coaches challenges

Unless it's LSU and they're so far behind that it doesn't matter.

I’d be in favor of getting rid of replay reviews for all sports.

I’m not against reviews, but now they’re reviewing things that are so clear to begin with…I don’t care if it’s “inside the final two minutes”….stop it.

Unwatchable television.
I don't know how any of y'all do it. Penalties and Timeouts ARE the game. It's not a game.

broken game. might as well start the game with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. would still take an hour to finish.

I only watch if I record it and ff through the 12 timeouts in the last 2 minutes. So stupid
Why do they give them that many timeouts?

It is absurd. And that’s the problem. Teams are alloted too many timeouts. Combine that with the reviews and it is an awful watch.

I know this might not be a popular opinion, but one way to avoid getting exhausted by basketball games is to do sample viewing. Watch a few minutes midway through the first half and a minute or so before halftime. Then a few minutes midway through the second half and the last couple of minutes of regulation.
If your team is way behind at halftime, you haven't missed much, and you haven't stressed yourself out. Same if they are still behind midway through the second half. If it's a competitive game every time you check in, you can commit to more sampling.
I also find that this allows me to sample several SEC games at once. As I said, some people might not like this approach. But I agree that watching every second of a basketball game, particular the last few minutes, has become a chore.

LSU only plays for first half victories :)
