This week's Titus Top 12

Mr. Titus is back -- here's but a stylized snippet:

"...in college basketball, every team uses its preferred brand of basketball for home games. This means that a team playing a stretch of three out of four games on the road could end up using balls that are different in both feel and bounce in four straight games. How has this never been addressed? How has the NCAA not mandated that every team use the same brand and model of ball? Or at the very least, why don’t conferences make their teams play league games with an official game ball? Wisconsin fans will tell you that the Buzzcuts are so tough to beat at home because of their raucous crowd and Bo Ryan’s coaching genius, and they’re not wrong. But Wisconsin’s home success might also have something to do with how it’s always freezing inside the Kohl Center and the school’s ball of choice is a lopsided turd encased in hard plastic, polished with a tub of K-Y Jelly and stuck in an icebox for 72 hours before tipoff..."
