Form Has Little Meaning in Basketball Too Hot and Cold
Sports writer Harry Grayson argues basketball scoring is skewed by home courts and bases. He notes Oklahoma A and M defeats Norman Navy Zoomers 23 to 22 and Arkansas 66 to 41, while home courts and rough baserim play inflate defense and fatigue. He observes bases produce low scores and rough play, with crowd endurance and court conditions shaping outcomes.
