Reminds me of when I had a basketball game on, I'll say SNES. I turned off the fouls and travelling and such and won 200-0. |

Jesus Southern straight up beat them in every possible way. Hell Southern made more shots than Champion attempted! Also 69 to 22 was the rebound count and Champion had 27(  !) turnovers! Just damn man. |

This is one of those occasions where I have a problem with running up the score. Champion Baptist doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, apparently has an enrollment of around 200, and used Twitter to try to recruit people for the basketball team. When you're up 50, that's when you should really just stop scoring against a team from a school like that.
For the record I have no problem running up the score, except in situations like this where the gap between schools is so damn ridiculous. Champion Baptist plays in a Christian League, if it was another Division 1 school Southern did it to, that would be cool, but this is just ridiculous.

What in the blue hell is Champion Baptist College? The most oxymoronical name for a school ever apparently. |

Suddenly I want to play NBA Jam. Or actually, College Slam.

Champion Baptist College may not look good there, but I bet they beat Division-I Chicago State.
Makes you wonder whether getting that check for playing far-superior teams is really worth the embarrassment of being known as the team that got their butts handed to them by Southern. (Then again, Valparaiso just recognized the 25th Anniversary of beating LaPhonso Ellis & a highly-ranked Notre Dame team on national TV.)

When you've got such tiny enrollment, any lump of cash is worth the ritual slaughter, because tuition income has got to be paltry. Not to build a basketball team that can actually win, but to help finance construction of a new building on campus, or a new dorm? |

I can understand that honestly, I live where an NAIA Division II college is working to get a baseball/softball field, a soccer field and tennis courts built so it can have the facilities needed to compete at a higher level. They have a somewhat regular series with U. Illinois-Chicago. But they aren't getting slaughtered like that; the games are at least somewhat close, even if they lose a lot of them.

Champion Baptist plays in a Christian League, if it was another Division 1 school Southern did it to, that would be cool, but this is just ridiculous. That's a fair point- but there is also a point where, honestly, what is Southern supposed to do? There's "rest the starters' (and the bench for Southern did have a relatively good amount of minutes- most of them having 10+ minutes in the game), but even that only gets you so far- especially with a mismatch like this. There's "stop scoring", but when it gets this far (and considering Southern isn't exactly a top-tier team (4-9 with the win)- if a better team than them played Champion Baptist, it'd go past "put the 8-12th men in the game all 40 minutes", go past "stop shooting", and go right to "openly pass Champion players the ball- if not just start shooting in your own basket" levels of scoreproof work.. |
