Bazz 4 pointer

[jibsey]

Donovan quote " it was not a foul". Bazz goes straight up on his jumpshots and usually falls backward. If he lands on a florida player's foot who has moved into his landing spot and falls to the floor how is that not a foul?

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

whatever, apparently if u breathe on a Florida player inside the paint, its also a foul?

 

[upstater]

Someone needs to rewind to Boatright's 3 point shot shortly before that. Boatright was plowed over, and the refs were looking for the same thing.

In real time, it looked like a foul.
In slow-mo, he does jump forward a BIT, and he did land on the UF player's foot, but probably not a foul. You have to let a guy land from where he took off, but Bazz land a few inches ahead of where he took off from.
With all the phantom calls that went against us inside, I'll take it.

What pissed me off was on last night's Sportscenter, Scott Van Pelt said of Napier's 4-pt play: "That's not a foul, he just fell down". UHHHH, no. He landed on the dude's foot. He didn't just fall.
Scott Van Pelt also said of Napier's game winner: 'Double dribble? Maybe... it goes uncalled'. I slowed that down and not only does Bazz move the the ball and have it hit into a UF player's leg, it got tipped by a UF player as well. No double-dribble.

I love Scott Van Pelt, but he was a big UConn downer on sportscenter last night calling the highlights when I was excited to see them after I got home from the game.

Watching the replay, I'll admit I didn't see a foul. But UConn was called for ticky tac BS all night, and Florida shot 17 FTs versus 11 for us, so in my mind it evens out.

If they don't call a foul, Napier's buzzer beater ties the game instead of wins it. Then we go to overtime with momentum on our side and no point guard on the floor for Florida. Still like our chances.

We only had Amida at center. TO and Nolan were fouled out. Bazz had 4 fouls as well. I wouldnt say we had momentum if it went to OT.

Scott Van Pelt has always hated UConn because of he loves Maryland and Gary Williams.

Wow, that's a real buzzkill. This is a game of national significance that should elevate our program's profile at least this year (and may help for beyond), and the major media outlet, the primary conduit to fans, is downplaying and questioning the validity of it.

Considering recent history .....what else would you expect, really?

ESPN being ESPN

just remember, most of these guys are transients who moved here from elsewhere and are fans of other schools

they live among UConn fans, have to deal with the fact that UConn is better than their school, and I believe that deep down inside they despise us

throw in their hate for JC, and you have the perfect storm

has anyone ever heard any national broadcaster on any network ever say any other program is "falling apart at the seams"? (1 yr before we won the NC BTW) or how about telling some kid over the air that he should "reconsider his commitment"?

did Scott mention anything about BS calls that went against us? I doubt it, they are what they are, jackwagons and haters

Bazz had 3 fouls. Finney-Smith had 4. They basically played 6 players, 1 was injured and a second had 4 fouls. In addition Frazier had played 39 minutes and Prather 37. Considering our performance in overtime last year, I would have liked our chances. But the foul was called, the shot was made and it went into the book like several questionable calls and non calls on the other side of the ledger as well.

 

[upstater]

If you look at TCF's highlight thread, you'll see the non-call on Boat's 3 pointer at the 6:03 minute mark of the video.

Scott Van Pelt has always hated UConn because of he loves Maryland and Gary Williams.

I'm always amazed that posts like this happen. Van Pelt practically blew Kemba every time he talked about him. This so-and-so "hates" UConn stuff is so childish.

Just for further support on this play. Remember a person named Kobe Bryant who had a significant ankle injury after someone stepped into his landing zone? ABSOLUTELY A FOUL!

What recruit was that said to and by whom?

 

[willie99]

What recruit was that said to and by whom?

Roscoe Smith, Doug Gottlieb

after the 9/10 team was routed in their 1st game in the BET

 

[aceboon]

What recruit was that said to and by whom?

Doug Gottlieb to Roscoe after the blowout loss to St Johns in the '10 BE tourney

He loved Kemba so much he picked underdog Butler to win! He loved Kemba so much that he groused about UConn's methods citing verbatim an article in the Washington Post about how the program was built in the murky AAU waters. Many times, you don't know WTF you're talking about.

 

[Mots010]

Florida got the lead back even after the 4 point play. All they had to do was not give up like 3 offensive rebounds in the last minute and they win the game. Considering they manhandled us on the boards, thats a pretty big fail on their part.

 

[Kitaman]

Wow Donavan said his player didn't foul Bazz! Reminds me of the Boneyard threads that said Bazz didn't foul on that offensive charge call.

We want it both ways or only our way. I understand.

 

[sparky]

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Game to watch!!!!!!! Patric Young is a BEASTLY MAN and a VERY GOOD player.

You're right about the offensive foul and we all knew it even though Bazz acted like he didn't, but a player has a right to land after a jump shot. Different story on a drive to the hoop. For Donovan it is heat of the moment stuff after a very tough loss. hard to bite your tongue. We can go through the tape and find 20 questionable calls on any given night and the funny thing is they can all change the outcome and be as important as the last play. As far as sportscasters hating us and not giving our due and dredging up the past, IMO there is still a bunch of that out there, but it also seems that they like KO and his whole NBA theme which comes up ten times a game so that is what we are going to hear all year and maybe forever, how many coaches he played for.....

I don't know who Scott Van Pelt loves or hates other than the fact that he's in love with Scott Van Pelt, and it's annoying.
